In recent years in his pomp he has continued to be a danger to himself, as this weekend demonstrated, but as far as the risk to other riders has been guilty of no more than good hard racing as Rossi’s fans were wont to classify similar behaviour in Rossi’s pomp. Valentino lost the 2015 title off his own bat by not being fast enough in the concluding races of the 2015 season, and even Sepang was pretty much a re-creation of Motegi 2010, and Rossi pretty much got what he deserved imo if we are discussing just deserts, particularly after calling MM out to the world as a cheat on the rather unlikely basis that he had tanked a race he actually won.

In my opinion the difference is that Marc doesn't have moments, his exciting balls out riding is the default, and while not malicious this is why I think what I said. | |

Right after he got behind MV, a text should have gone out in Spanish... 'take a breath' |

It was crazy for MM to be pushing as he was with several laps to pass MV who was focussing on getting his bike home rather than looking to dice with MM, and FQ seemed out of range even for him, but I don’t think the highside was really due to recklessness, I think he was probably caught out by his bike behaving differently on the new Michelins. He won’t have seen this in testing or qualifying, he only goes into full hyper mode when faced with a challenge in a race, like the last lap at PI 2015, and occasionally for a qualifying lap, such as at Sepang 2015. Whataboutism aside, I don’t think he rides with disregard for the safety of others anymore. | |

If you risk over the limit, your probability of accident increases proportionally! In fact, even riders had been saying MM would inflict himself sooner rather than later riding over the limit. Even Alain Prost said once: "Senna think he's immortal." What the fuck? I don't like Prost for obvious reasons, but he wasn't wishing Senna's death, obviously! He was just doing simple math! How many times MM has fallen until today? It's obvious, by simple MATH, he would wound himself heavily sooner or later. Simple as that! But by the "logic" of our colleague rat (now I get his nick) we that do math are just wishing misfortunes! I never wished for MM breaking his arm! So what difference in saying that, independent of the language being spoke? Last edited by gui22a; July 20th, 2020 at 04:56 PM. | |
