Pretty obvious eh. MM hits VR and VR tells him to fuk off. How can blind Mike webb not see that? He has used this as an example to all the loonies in the Moto3 class that he has not been able to control, very poor decision I say. I Have lost all respect for Mike Webb now, he is as out of control as MM is.

I want to punch Marc's dad in the face. So does the wife. For some reason he is really annoying, like Marcs smile.

hmmm that does look a bit condemning....

Twitter was on fire last night, it would seem that a lot of people have not been taking their medication. I was interested in the comments of riders and former riders. Only one, Foggy, thought Marquez was snow white, but then he always was a bit different. Most were symapthetic to Rossi, a smaller number were neutral.

The comments of Race Direction show that they now pretty much agree with the comments made by Rossi at the Thursday press conference, although, like us, the thought hadn't occurred to them previously. While Marquez was riding dirty, he did not actually break any rule. In rugby he would have been penalised for shepherding but GPs aren't rugby. Maybe it's time MotoGP had a rule, as Webb says this isn't the first time riders have effected the championship in support of another.

Race Direction's explanation of events is here: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/224...unishment.html

The best comment I've seen was this:

Im fining it hard to believe this race on a couple of fronts. 1) The grand master of mind games has allowed someone to fuck with his head.
2) That a crowd would BOO a rider who totally busted his ass out there to win.,
I don't give a fuck if lorenso is a petulant child hes a guy that can ride the wheels off that bike and did so. To boo him for it.--That sucks.
--Boo his comments afterwards YEP but not his ontrack performance.

Incidently what I would be focussing on is what Rossi did with his right wrist the fraction of a second before impact.
A deliberate throttle closure after he looked left would say everything that needs to be said.

I've just watched the race again and Marquez was as clean as a whistle on Rossi. A legitimate race for the last position on the podium.

Rossi was ragged and dirty in the end. Complete mental breakdown.

Spoilers?

Would it help if I said no, he didn't? and they both finished the race happily ever after

[bogan]

So, Rossi gets shitty about Marquez allegedly intentionally slowing him up, so proceeds to intentionally slow up Marquez with such magnitude that it leaves no question of 'allegedly' about it at all.

What happened before, and after, is largely beside the point.

And Lorenzo is still a whiny little bitch (they found Stoner's replacement quick didn't they). So..


Go the Bridesmaid


Fuck those slow-mo shots over the ripple strips looked cool with the reflected red/white on the rider's leathers though.

So you have watched it again and still completely missed the point? Read the comments of Race Direction. Marquez was riding to assist Lorenzo.
Unfortunately there is no rule against that. Some of the riders say that there is an unwritten rule, but Race Direction only do written.

“Despite what Marquez said we think he was deliberately trying to affect the pace of Valentino. However he didn't actually break any rules. Whatever we think about the spirit of the championship, according to the rule book he didn't make contact. His passes were clean. He rode within the rules.

RULES EXPERTS PLEASE

Rossi is going to demand a sooper dooper hot rod special motor from Yamaha, and start the race from pit lane for the penalty for the motor swap, then go and smoke them all hahahaha. I wonder if this could be done? I am not sure on the rules if they were to swap for a non spec motor as race end? any one know the facts re engine swaps

I dont know about marc in this one. Maybe a real racer on here can comment but I would have thought in this situation for 3rd where both are fast enough to compete for 2nd and first you might tussle a little to be in front if you were faster but if not you would settle behind the other rider and take the slip stream to stay with the first group. After the first few passes I thought that was what rossi was going to do (good way to preserve your tyres too guess) but Im assuming when he tried this Marc slowed his race pace down, hence Rossi's frustration.
I dont think Rossi had a mental break down, More like a fuck this and fuck you moment.
If marc hadnt tumbled I wonder if Rossi's move would have worked ?
Anyone got any stats on rider contact during races ? Im assuming Marc would win that competition.
I raged at the little twerp last year for screwing Dani's chances in the championship when he went in hot on Dani and screwed up his traction control, resulting in a very serious highside for Dani, his own team mate.

Marquez was not riding to assist Lorenzo. He was racing his own race to the best of his abilities. His passes were clean. He rode within the rules.

Everything else is just fanboi hysterics.

Clean apart from the 2 times he hit/bumped into VR- and then there was the 3rd time when VR was pushing him wide to try and make him fuk off

Can't agree with you there. MM had a huge moment and lost a lot of ground. He was doing his best to get by Rossi again and clear off, but Rossi took it dirty. Rossi should've had all points from that race taken away. A slap on the wrist sets a dangerous precident. Maybe MM should torpedo Rossi at Valencia if that's all you get for purposely taking someone out of a race?

+1. MM kept overtaking then not trying to open a gap as his pace suggested he could do. Before the race he was talking about fighting with Dani for the win (fat chance).
