    I think people might have gone for Marquez as more recent especially if google was required. Rossi would have been my only thought on this

    Think Ronaldo was the top answer for those of us with little sporting knowledge who just googled the question because we just love playin' SHEEP. You didn't account for us and our non-sporty ways...

    Probably not a sport everyone is interested in so not surprising google was required. In fairness Marquez is an unbelievable talent but Rossi is for most people who are interested in it the number one (for now)

    Ah balls, looks like its just me and Barney at the bottom of the table, and he's aiming for aces!
