Well pretend Rossi and Burgess had not been there, dropped out whatever. Yamaha and Biaggi had seen the limit of their development and that same year Honda fielded a horde of RCVs due to Rossi being at Yamaha, which we are pretending didnt happen.
does max win that title??Not sure.
I say the bike was there due to Rossi signing and his feedback. I say they won the title that year due to Yamaha taking a new direction under Burgess and Rossi's input. The success of the cross plane had alot to do with Burgess' tuning on Rossi's feedback. No Rossi, no cross plane, no Burgess, no championship, IMHO.
