Did you see what he said about Marquez to the Italian press?
“Because he would prefer Lorenzo to win. He is angry at me for a personal matter. Although he never said it, he thinks that in Argentina I made him crash; and then at Assen he is still thinking about the last chicane, in his head he feels he should have won that race. Since then he has been angry and thinking like a child: I do not win, but you do not win either. At this point, the lesser evil is for him is for Lorenzo to win.”
"Watch out, here we must make a clarification: did he really idolise me? Did he really have my poster at home? I'm not so sure. I'd like to go back in time and see. It will also be a question of character, he is competing with me: I want to win as many World Championships as I can. If I win another title, then he knows that he will have to win one more to overtake me. If instead Jorge wins, then they have more or less the same.”
That's the sound of the wheels coming off a reputation.
Not a fan of the smack talk in that context, Doohan was far better at getting into their heads without the Boxing style circus build up crap.
You would almost be forgiven for thinking Lorenzo won the race the way Rossi was coming across to me. I know its a ploy but it seems a bit trite.
Better to let the bike do the talking by setting a decent time in Q.

There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
I see a bunch of FANaticals getting all worked up ha. Either fanatical supporters or haters of Rossi. Fans of MotoGP otherwise are wating for a great race this weekend.
It turns out each does have there own. I am aware of most of the tacics but not all
Keep scrolling through its bloody interesting, someone has spent the time analysing each style

The looking at there tyre selection might not work quite so well now though
Rossi it seems uses a few styles, but is pretty consistent with his techniques.

The tire comment was all but to cement what I had already said. I do not think I am god, I have just followed this game and paid attn and worked my ass off to get where I got, so I do understand a thing or 2 about the whole big picture, No matter what some other experts may type about me in there childish manner
Wooooo Hold ya horse Shaun, it wasn't a dig at you, it was in the links, it was something Bazza used to try and make the guy think he had made a selection with the tyre compound. I suggested it was unlikely to work now as they have so few to choose from anyway. Maybe not in a clear way but that was what I was meaning
There is 6 or seven pages of the article there.Sheene reputedly went one stage further in trying to mislead his Suzuki team-mate Pat Hennen by leaving false bike settings lying around their shared garage, hoping Hennen would try them. Sheene was also not beyond staring warily at other riders' tyres on the gird in an attempt to plant seeds of doubt in their minds about whether they had made the right tyre choice.

Have you got a link to Oxley or Emmet's reaction to Rossi's brainfart?

I think it's just Rossi playing mind games again, If he winds up Marquez enough then Marquez will go and try to win every race to prove a point and if he does and Lorenzo finishes second with Rossi third then he still gets the title.

You can play mindgames with people you're quicker than. Lorenzo and Marquez know, without a shadow of a doubt, that they're quicker than Rossi... and annoying Marquez could just prove to be the dumbest thing he's ever done.
All Rossi's got to do is qualify on the front row, lead into turn one and control the race from the front. Take everybody else out of the equation. Just be fast.
