MotoGP 2015

It's very hard not to pay extra attention to Marquez' riding in that race, after it is put in your head that he's helping Lorenzo. There's no way to know though, so well done to Jorge.

Rossi rode a blinder. He was outstanding and did everything he possibly could have.

By Christ Pedrosa can mange a set of hoops can't he? I think his was the stand out ride of the race As seemingly unexciting as it looked, that was very fucken clever.

That was unbearably tense.

That was unbearably tense.

Only in the last few laps. The rest was reasonably predictable.

Lorenzo handed the champions title on a plate = a hollow and possibly undeserved trophy

Real champion is most peoples minds is Rossi who rode from last on the grid to 4th place

Absolutely disgusting state of affairs

Moto GP is getting as bad as F1 got a few years ago with team orders to settle out who won races and who didn't

[FROSTY:Me]

I guess the only question is COULD Rossi have won if he started from the grid he would have been in?
Not Should or would but simply Could.
Were his lap times fast enough to be cutting it with those 3 guys?
he would have needed to be faster that pedro and MM at some point in the race.

I thought the same. The result would quite likely have been the same except the race would/could have been a big snoozer (no getting to see VR do all the passing) after the first couple of laps.

Based on lap times, the result would have been the same

LOl. Good acid at your place eh? The best man won the title this year. End of story and a fact.

I reckon if he'd started from the front rows he'd have contrived a way to be there and in all probability won the championship.

He lost it at the Thursday press conference in Sepang. Which brings a wonderful element of karma to the whole proceedings.

Marquez suddenly found the wherewithal to pounce back on Pedrosa when he went past, then catch right back up to Lorenzo, yet never troubled Lorenzo once. It was all a bit blatant.

Best man? Most consistent rider this year for sure.

I'm going to switch back to superbikes for a couple of years I think. Bad form all round.

Aaaand, would he have only been 7 points behind had he not (intentionally or not intentionally - lets not go there) knocked MM off at Sepang.

Lorenzo was the fastest man on the track this year, he won the title by being so. I'm not a fan of him but it is what it is. Well done George.
Fuck I thought Pedrosa might rain on his parade though, there is no way in hell Pedrosa would assist young JL to a title. Great race.

Well done Danny Kent, WTF was Ono up to? Had me shitting bricks.

[carbonhed]

Rossi's press conference is as snivellingly pathetic as your worst nightmares.

This sums it up pretty much I reckon

Couldn't agree less sorry. First of all, most consistent man was Rossi. Next, people very easily forget that Lorenzo is often untouchable when given clear track. He simply did it again. Next up, MM isn't silly. He'd have known that even if Pedro got past him and beat Lorenzo, that Lorenzo would've still been the champ provided he didn't also pass him. Next, even if Rossi started from the 2nd row, he wouldn't have been able to do any better than fourth. He was more often than not, the fourth fastest man all season. The fastest and best man won fair and square.

[Asher]

I hope someone lays a complain against MM for match fixing. I'm sure the pace at the front was near 100% but for MM to not even show JL a wheel then to put the hard moves on DP when he got close makes it pretty hard to argue MM wasn't JLs wingman in that race.
