Even out of active competition, Rossi's riding still has flair. Even in a demo run, that body language and line of sight are the real deal. For our generation, just seeing him swing a leg over a Yamaha again warms our hearts. Goodwood isn't a competition, but seeing a legend genuinely enjoying himself is exactly what fans want to see most.

It's a demo run, right? Not a real race, yet he still gets top billing — that's Rossi's popularity for you.

In terms of popularity alone he might still be bigger than Marquez, well, it's just a fact.

Retired or not, Rossi's still Rossi, seeing that number 46 gets me every time.

Rossi riding a Yamaha at Goodwood, it makes me tear up.

What era's the Yamaha he rode this time? Curious which M1 model it was.
