It would be interesting to see how he'd go if in a race situation (instead of just a parade lap). I don't think he'd do a race but if he came and won then maybe he definately would deserve the GOAT tag.

He'd never race, out there he might be one of the best racers in MotoGP but he ain't stupid that takes a different bigger set of balls.

Here's an interesting article on the Belfast Telegraph website on that subject from a journo who overheard Rossi & Guy Martin chatting...
