Don't ruin a great story with facts dude

Rossi "elected" to miss the post-race press conference, which was postponed until the hearing was completed. But don't let facts get in the way of guesswork.

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.

Oh and yeah, Lorenzo was a such a sad little whinger at the press conference.

So i suppose Dani is in on it too for having the temerity to beat VR into second place the other day??

The real thing which stands out to me is the rossi deliberately matched his pace to MM to prevent him cutting back in or going round the outside.Watch it,just before MM loses it he speeds up to try to go round VR.VR then gasses it up MM makes contact.I reckon VR was going to run MM onto the grass.
I used to be a VR fan.I lost ALL respect for him when he deliberately punted gibernau of the track.He was a guided missile. He hit Gibernau so hard Gibernau went off the track (where Jorge stayed on the track)Jorges line was also quite weird,its almost like he heard MM coming then realised he had left the door WIDE open.
Anyway thats my view and will be my last word on the subject.And just to remind you,Jlo passed Rossi clean as whistle under brakes,which is where Rossi is supposed to be so good.There is no doubt in my mind which guy has the outright pace!
99 for #1!

The only way there will be a Honda 1-2 will be if Lorenzo (or Rossi) has retired. I can't imagine MM will finish ahead of Lorenzo if it means means that Rossi would be world champion otherwise he risked his neck and reputation last night for nothing.

Apart from a bit of olé behind the donkey shed when they get back to Spain obviously.

Malaysia was up another notch. Marquez in Malaysia was riding at the limit. He was ragged and taking risks. Phillip island was good fair racing.

Certainly got a confirmed one on you, mate.

Move on, mate. My forecast was wide of the mark, which I subsequently acknowledged. Keep sledging me if you really feel the need, but that was yesterday...

Flash back to October 10, 2013 8:42pm
MotoGP world championship leader Marc Marquez has been handed a one-point penalty for his collision with team-mate October 10, 2013 8:42pm
The Spaniard was at the centre of controversy on his home circuit after a coming-together with Pedrosa that resulted in the latter crashing out.
Marquez went on to claim the race victory, extending his advantage over Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo at the top of the world championship standings to 39 points.
However, after a review by MotoGP Race Control ahead of this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix, Marquez has now been sanctioned.
Under MotoGP's penalty system, any rider reaching four penalty points starts the next race at the back of the grid.
Seven penalty points earns a pitlane start while a race ban is imposed for anyone who accumulates 10.
Marquez already had two penalty points for ignoring yellow flags during the warm-up at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
His Repsol Honda team were also stripped of their constructors' championship points for the race win.
"Marc has been penalised with one point on his license," confirmed Repsol Honda team principal Livio Suppo.
"That means there is no consequence for this race (in Malaysia). Basically, they said that in this particular case it was more or less okay, but they are taking Marc's whole season into consideration and he has been close to touching the rider in front of him on more than one occasion.

During a media event in Barcelona, MotoGP champion Marc Marquez expanded slightly on his carefully worded comments after clashing with Valentino Rossi on the penultimate lap in Argentina.
The incident, which occurred moments after Marquez had lost the lead to Rossi, saw the Repsol Honda star clip the Italian's rear wheel and fall, leaving Rossi to claim his second win in three events.
“After viewing the race several times, I still stand by what I said in Argentina,” the official MotoGP website quotes Marquez as saying. “These things happen in racing, and you have to learn from it, and I am still young, so I have a lot of lessons to learn.”
Regarding the incident itself, Rossi felt Marquez made a mistake, while the Spaniard's only reference to the contact immediately after the race was to say “you saw on the video what happened.”

This is the very very funny.
