Yes it is in my eyes. So what has that got to do with how many titles hes has? KS has only the one...but I admire him way more than I ever will Rossi. Wayne Rainey 3, Lawson, Doohan, Stoner, Spencer...all far better champions than Rossi will ever be in my eyes. Because, as hard as they raced, they raced clean.
Do I know Rossi personally? WTF has that got to do with anything?
Yes, yes I have. I've also raced against people that whilst incredibly competitive, are also incredibly clean.
As far as being on the receiving end? Here's my latest injury, it'll require quite major surgery. The humerus has smashed part of the scapular off on it's way through whilst being dislocated in a nasty fashion. It was done by a fellow competitor that thought he was going for a world title at a sedate VMX meeting. Am I bitter and twisted about it? Not at all. These things happen even though they shouldn't. I also nearly lost my right foot racing at Wanganui in 2005, due to another riders silly move.
So I do know a bit about racing and how things go. I accept these things as being part of it. But I'd never accept shit like Rossi's move. If any cunt did that to me, he'd eat hay BIG time next time we met. And do we want stock car style racing in Moto GP? I doubt it.

Jeez Pete that looks like it smarts.
And from Valencia: The pre-race press conference has been cancelled. All MotoGP riders and team management have been summoned to a meeting with the Permanent Bureau to discuss the events of Sepang. The Permanent Bureau consists of the management of the FIM and of Dorna.

What part of some little faggot coming up & leaning on another competitor is lost on people?
If you come close enough for the swing of someone's knee to put you down you were probably being a tosser.
Only because he shares your point of view.
Here's another...

So the telemetry shows the brake lever was applied.
There's a saying that goes something like this " Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence"
Rossi's made the claims and delivered no evidence whatsoever.
You can see in the Thursday press conference that Marquez and Lorenzo have absolutely no clue what he's talking about. Rossi on the other hand is so full of shit nobody can even tell if he's being serious. The man is a liar and a cheat.
I haven't read the soup thing but it appears to quote an interview with Nakamoto san which I had already seen. While undoubtedly very knowledgeable Mr Nakamoto is an employee of HRC and thus hardly qualifies as a disinterested party. Like myself f'instance.
If Rossi's lower appendages made contact with the brake lever, those protectors need an urgent re-design.

Thanks for posting that Pete. Nakamoto's interview was as expected...extremely well thought out and worded, completely un-biased and shows why he is where he is. Interesting the comment on the front brake data though. I personally can't see how Marc could have backed out of the situation when there was as little room in it at the last split seconds. It was what appeared to be a genuine battle up to that point, but everyone's opinions are only that at the end of the day.
I'm a racer too and as aggressive or more than most (Bob knows that as he's swung for me on sidecars numerous times). I was hoping for a Valentino 10th Championship and traditionally I am a Honda fan (insert gay jokes here
) and miracles can and do happen.
