Telling him he's clueless, is like telling a donkey his ears are long.
Ears? Duh... I don't see no ears.

Dovi's race craft has been sport on, the team and his crew know how to set the bike up come race day, and Dovi knows when to push and when not to push. He has also become more aggressive in the last season and a half and thats something you need if you want to win races in MotoGP.

Anything's possible. It's too easy however to assume his gains are due to mechanical factors, rather than Dovi fine-tuning his riding style as a result of insights resulting from long experience with bike and team, all of which were gifted to Lorenzo who's been painfully slow to exploit same.

Oh, I think everyone including you perceived perfectly what a chickenshit you are.
Raisins still firmly stored in Kyra’s purse I presume?

Yes, because nothing says "courage" like an internet skeeve creepily skulking around social media sites to glean personal info to give the illusion of threatening someone's child or spouse from the safety of your mommy's basement thousands of miles away on another continent. Yeah, that's some really manly stuff you got going there.

LOL.
Synnism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Apologies to the original author.
I believe he mentioned to all comers that he'd be at Misano - no-one took him up on it.
He is unlikely to win another title, but when Synn says the same about Dovi, everyone goes berserk. That's the double standard he's exposing, and rather clearly, I would add.
I don’t have the answer to the question myself, but how exactly can “long experience with bike and team” be gifted to any rider?
I’d say on the contrary that Lorenzo’s learning curve to consistently challenge on the Duc has been much shorter and sharper than Dovi’s, although he obviously is not going to deliver a championship on the bike in the two years allotted to him.

You honestly believe anyone would spend good money just to meet this putz?

No-one is likely to win a title for a while barring injury to MM, as it seems unlikely he will repeat 2015 and start throwing his bike down the road every second race again any time soon.
I would say Dovi is rather more chance than Rossi however, he is 7 years younger, riding at his peak and has a very good bike, and on general principles would seem likely to have a better bike next year when Rossi will be 40 given the German money and Gigi, unless Jorge’s input really has been crucial. Unless Petrucci does a Stoner he will be a number 1 rider with Ducati’s entire focus as well. Rossi IMO needs things to go wrong for too many other riders to win the title at this stage in his career with Yamaha operating as they currently operate, particularly given Furusawa is not going to unretire.
Most people on here are prepared to debate matters motogp and the virtues of their favourite riders without immediately resorting to peurile pre-kindergarten level attempted personal attacks; you and i disagree about many things for instance but mostly manage to have rational and reasonably cordial discussions about those things. I have made clear my reasons for disliking Rossi himself, rather than just an element among his fanbase, since Sepang 2015 which are nothing to do with the quality of riding, he was obviously an all time great of the sport at his peak and is still remarkably good at the age of rising 40. Even the most casual observer of his career surely can't contend that unfair lack of recognition, by fans, the media, officialdom or even the owners of the sport has been at all a defining feature of that career, while Rossi's fans with what I now believe to be his full collusion and indeed probably orchestrated by him have attempted to make the lives of pretty much all of his significant competitors miserable, successfully in some cases; no-one deserves to be vilified for being good at their job, which in this context involves winning world titles or going as close as possible to doing so.

Yes no one spending $1000s of dollars to go and fight Synn at a place he was already going means they're chicken ..... I would think you would be smarter than that but I guess not, your defence for Synn has become as borderline psychotic as his defence of Rossi. I also offered him to come to the Island where I was planning to be but he refused. Is he a chickenshit too?

I disagree. The Dovi Yamaha package also worked well. He dominated Crutchlow when they were teammates. I don't think Dovi would have any problem beating Valentino or even Maverick on the Yamaha.

The end results of all that hard work, (not to mention Dovi's settings) was Lorenzo jumping onto a much refined bike that most riders, given the choice, prefer over the offering from HRC. Lorenzo's "learning curve" can hardly be described as sharp. The first season it was a flat-line. That Dovi may not win a championship is a testament to MM's youth and natural talent, and not any defficiency on Dovi's part.
