There are reports saying Rossi asked to Aleix Spargaro after the race why he fought so hard when Rossi was behind. Definitely Rossi had lost his mind. Crazy.

 

Espargaro replied to that post on twitter saying it was absolutely fake...

There are various reports on the internet saying that Rossi definitely has lost his mind.

 

Crazy when you come to think about it....

WARNING: NOT MOTOGP

 

Many of you guys have probably already watched this, but this movie is on Netflix now and I definitely recommend it-

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3546370/

 

"Road", it's about the 2 generations of Dunlop brothers that have raced motos since the 70s. You guys all know that Joey and Robert were both killed in race crashes, and I knew that too, but seeing the footage of Robert's accident just floored me. It's as emotional as watching "Senna" and seeing the look on his face as he's preparing for Imola '94 on the grid, knowing what is about to happen to him. Tragic and also well made, and of course the TT videos are utterly thrilling.

People misjudge this year IMHO. What Rossi showed is that he would anhiliate this younger generation a decade ago confirming he is a class above anybody.

 

 

Ah yes, the years he shadowed Sete for a whole race before just overtaking him at the end. I'm sure Sete compared well to Lorenzo, Marquez and Pedrosa in talent.

Okay, but how would Espargaro know what Rossi talked about with Spargaro? And which Espargaro made the denial anyway?

Scroll a tiny bit down, and you will see what he have to say about that. 

 

Clue: "Totally false !!!"

[Arn]

And no, Rossi certainly DID NOT have the pace of the top three in the last three races of the season. No matter how yellow the tint of your glasses might be.

 

 

Go look at the times from PI.

 

It was clear by watching the race and looking at the times, that Rossi was fast enough to catch and pass Lorenzo if not for Marquez slowing him and Iannone down on several occasions.

 

Now who has tinted glasses?

[Atreiu]

Too bad he could do nothing about Ianonne while Marquez was away.

 

Ianonne is the one who should be pissed. Rossi ruined his race.

You are losing it. Jorges championship does not taste as good as you expected? You have my sympathy.

Does anyone know whether the dude who made Faster was embedded in the paddock this season?

[Chubby_Deuce]

I don't believe so. I think he was busy finishing and promoting the one that just came out.

[Dan333SP]

Too bad, this season would have made for an excellent docu-drama with the converging storylines in the last couple races.

[Jamelon]

Without Marquez' championship-fixing agenda, the worst possible results for Rossi would have been:

 

Philip Island:
1. Marquez
2. Ianone
3. Rossi
4. Lorenzo

 

Both Rossi and Iannone had clearly better race pace than Lorenzo in this race. That's why Marquez' had to hold them until the last lap to make sure they didn't have enough time to catch him. Marquez passed JL because at this point he thought it wouldn't be necessary to compromise a race win, he'd given him enough extra points at the time.

After PI: Rossi 299, Lorenzo 278

Sepang
1. Pedrosa/Marquez
2. Pedrosa/Marquez
3. Lorenzo
4. Rossi

 

No question about the race pace of the Hondas here, Marquez' race was a bad joke.
After Sepang: Rossi 312, Lorenzo 294

Valencia
1. Pedrosa/Marquez
2. Pedrosa/Marquez
3. Lorenzo
4. Rossi

 

I'm ignoring the effect of the penalty here. We don't really know Rossi's race pace as he never really had a reason to push too hard.
After Valencia: Rossi 325, Lorenzo 310

 

Marquez' biggest impact was on giving Jorge a good chunk of extra points in PI and Valencia that he wouldn't otherwise have earned on the track, more than taking points off Rossi.

Stoner coming back with Ducati. But I wonder is there a chance for a full time comeback? What do you guys think?

I think he will want to try. I see no other reason.

Uh-huh.....which is another way of saying "I have no argument"

[repete]

he did, while fighting. When he reached 4th there was no point to take risks anymore though, he knew he would have to run 0.6-0,7 a lap faster than the top trio just to get chance to overtake at the last lap. But that is not really the point, head Rossi been up there at the start it would have been a completely different race. Rossi has been stronger than Jorge at the latter parts of the race all season and Jorge, in spite of not being threatened at all, had tunnel vision from the stress. It would have been different. It would have been a great battle to watch for all of us. 

so 32+ is faster than 31's?

[ardbeg]

so 32+ is faster than 31's?

I am not surprised you need to ask

[rtechmobile]

Too many silly games lost the championship for Rossi his own games and falling for Marquez's . 

[Atreiu]

You are losing it. Jorges championship does not taste as good as you expected? You have my sympathy.

I am also being totally ironic.
