Rossi got special treatment, because he is Rossi.. If Marquez had done exactly as Rossi, just imagine the outcome. I don't think Marquez did anything wrong.

 

You are totally wrong.

I'm fed up with loaded questions like this.

 

How do you vote if you don't think he got harsh enough a penalty. He didn't, a slap on the wrist and still he's complaining.

Rossi got special treatment becasue A) he is rossi and B) he is in the title race.

 

He should be feeling lucky that is punishment is not much worse. While watching the race the commendators were all talking about a DSQ as the minimum punishment he should receive.

Hilarious comments for that vid. Laughed out loud a couple times.

So the commentators are idiots.  They are also there to call the race, not act as stewards.

You sure about that?
You think the Espargario brothers like Marc Marquez after their intense rivalry in the lower formulas.
You think Dani likes Marc Marquez after some really aggressive moves against him over the past 3 years?
You think Bradl, Miller, Vinales and Redding like the Marquez brothers?
Do you think Ianone, Dovi, and Petrucci are gonna fight the doctor hard?
Smith was recently invited to the Doctors ranch, you think he wants to upset Rossi?
The only out and out fan on the grid of Marc Marquez is Crutchlow.
Don't be surprised to see Rossi sithing through the field, lots of these younger guys have no ill will against Rossi, in fact many have spent the weekend at his ranch.
The point is there plenty of good will up and down the paddock for the old man, and many have been on the receiving end of hard racing from MM, and may feel a little sympathy for the old man and would prefer to be in his good graces.
Jorge as I understand is not the most popular rider, I really doubt anyone (other than Marc) cares who wins the title out of Jorge and Rossi this year.
BTW - it has been reported that race direction will be telling people not to interfere with the championship off the back of sepang. I wouldn't be surprised to see the sea parting for Rossi from the back of the grid.


I'm a Rossi fan but I doubt Bradley Smith would think 'Oh no, I better let Rossi past or I won't be invited back to the ranch.'

Lol.

Bradley has an employer he needs to keep happy, not Rossi.

You mention that Crutchlow is a Marquez fan, but he is also a business partner with Rossi and that means more I would think.

But in any case I don't think riders will just stop for Rossi. Their teams would not be happy if they lost additional places while letting Rossi through.
