I thought, said and wrote that despite being a huge fan of Andrea Dovizioso, it would have been hard for him to fight for a championship again and that 2017 was a stellar season for a really good (but not title-good) rider. I also said that I would have been very happy to be wrong.

Being a .... Sapiens (and not a Neanderthal like a few in here) I am able to understand that the fact that he's my favorite rider doesn't mean that he's the best rider on the track, nor the best in history, nor the one that should have won but was unlucky on that day :cool:

That being said, I am happy to say I was wrong. I was in Misano on sunday and could witness the immensity of his speed, as well as the stabilty and insane acceleration of both the Ducatis and how Dovi was taking advantage of this, sending his bike out of the corners like a rocket. The bike is sure helping him but the way he rode (on a track that he never really liked) hammering down fast lap after fast lap was nothing like the Dovi I've seen before the end of 2016.

This title is safely in Marc's hands already but Dovi didn't have a lucky season, he really has done the step IMHO.

The Dovi-Ducati combination simply works. Dovi was impressive at Misano and will battle for championships.

The Ducati is the best bike, and Dovi is an excellent rider. The Ducati's characteristics suit Dovi's style (hard on the brakes, then point and shoot).

I don't think Dovi would beat Mav or VR on the Yamaha, or MM on the Honda over a season, but I'm just guessing.

Absolutely faultless, dominant ride. Lorenzo crashed trying to challenge him, and MM accepted he couldn't match his pace.

I have chosen not to react to any of your pointless and annoying comments ever since I signed up on the forum a few months back and I noticed you immediately started this irreverent behaviour towards me.

But it is now time to tell you the truth, dear synn...


You were born with a cranial/rectal inversion...your head is in your ... and viceversa. This is why you talk .... all the time, it's not your fault.

Can any of Dovi's gains be attributed to Lorenzo's input on the bike? I mean, I know it was a long time coming, and Dovi doesn't seem to care what shape his tank is, but I think Lorenzo's always been pretty hot on bike development?

Seems to tie in with Yamaha's decline. Since losing Lorenzo's input, it's got less and less competitive.

Cowinkydink?

That’s very original.
Must have hurt a lot to be reminded that even with the best bike on the grid, your guy can’t win a championship.

You have not read my first message well. I understand that due to the above mentioned ...-head problem reading is hard for you so I'll copy paste the part that you need to focus on:

"Being a .... Sapiens (and not a Neanderthal like a few in here) I am able to understand that the fact that he's my favorite rider doesn't mean that he's the best rider on the track, nor the best in history, nor the one that should have won but was unlucky on that day."


Take your time.

If you meant any of that, you wouldn’t have bled so hard from your mangina at a one liner.

Nah. I am well aware of the fact that Dovi despite having really become a top rider will have a hard time clinching a title (both in the present and future) and I have no problem admitting that.


I am just really sick of you polluting this place.

You’re nowhere as sharp as you think you are.
All I have done in the past few posts is exactly what some esteemed members of this forum do, except change the name of Rossi to Dovi.

Also, when these mouthbreathers talk .... about Rossi, I just troll them to the ground, not get my panties in a twist.

The Ducati CEO(can't remember his name) has come out and said Lorenzo made a huge technical contribution. With Lorenzo departing there would be no reason for him to lie about it.

IIRC someone from Yamaha said on a motogp had said that Zarco, Rossi and Mav were running the same chassis. As Zarco is still on the 2016 version that would imply that Rossi and Mac are also running the Lorenzo developed chassis and neither has complained about the chassis this year.

I don't know, they stopped winning when Stoner left, started winning again when he came back, so I thought that was the reason but he's since said they never used his data :confused:

Hard to miss, really - I noticed the delicious irony. The most common line on this forum is "ROSSI WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER TITLE".

There's an old saying. you can take the pig out of the mud. but you can't take the mud out of the pig! Don't expect miracles from this guy. His parents failed the world by not using birth control.
