Superdupercool "dudes" like Gardner, Lawson and Doohan to say nothing of Fast Freddie Spencer doing the 250/500 double in the same year, all rode Rothmans NSRs.

Freddie's feat alone gives the Rothmans rep more kudos than the Repsol will ever have. This (winning the top 2 catagories in the same year) may well remain a record for ever.

Rossi? He's not fit to wipe their boots, as Dani has shown anyone half decent can jump on the diesel and go real quick straight away.

Add to that the Rothmans is a real 250 colour scheme, Repsol 250's were Aprilias.
