first of all im glad that ppl starting to move on from sepang, not forgetting it but just moving on,
this is just My opinion of the whole championship and id be glad to hear other perspective, after all this is motogp forume.
the thing ive been hearing a lot is that this is rossie's luckiest season, he is not the fastest, he got to the 1st position by capitalizing on other riders mistakes etc...**
first thing is word FASTEST, this depends on so so many different factors that really can not be judged by the fastet FP,Q1 or Q2 or even fastest lap time on the race. imo this word has been so advertised by lorenzo that ppl start to actually believe there is such a thing as the fastest( it might have been the right word in previous years). but being fastest is not that black and white, these 4 or maybe 5 rider (still not confident enough about Iannone) can carry the same amount of pace during race and are equally fast.
now to the main point, i think this season has come to this part and to this drama, because of valentino rossi fundamental mistake during the first half of the season which was treating the FP and Qualifying session the same as the race. (dunno really but maybe it was part of his ego that told him i can catch em during the race no matter what),even thogh that tactic might have help him sometimes(Argentina comes to mind) but if you look at it, almost(dont remember each one tbh) every race that lorenzo won, rossi was not even in victory contention and mostly because of his grid position,you just cant catch someone who is as fast as you when he has 2 - 3 s advantage. otherwise the consistency of the pace during the race was USUALLY there. he came to realize how important that Q2 session is a bit too late imo, cuz as you all know, as the tournament progress, the antes and the blinds go higher, now its so much harder to win the race even if youre on pole which usually is not the case in the first half of the season.
** rossi might've capitalize on other ppl mistakes, but those mistake happened in the RACE, his biggest problem(and his team also) was that ppl took advantage of his mistakes outside the RACE. he is in this mess because of his own mistakes which is kinda odd since a lot ppl consider him to be one of the smartest riders out there.
thanks for reading.
