I'd comment, but I'll just get shit from the thingy in your signature.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Enjoys doing what he does
But he did bin it and the reason he binned it was because of a cold tyre... hence my comment.
Your right though if he had stayed on who knows what would have happened

Like fuck he would have.
He crashed in the 15th corner when Rossi was nearly out of the pits...at best he would of been on Rossis ass goin into the 1st corner.
It would of been all on for a scrap in the last laps hence Jorge was pushing to get in front for max advantage.

Rossi fucked up, pretty easy to see why I reckon. He knew he couldn't keep pace with Jlo on slicks. So he tried to get Jorge to stay out on wets with him. When Jeorge biffed it, Rossi had 500meters to go before open road at 60kph. Jorge had him dead to rights, and threw it away.
Of an enviable height
There was, what, 8 laps to go or so? With the rate that Rossi was losing time compared to the slick-shod bikes, Smith would have passed him even if Rossi stayed out right to the end. The only thing I can think of is that Rossi was hoping it would start raining again.
Why you'd do as many laps as possible at a slow pace before coming in, switching to the slick-shod bike and going faster, is beyond me. Unless you didn't know that slick-shod bikes were faster.
I wonder what might have been if Lorenzo had obeyed his 'PIT' board and gone in a lap earlier, i.e. when MM did?

You stick to your story and I'll stick to Jorge knowing he would lose in a last lap scrap.

I'm not getting your logic here. At the time Lorenzo pitted, the slick shod guys were more than 9 seconds a lap faster, thus taking into account the 3 to 4 second lead Rossi had on Lorenzo at the time - the act of Rossi staying out one extra lap would of given Lorenzo at least a 5 second lead. So I'm with Drew on this one.
I'm "Guessing" that Rossi was thinking Lorenzo was going to mimic anything he did, and was betting his prowess on shagged tyres would give him a decent time advantage when he finally did pit - next lap would of been my guess. For sure he is lucky that Lorenzo crashed after not following Rossis script!

Pressure baby...even metronomes like Lorenzo can fold under it.
Fuck Rossi is god.

If Marquez hadn't biffed it in so many races this year he'd just about be champion again.

Best comment I have read
has made a bo-bo in his nappies
Wow, M-D is super-sarcastic - this arvo..

I was using the example to point out Rossi's mistake. Not to play 'what if'.
Instead, the bitch had udders.

Don't judge everyone based on your own family.

...exactly...it's in the books...VR has increased his lead in the champs...what more conjecture can there be had...I must stop mentioning that JL threw his bike away...VR didn't...what if, what if, what if...
