Whose taller, Vale or Edwards?

    I was mildly shocked to discover that Rossi is 182cm tall.

    I mean, I always figured he looked reasonably tall, obviously taller
    than Biaggi and Capirossi. But he's also taller than Edwards (179cm)
    and Bayliss (174cm). At 59kg quite a bit lighter than both, though.

    I chatted to Adam Fergusson down at the Blade Blast recently and
    remarked "aren't you a bit tall to be a racer?" - he's 180cm. Though a
    solid 17kg heavier than Rossi.

    Evidently it's not as relevant as I thought.

    Makes him 183 cm and 76 kg. Though any possible causal link has not
    been verified...

    It was always assumed to be Kevin Magee and Rob McElnea's "problem". (And
    Daryl Beattie in the 250s)
    Handy for muscling a superbike around but a bummer in those slipstreaming &
    braking duels......

    And my vote for "GP rider you'd most like to punch".Again? Is this just routine maintenance or has there been an "event"?

    A solid 17 kg heavier? You mean a loose 17 kg would make a difference?
