2017 Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana

Semi interesting stat, Marquez has been the only rider this year to have won on both versions of the Michelin front. Only a Vinales or Pedrosa(both likely IMO if it's hot) win could change that stat.

Rossi was asked about the Rosccio Rule repeatedly at the post race con'ference at Philip Island. Rossi eliminated his teammate and Yamaha's championship contention, him being a non-contender and Vinalez at the time still being a contender, it was obviously a spectacular violation of the Rosccio Rule. I'm assuming Race Indiscretion will be taking action soon. You should have seen Marquez and Vinalez's faces as they kept hounding Rossi about it. Classic stuff.

Btw, Hack Oxley wrote an article about it. It is posted on Motodoesn'tmatter's feature guest blog.

Jum, is this it? I skipped through it really quickly. I caught discussion about 'battle scars,' etc., but I couldn't find the point-blank question being asked.

Gentz, perhaps I was too subtle, but my post was sarcasm to point out no such question was asked, no articles written, no mention of it anywhere in the media highlighting the double standard of how Rossi is treated in regards to Rossi's Rule, team orders, the notions of not battling contenders, and helping teammates, particularly keeping the championship alive for your employer.

No reporter even thought about it, much less have the balls to ask or write about it if they did. Wasn't that the great conspiracy of 2015? The notion that because Marquez raced Rossi cleanly it was a crime because he was a "contender"? Marquez could have raced anybody else this hard and it would have just been thrilling racing, or as Rossi calls it when he's on the winning end "that's racing." Yet here Rossi raced contenders hard, even thwarting his own teammate's championship, and not one single mention.

If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.

Hey Geo. I was watching channel 22 last night. The Lifetime channel. You know, the network that runs 24/7 movies about vindictive and scorned women.
I was watching a movie about the guy in Cleveland who abducted and held 3 women captive for 11 years. It made me think of you. You would find it very relateable.
Anyway Im so happy to see you posting. I got your back next time Jum tries to run you off
 
Hi I'm new here. I just want to know why Rossi can't have the points to win the championship? I only watch motogp because of him and it's just boring if he doesn't have enough points. So can someone tell me why?

Ya know, every once in a while you actually slip and say something bright or insightful. But then, sure as hell, you immediately regress into Turd Flinging Monkey mode. WTF is your problem?

That is patently untrue. You have slandered my character with your lies.
I challenge you or anyone else on here to find something I have written that is remotely bright or insightful

Dubs back
I've never seen anyone recover from a broken keyboard so quickly.
Do you have full use of your QWERTY?
I would imagine it's going to be tough making it thru the weekend without any typos.

It's the lgbtq that have gone missing. I checked the obvouis spots first like the closet. Couldn't find them. I should have know to check here first.
 
Did you check Carmelo's closet? You may find them right behind the skeletons and the Rossi shirts.
If your missing #metoo I would look in Barry's barn

Dovi has to win with or without that point.Lets say Redding let of the gas and gave up that position, Dovi would be 20 points down .If he finishes 2nd and Marquez dnf's, they tie and Marquez wins title on tie breaker . The Pedrosa point could be the important one. Speaking of Redding, did anyone notice how far he came from behind to catch Dovi and Pedrosa. He wasn't in the same picture and a few laps later he was passing them both
 
Plus of course MM only needs p10 to win
Only needs P11 to win sir;).

If he finishes 2nd and Marquez dnf's, they tie and Marquez wins title on tie breaker.
Did you guys skip math at High School?:rolleyes: MM is 21 points ahead (282 vs 261); if Dovi doesn't win, MM wins by a point even with a DNF: 21 > 20:p. I'm not a betting man, but the odds of Dovi pulling that crap are astronomically small IMO. And if it happens, guess it was meant to be.

Pov was referring to my post . If Redding had NOT passed Dovi he would only be 20 points behind.
However in that hypothetical case Dovi would take the title with 2nd and MM dnf.
Hope it rains Sunday.

the only two factors that could made the second ever ducati world championship is a blown RCV's engine, and Dovi win in Valencia.

both are very unlikely, but we shall see.
 
Everybody is tweeting the riders to pull over for the Italian...

Dorna have canceled the press conferences over the firestorm talk of team orders have created...

Paddock under strict gag orders not to talk about team orders...

Race direction has warned riders to race clean...

Year end Ducati & Honda parties have been canceled...

Honda have promised to reveal telemetry that proves Pedrosa's 5th at Sepang was not team orders...

The Italian media have been rioting at Marquez's training camp...
