I'm not really a fan of any of 'em really, although I do have people I'd rather NOT see win.

I don't really get into the backstage stuff either, I haven't got time.

But I spotted an interesting thing in your post, if you were Michelin and had a choice as to which rider got the tyres they wanted who would you make sure got them.

Cleary they went for Rossi.

So there must be a reason for them making that choice.
