It ain't over till it's over

Speaking of which, once it was over, how come he pussied out of the press conference? If he'd come out, manned up and said it was a silly move, heat of the moment, frustration, etc, and apologised; I'd still be rooting for him next round. As it is, fuck the championship, go Danni!

He said it straight after the race to a tv camera.

Bullshit, he said he tried to slow Marquez down deliberately, and that it was unfortunate Marquez crashed. That ain't an apology, or even an acknowledgement he done any wrong.

Jerez 2013...MM punted JL right off the track. Kinda cheered at the time (I am still a big MM fan) but very similar to what VR did to MM. I think MM poked the bear and came off second best. He wanted an aggro race and got one. Vid is clear to see, he turned into Rossi. I think that Rossi got a bit hard done by in that there is blame on both sides, even if MM kept his nose clean (only just), so either both should be penalised or neither should be.

Will be screaming my lungs out even louder for Rossi at Valencia in 2 weeks. Hate the JL might win the title. Dani deserves it infinitely more IMO.

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.

I have never seen a top race like this where 2 riders are racing like there lives depend on it so early it the race. At the end for sure. But at the start where to me it looked like Rossi had the wood on Marguez for sure.
Marguez and Lorenzo are spoilt brats who show no respect.
Pedrosa shows respect. Rossi deserved respect.
Go the doctor.

Purposely running someone out into the marbles yes.

Is that dirty though? Or is it rather hard racing? MM had plenty of time to button off...or in fact slow and take the inside line out of the corner I think.

...or in fact slow and take the inside line out of the corner I think.

In terms of mind games, he'd be creaming it if he had managed to do that between rossi's head checks, and make a pass.

M-M is on record as stating that Flossi kicked his front brake lever, locking the front & causing the crash..

Vid shows this.. & the telemetry would confirm it.. Flossi's mana saved him from a black flag, & loss of race points..

If George fails to finish ( will his mill 'blow' like Ian's Ducati did, & like a factory Yamaha has done before), then its 10th Champ for the old bugger...

him saying it was unfortunate is the best you are going to get. He doesn't need to apologise Marquezes hit his bike not once but twice. the second hit on another bike resulted in him crashing the bike.
Marsqueeze according to to the race officials was lying to them about what he was trying to do.
Rossi said what he was doing immediately by running wide he never lied, never made up a story, yet Maqsqueeze according to the race officials did.

Mike webs statement.

Despite what Marquez said we think he was deliberately trying to affect the pace of Valentino.

Only a matter of time....

Hard racing is sticking to the race track and doing your best to beat the other guy mate. It was a great dice between the two up to that point. Both of them asking and giving no quarter. How it should be. But seriously? But anyway...makes no matter what we think. The experts have said it deserved the penalty, so it must've right?

[bogan]

Which is absolutely not the apology I'd like to see

Also, lmao at J.A.W. viewing the thread, whats the matter mate, cat got your tongue

[Digitdion]

Correct. Race direction have penalised Rossi for intentionally running MM out of track right? So the whole ignoring of the findings thing doesn't make sense sorry. Rossi did bad...he's been penalised. End of story really. And he's a VERY rich, lying, cheating dirty cunt that threw away the title. And will be forever remembered for doing so. A fitting end I'd say.

He did no throw away the championship. I do not have a crystal ball but with what was going on a very high chance if Marquez had not gone down it would have been Rossi or both of them. Marquez was on a mission, and it was not to win a championship.
The penalty to Rossi was fair. He is also better off points wise than he would have been if he had not the finished the race.
The officials got it right.

You mean like how Rossi punted Gibernau off at the very same corner?

You are not going to get one no mater what you want to see.
Id like to see a one on one Lorrenzo vs Rossi 1 hour race by themselves winner takes all, it an't going to happen now is it.
Maybe we should get Karl foggerty's dad to race in the next race so he can do the same like his father did to Barry Sheene in the British GP.
