Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

The early Yamaha wasn't exactly last in the paddock, but it wasn't much better.

According to Qin Chuan's speculation, it is probably equivalent to the status of their current KTM and Aprilia, or even a little worse, similar to today's R Factory.

KTM and Aprilia were just a little behind Ducati, but at that time, Yamaha, although still ranked high, was far behind in racing performance.

Sixteen seconds ahead of the second place, what a concept.

This means that as long as Bentian runs away, the others can only compete for second place. Moreover, even if you take second place, your strength will not be able to stand out in front of Bentian.

The car with the second highest performance is just a small shrimp in front of Bentian, let alone Yamaha.

However, it is worth mentioning that Rossi’s treatment when he came to Yamaha was on par with Benda’s, and his salary increased by several levels.

In addition, Yamaha at that time completely obeyed Rossi's words, fully demonstrating its respect for a world champion.

When Rossi said to change the engine, Yamaha would immediately fly in five engines from the headquarters for Rossi to choose from. Wherever Rossi said the car should be changed, Yamaha engineers would change it.

This is early Yamaha.

It is worth mentioning that Rossi has another talent that is not considered a talent, and that is his perception of cars.

The two people with the best understanding of cars in the history of motogp, besides Pedrosa, are Rossi.

Peter Pan is the nickname given to Rossi by 46 fans. Rossi also has a nickname in the paddock called doctor, which is transliterated as doctor.

It means that he is like the car's doctor, with a strong sense of the car.

This kind of talent is useless, but it is very helpful for racing research and development. Qin Chuan knows that this is also the reason why KTM hired Pedrosa with a high salary.

The opinions given by the two of them after test driving the car are often very helpful in making changes to the car.

That year, Rossi took the team of technicians he brought from Bentian to complete the transformation of the Yamaha factory car, which was the original m1.

The modified Yamaha M1 factory car has made a qualitative leap in performance, but it is still no match for Benda's rc211v.

Bentian's arrogance is well-founded, and the strength of that rc211v is the source of his confidence.

Due to the rules of the year, Yamaha's factory bike had four cylinders for the same 1000cc displacement, but Benda's 211v had five cylinders.

Yes, the rules back then were not as complete as today's motogp. They only limited the displacement but not the number of cylinders, so Bentian took advantage of a loophole.

However, this loophole is also a symbol of Bentian's technology, because although the five-cylinder magic car exceeds the standard, others have really been unable to study it through research and development. Until now, Bentian has not launched the engine technology of this car to the outside world.

The current Ducati GP23 is already over the standard, but compared with Bentian's five-cylinder magic car at that time, is it over the standard? Not even as good as hair.

Rossi also admitted that this car completely crushed other manufacturers back then.

Even though Rossi's technician had been exposed to the rc211v countless times, he still couldn't adjust the Yamaha M1 to a level approaching that of the five-cylinder magic car.

So at the start of the season that year, Rossi adjusted his riding style.

Rossi's riding style has always been based on stability. Fans have experienced this when he was in Bentian. The average number of crashes is only once a year, and sometimes he does not even crash once a year. This is extremely rare in GP.

But there was a stage when he broke this style, and that was the first few years when he went to Yamaha.

At the beginning of the season, Rossi's technician told Rossi that if he drove this M211 in the same style as Benda's 1v, Rossi would have no chance of winning.

Qin Chuan looked at the video from that year. Rossi's overtaking style in Bentian focused on stability and following the car.

The top three started, and after catching up with the first place, they followed all the way until the end of the race before overtaking, taking full advantage of their own heart rate advantage at the end of the race.

In his first year at Yamaha, Rossi changed and became extremely aggressive. As long as he caught up with the car in front or someone overtook him, he would immediately fight back.

Qin Chuan studied it for a while and had to admit that the technician's idea was right.

Because if you use that m1 to follow the car, you may not be able to keep up with the 211v, so the best way out is to use your strength at the beginning of the race.

Rossi showed amazing strength that year.

After watching Rossi's difficult first year of racing with Yamaha, Qin Chuan finally understood Rossi's charm.

The charm of this nine-time champion is that he actually has many ways to win the world championship more easily, but he has to change his style and win it in his own way, avoiding the simplest way.

