Same goes for his jump to Ducati; if he were the superior rider, he'd have stayed at Yamaha and beat Lorenzo on the M1. Last edited by Keshav; October 7th, 2019 at 08:40 AM. | |

Many of the greats, as I've witnessed, especially the ones with massive statistics will invariably find an advantage where they can. Being a purist at heart, I'd prefer if battles were fought on track but unfortunately, the mind games will forever exist in sport and also, the machinery isn't the same. Teams and riders will try at all times to get on the best machinery and will do whatever it takes to get their bikes legally quicker. MM is the real deal. He's a true legend in the real sense of the word. Pure unadulterated talent has everything to do with his achievements to date. He's very hard on track but usually fair. Rossi can't stand this.

I was a competitor for many years, although in an entirely different sphere. Completely different. I can hand on heart say I never felt contempt for my competitors and knew that when I was beaten, I had to go home, do some work, get better. There's some saying about how you don't make your light shine brighter by dimming others. I'm not eloquent enough to repeat it or bright enough to remember it, but you get the gist. |

MM’s reaction was instructive, iirc he said that he doubted they would do the same for him, but was mostly amused because he thought the tire was likely to suit him as well. He did get his share of golden boy treatment prior to 2015 of course. | |

I only know about deflate gate because it was the subject of seemingly hundreds of late night comedy monologues over the course of several weeks.

That two large Egos on track BS never applied before in the way Mustard man has made thigs. He has used the media and fans to attack other riders and dent their confidence. Thats not even an ego thing but a cunt move. Typical jealous gay guy/girlfriend behavior. |
