Answered your own question. You showed your hand there, but at least you didn't try to pretend to be a fan of the sport.
Basically, Rossi is still there because he's still good at it. Good enough to be on the grid without a shadow of doubt, and that's all that matters. Perhaps it would be more open minded to ask why various others are still on the grid, who not only perform worse than VR46 but also don't really bring anything else to the sport either?
As for the racing, unfortunately MotoGP is screwed when somebody can leave the track, drop to last place or whatever it was and still podium, if not win (which MM93 would undoubtedly have done had he not binned it).
The ease in which he sliced through the field wasn't just about his undeniable talent, it was also due to the total lack of resistance from anybody! They know they can't compete with him so they basically just get out of the way!
This is great if you are a rabid MM93 fanboy I suppose, but not if you're a genuine fan of bike racing.
As usual, Moto3 delivered the goods!! Felt sorry for McPhee, but at least he went down fighting!
