That's all from Sepang FFS.
After what Rossi said about Marquez on Thursday he got a lot less than he deserved.
I want a breakdown and explanation of sector times in Phillip Island that shows what you're claiming. How can something so fucking simple be so fucking absent?

You've been hating on Rossi non stop. Why do you want info now?
Forum whore
So I have to prove Rossi's case from the raw data?
Yeah nah.
I am therefore I do
Because he always demands data that he thinks other people should provide for him because its not actually about the data its about him being a cunt....
Forum whore
I think the person making the claims should present the data to back them up.
As for the rest of it... I'd have to give a fuck what you think.
Geriatric hoon
Well FP3 was bloody interesting, not at all what was expected. The ol' dude hasn't given it away yet.
Iannone
Rossi
Marquez
Lorenzo
Smith
Pedrosa
So starting at the back is not the best but Baz, Miller, Hayden, Bautista and others may not be too much of a problem despite the narrow track, provided nobody gets over excited and goes down taking Rossi with them. The Suzuki team may be more difficult, and Crutchlow has been vocal about his responsibility to team and sponsors. Smith and Espagero may take a while, then there's the Ducati riders, three of the four are Italian. Who knows what could happen?
Early start watching Q1 and 2 tomorrow.

What position does Rossi have to finish in to secure the championship?
Of an enviable height
Erm there is an analysis somewhere.
http://www.mcnews.com.au/valencia-mo...ical-analysis/
If Lorenzo wins the race then Rossi needs to finish second to become world champion.
If Lorenzo finishes second then Rossi needs to finish on the podium to become world champion.
If Lorenzo finishes third then Rossi needs to finish sixth or better to become world champion.
If Lorenzo finishes fourth then Rossi needs to finish ninth or better to become world champion.
If Lorenzo finishes fifth to ninth then Rossi needs to finish no more than six places further back to become world champion.
If Lorenzo finishes lower than ninth then Rossi will be world champion.

Positioning a knee upside Lorenzo's brake lever would do it
7 points ahead, so second if Lorenzo takes it, 2nd and 4th would be a tie (so countback to whatever), also 3rd and 7th, 4th and 10th, 5th and 12th etc etc.

I think IIRC that any tie will go JL's way, as they countback on wins.

Lorenzo will DNF through no fault of his own so the question becomes irrelevant.

I'm Afraid it was the other way round in Q2. Lozenge quickest and Rossi crashes
Jorge Lorenzo smashed the lap record on his way to pole ahead of Marquez and Pedrosa, as Rossi crashes and finishes Q2 in 12th.
Movistar Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo took the upper hand in the epic 2015 MotoGP™ World Championship battle against his teammate and title rival Valentino Rossi after claiming his fifth pole position of the season. The Mallorcan set the fastest ever MotoGP™ lap around the Comunitat Valenciana – Ricardo Tormo in near perfect conditions (Track temp. 30˚C), a 1’31.011. In the process he smashed Marc Marquez’s Pole Record (1’30.237) from 2013 by over two-tenths of a second. Lorenzo said afterwards it was the most important lap of his life as he aims to overturn the seven-point advantage Rossi holds in the championship standings in #TheGrandFinale on Sunday. it was his 61st career GP pole position, and his 35th in MotoGP™.
Lorenzo set his fastest time on the second of his three runs as he made use of a two-stop strategy. The Spaniard is brilliant at managing races from the front and by starting on pole he has made the task of winning the Championship that much easier, as he aims to make it four wins out of four in Spain for 2015 after winning in Jerez, Barcelona and Aragon. Although don’t write Rossi off yet.
The ‘Doctor’ (+1.460s), who has to start from the back of the grid after the CAS denied his stay of execution on his penalty from Sepang, ended the session in 12th after crashing out on his last flying lap at turn 8 but walked away unhurt. It was only Rossi’s second crash of the season, and served notice to anyone that thought the Italian would not be pushing hard in Q2.
The only man who looked like he might displace Lorenzo at the top was Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez (+0.488s). The Spaniard rode his RC213V to the absolute limit, having a number of huge moments, but even he could not deny Lorenzo in the end. Marquez was the only rider to get within half a second of Lorenzo, as he was another to utilise a two-stop strategy, recording his 16th front row start of the season in the process.
Dani Pedrosa made it two Repsol Honda’s on the front row as he qualified in third, but he was +0.505s off the pace of Lorenzo. Pedrosa holds a two-point advantage over Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team) in the battle for fourth in the standings, after winning two of the last three races. The Spaniard also has an excellent record at Valencia having won six races across all classes and should be a threat during Sunday’s race.
Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Aleix Espargaro (+0.906s) will start from the head of the front row in fourth in his best qualifying performance since Assen. The Spaniard’s feat was made even more impressive by the fact he was forced to progress through Q1 after ending practice in 11th on the combined timesheets.
LCR Honda’s Cal Crutchlow (+0.937s) qualified in fifth for the third race in a row as he was one of only five riders the break the 1’31 barrier in Q2. The Brit had been struggling with grip on Friday but improved to put in his best lap time on his final flying run to start as the leading Satellite rider.
Just 0.064s behind Crutchlow was his compatriot Bradley Smith (+1.001s) on the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 M1 in sixth. The British rider secured his first second row start since Misano as he aims to secure sixth in the standings from Ducati Team’s Andrea Dovizioso.
Iannone (+1.045) heads up the third row after he failed to improve on his best time from Practice that had seen him top the combined timesheets after FP3. Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) will start from eighth, with Dovizioso in ninth and Danilo Petrucci (Octo Pramac Racing) completing the top ten.
Maverick Vińales will start from 11th after he also made it through from Q1 alongside his teamate despite a nasty looking highside during that session, with Rossi completing the fourth row in 12th and Ducati Team wildcard Michele Pirro in 13th.
Avintia Racing’s Hector Barbera will start as the leading Satellite rider in 15th, ahead of the man he leads in the standings by five points, Forward Racing’s Loris Baz, in 16th. American Nicky Hayden qualified in 17th as the leading Open class Honda in his last MotoGP™ race before he moves to WorldSBK in 2016, after he was inducted into the MotoGP™ Hall of Fame on Friday in Valencia.
EG 0,0 Marc VDS’s Scott Redding continued his struggles from practice and could only qualify in 20th, ahead of Australian Jack Miller (LCR Honda) in 21st and Eugene Laverty (Aspar MotoGP Team) in 24th.
Anthony West (AB Motoracing) filling in for the injured Karel Abraham was in 23rd, while Alex De Angelis’ replacement Broc Parkes (E-Motion IodaRacing Team) finished the session in 26th.

Huge qualifying session. Half a fucking second to MM and his title rival on the back of a scooter. Brilliant.
Pressure can either make or break you.
Still means nothing until the race is over tomorrow. Go Lorenzo!
