    And Lorenzo has never won a race by getting the holeshot and leading every single lap? You guys are insulting the mans skills. MM could've beaten him and he'd still be champ. Comprede?

    Lorenzo would have had the championship without Marquez being his little bitch.

    Bit of a shit end to a great season.

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.
    The stats disagree. Even with Lorenzo's single retirement his average finishing position was 2.4 to Rossi's 2.6.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    JL ran a great race but MM didn't even look like he was thinking about passing JL. Yeah if MM got past JL would still win but that would leave JL open for an attack by DP, who had much more speed than the front two in the closing laps.

    hmmm....interesting.....



    'In a bizarre twist, Lorenzo appeared to support Rossi's claim in an interview with Movistar MotoGP channel
    Whilst denying that "any pact" existed between him and Marquez he intimated that his compatriots had helped him win the title by not passing him.
    "They knew what I had in play," Lorenzo said.
    "The fact they are Spaniards like me helped me.
    "That helped me because for sure in another kind of race they would have tried to overtake which they didn't this time."
    He added: "If Valentino had been in my position and with Italians behind they would have done exactly the same.
    "The title had to be for Spain."'

    That's the way I see it. MM looked to be riding to prevent DP from getting close to JL and possibly tangling with him.

    I think marqueers did it to make a point, there were plenty of times where he had to sit himself up to stop going past George.

    According to Twitter Rossi decided not to turn up to the motogp awards night. Classy...

    Rossi did a great job but alas, not good enough. It was always going to be difficult even from the front couple of rows.
    But what a ride !
    Just had to mute Nick Harris tho,he gives me the shits.

    They're all showing their (lack of) class, and Rossi is by no means the worst.
    The only one that comes out on the credit side of the ledger is DP.

    Rossi has tainted a glorious career, but I think in the future it will just be part of the legend.

    MM & JL on the other hand, have revealed themselves to be immature little pratts who will need to work hard to fix their public image.

    I don't recall a newly crowned world champion being booed on the podium (and despite MotoGP turning the sound effects mic down, you could clearly hear a portion of the crowd booing) in his own country before.

    We'll never know if MM was helping Lorenzo - unless one day he writes a book. I watched practice and qualifying and MMs bike was a bucking, weaving, writhing, barely conrollable beast of a thing. I don't remember seeing any of that during the race. I might have to watch it again but he seemed to be riding well within himself.

    Marquez says he had to ride to finish because he has has six DNFs already this season. Maybe.

    Ah well, things might quieten down now. Until tomorrow when testing gets underway. Sadly my video sub has expired, I might have to shelve the laptop and go for a ride on my bike or something...

    Pete, I'd have given you bling for the "acid" crack but I gotta share the love.

    Yup I love how he and the other fuckwit had written Dani Pedrosa, I says to me mate Askor "Watch Dani, he will come good".

    MM would have had to have made a hero move I think to crack JL's pace, they were both riding at the peak of their practice pace. Had MM tried a rough move he may have been guilty of what Rossi accused him of, which is interfering with those competing with the championship. I agree MM wasn't sporting though. If you want "Pure racing" go watch a club round. I personally am disappointed for Rossi that he didn't win, but JL did have the better pace all year.

    How was DP missing all those races in the opening rounds due to injury yet still finishing 4th in the championship? 100 premier class podiums and people question why he has that bike?

    Hahahaha...cheers!

    From an article on Superbike planet...

    All of which detracts from one fact that everyone, including the people who side with Rossi over what happened today, agrees on. The fastest man of the year, who won more races and led more laps than anyone else, won the championship.