When he left Bentian, Bentian's senior management thought that Rossi was crazy and the media also thought that Rossi was crazy.

Twenty years later, it turns out that if Rossi had stayed in Benda and not gone to Yamaha, his career might have been far more than ten world championships.

Based on Qin Chuan's understanding of these drivers on the field, even if they are frustrated but can win the world championship, it is estimated that many drivers will be willing to go.

Maybe this is the reason why Rossi has so many fans, the unique charm of the nine-time champion.

In his first year after moving to Yamaha, Rossi changed his style and won his first world championship with Yamaha.

This year Rossi broke all doubts and overturned the media and Ben Tian's remarks, proving that even if the car is strong, it is still the people who can really determine the championship.

This is a slap in the face that only happens in novels.

That year Rossi also became the first driver in history to win consecutive world championships across teams, and he moved from a strong team to a weak team.

Yamaha won six championships in its first year.

His second year at Yamaha was also the year when Rossi had the most fans.

This year, almost everyone who watched the game was a fan of the future nine-time champion, even Qin Chuan who watched the game twenty years later.

This year Bentian launched a large-scale siege against Rossi. This siege was so outrageous that it even broke Qinchuan's somewhat solid understanding of the motogp arena.

There were a total of ten Bentian racing cars in the motogp field that year, yes, ten rc211vs.

Ten Bentian factory cars!

At this time, Qin Chuan finally understood how brilliant Bentian was back then.

Is Ducati strong today? Qin Chuan shook his head.

He recalled John's expression when he asked him about Ducati.

There is also the sentence "Today's Ducati is just imitating the Bentian of the past."

Car sea tactics, unified data, plus racing cars that look like plug-ins.

Qin Chuan completely agreed that this sentence was almost exactly the same, except that Ducati's current car did not have the same powerful dominance ability as Bentian back then.

The current GP has eight Ducatis leading the field, occupying the top ten, and is nicknamed Ducati GP by fans.

Back then, Bentian was much more powerful than today's Ducati, with ten bikes occupying the top position.

That year, all Bentian satellite teams plus the factory team participated in a total of ten riders, setting a record for the largest number of racing cars of the same brand in the history of motogp. Ten rc211v surrounded Rossi who was driving a Yamaha M1.

This year also allowed people to witness with their own eyes how strong Rossi was at his peak.

Rossi, who is close to 26 years old, seems to be able to face the encirclement and suppression of ten racing cars with ease.

It is worth mentioning that that year MotoGP came to China for the first time, that is, the Magic City Station, and Rossi won the Magic City Championship.

The person who presented the award at that time was Mr. Ma, the boss of Baobao Shopping Network who is very familiar to Chinese people and the former richest man in China.

Until the last stop, Rossi still won the world championship without any suspense and has since become a seven-time champion!

This year was also the most regrettable year for 46 fans ten years later. Rossi, who was less than 26 years old ten years ago, withstood the pressure of Bentian's encirclement and suppression.

Ten years later, the 36-year-old Rossi failed to withstand the pressure of the East Bay siege and lost his tenth championship.

In line with what he said back then, even with his amazing talent, this nine-time crown champion eventually lost to time.

After seven championships, Rossi set a record, that is, he is the only rider in history to defend the highest motogp category world championship for five consecutive years.

That's right, Horse King's highest record is four consecutive years, while Rossi's is five consecutive years, Benda three times and Yamaha twice.

After seven championships, Rossi once publicly stated that he would consider retiring after winning two more championships. This statement was true, but it was broken by the arrival of two people, namely Pedrosa and Stoner.

The second of the five legends.

In the third year, two newcomers were promoted to the lower motogp categories.

............................................................

ps: I don’t know if anyone likes to see this kind of old news.

Why write about Rossi in detail? Because 46's career is long enough to cover all the stories of the five legends. Writing about him is equivalent to telling all five.

As for how long 46’s career is, well... there have been more than 700 races in the history of motogp, and he has participated in 400 races, which is long enough.

On a side note, I said before that a very famous event on a certain short video platform was once a branch of GP.

The name of gp at that time was wgp. It was reformed three times. It was first called wgp, then gp500, and then motogp.

The year after Rossi won his first world championship in Benda was the year when gp500 was renamed motogp.

So Rossi is also the last GP500 world champion and the first motoGP world champion.
