During the three day test at Sepang, Repsol Honda and Yamaha engaged in some friendly bantering on Twitter, but apparently the Japanese team has decided take on that certain ‘belittling’ Valentino Rossi to set off some extra sparks between the fan factions (as if they needed something else to set them off) by posting this TwitPic of the two World Champion riders MotoGP stats from 2006 to 2011.

And the gloves are off … as the stats say it all.

Updated:Valentino Rossi who is sitting at home recovering from his yesterday’s surgery was informed of the stats and hit back via his Twitter @ValeYellow46: with “eh eh,very easy compare the numbers between me and Stoner from 2006,when I won already 5 champs and 53 races mgp” and “more real compare the first 5 season of me with the first 5 of Stoner”In just over an hour since Repsol Honda posted the stats they have now removed them after some backlash saying “exactly, it’s only pointing out the stats from the last 5 years, not belittling what VR46 has achieved before!” – “Ok ok… will remove… wasn’t belittling @ValeYellow46 achievements … just comparing” – “hope you’re right… it was only a comparison… not malicious!”And this how a little PR can backfire on you.
