Some insane riding by the 2 of them. Some one was gunna crash out. I hope Rossi can escape punishment.

press conference on.....Rossi to start at back of grid in Valencia

[Moise]

Fascinating how we see what we want to.

I doubt that Rossi will make it very far through the field at Valencia. There are a lot of Spanish riders ...

Calling Mike Web! Kiwi in control.

You're kidding mate. Wet bus ticket at worst from that bloke. Hopeless Yes-man.

Here is the Gif I just made I can't get the official view as MGP has blocked the video for NZ so its a bit fuzzy but its clear were the contact was made and in what order

As I said two contacts he crashes on the second contact foot leaves the pegs . He actually hits Rossi's leg on the second contact as well.

Back of the grid at Valencia.

Flossi no show in press conference.

You think back to Simoncelli getting a ride through penalty for chopping Pedros nose off and Flossi's just allowed to cruise on to the end. Laughable.

It's easy from in front of yer TV, isn't it?

[puddytat]

Rossi keeps the points for third.....

Dirtiest and nastiest piece of riding I've ever seen. What a total looser Rossi.

Rossi will always be a great rider. Marquez got as good as he gave. He almost took out Rossi in the preceding laps. One of them was gunna crash. For me I am glad it was Marquez. Marquez had nothing to lose.
Let's hope for Rain in Valencia.

At the press conference Lorenzo was pitching for a further penalty for Rossi. Pedrosa was the diplomat, actually he was quite impressive. Rossi was otherwise engaged.

Lorenzo did not like some questions: there was one about his relationship with Marquez he wouldn't really answer and queried the motivation for the question. Another one about his making an overtake under a yellow flag early in the race and he declined to discuss that. He really only wanted to discuss the Marquez Rossi incident which he admitted having seen just once. There was also a question about the propriety of having the questions about Rossi in his absence which Lorenzo dismissed.

So at least one journalist noted the possibility of an overtake under yellow, I wonder if Race Direction did?

[Brett]

He didn't expect Marquez to crash, but he pushed him out on purpose. Even admitted it.

There was no kick though, his foot came off the peg when they touched.

That's my take too. MM put a couple of pretty dicey passes on Rossi, by dicey I mean close, but that is nothing Rossi hasn't done before.

Honestly, don't know what the fuck to make of all of that. I do know that Lorenzo was going on like a little spoilt princess in the conference. As for Dani Pedrosa...good, fair, balanced comments. My respect for the guy only grows and grows.

Pity for VR and MM. Neither of them really were playing smart. My two favourite riders too...although...Dani now moving up there!

What I do think is that this has not been good for the sport. Love him or hate him, Rossi is a key character for the sport and a huge ambassador for the sport and this doesn't reflect well.

Rossi V Marquez was the race within the race. Marquez could have just as easy taken Rossi out. Let Rossi start from where he qualifies in Valencia.

Great battle while it lasted. Rossi slowed ... a bit like a competitive yacht holding a line to push another off the course. I also think he kicked out a little ... possibly as the bikes may have been touching.

so if jlo wins at valencia VR must come 2nd,if Jlo comes second VR must come at least 3rd,if jlo is 3rd VR must be better than 7th,if jlo 4th VR must be beteer than 10th.If they are tied Jlo will win on countback(more wins).
So jlo must come first or second i reckon,if he is lower than that I reckon VR will be in the hunt.
