Congrats to Marc for winning on the best package, resourced, organized, and disciplined team in MotoGP. It was from the start, his championship to lose.
Everybody saying Marc's mistakes proves he's this or that need to realize it's first a mistake that needed to be corrected, your glorifying a mistake and using convoluted stretched rationalization to conclude this proves he's supernatural. That's some fascinating logic. Ever think it's the easiest bike to save, you know, using said logic? Because .... it, anything can be reasoned. No way he makes that save on the Ducati, we can also rationalize, why not?
The 'mistake', let's actually call it for what it was, highlights what a prick Lorenzo is, but more on that later. P4, JP, Pov, Iampony, (Arrabi in the past) and anybody else who said Honda do not institute Honda Team orders, today was a great example of how you're wrong on this point, and how you guys were wrong for the MalaysianGP. Pedrosa followed team orders today which means it's likely other times the championship was on the balance, you guys are fools if you're expecting Honda to issue a press release admitting it.
Lorenzo, I hope he just .... away his career. But before I get into that, again him ignoring Ducati team orders vindicated everything I contended in the MalaysianGP thread, specifically that Ducati team orders didn’t mean ...., Dovi won the race on his own accord, and the ridiculous claims by some of you guys arguing Lorenzo pulled over and gave up a win, during a knee-down 'mistake' almost-crash moment were absolutely ....... wrong. You guys would do well to man-up and admit you were wrong.
More on Lorenzo, he clearly has ignored team orders any and 'all' times it would have figured this season, most importantly the last two GPs; however, today he impeded his teammate from pressing the issue on the championship today, something unforgivable. And before some of you compare Rossi's rule to 'team orders' get a clue, if you don't know the difference educate yourself before you contend .... you don't know anything about, or worse, not understand. In racing, "anything can happen", it's a saying repeated because it's true, today Marquez almost crashed on a pressured 'mistake', his "save" was a correction, which lucky for him didn’t end up like the other times he's crashed, but just as it was a mistake around Zarco, that mistake could have come from Dovi, hell even Pedrosa if he would have behaved like Lorenzo today. Lorenzo blocked Dovi, period. Lorenzo impeded Dovi's forward progress from advancing during stages when Dovi could have added pressure on Marquez (who isn't infallible despite many here still suggesting it, today once again proving he can make mistakes). Lorenzo eliminated much of the 'anything can happen' unpredictability of a highly pressurized human moment between Dovi and Marquez. Meanwhile, contrasted by Pedrosa provided calm to Marquez in this critical situation, knowing his teammate would not be challenging him, looking back knowing Pedrosa stood as a buffer to the two Ducatis--that's called Honda Team orders, and if anybody at this point thinks Honda doesn’t pull team orders your ability to realize when you're wrong is .....
Honda vs Ducati, clearly the Honda is thee best all around package in GP. Each of their factory riders scored multiple wins, which I should point out, this of course after Honda team orders became a moot point at Valencia. If any of you still think Dovi's personal performance on the worst of the top 3 manufacturers wasn't the difference, your entire opinion on GP bar none is suspect. It's no different than the bopper mentality, seeing Marc as Boppers see Rossi. Lorenzo ended up in the gravel today, scoring zero wins for the season on a machine that supposedly has several advantages to the Honda and Yamaha. For those of you claim it's all moot because Dovi crashed fail (predictably) to understand the dynamic that played out in this race. It was a win or bin proposition at this point for Dovi, given that the race was in the closing stage and Dovi wasn't closer to the leaders, which is something that Lorenzo impeded! Dovi crashing doesn't mean as some of you will conclude, that it doesn't matter what Lorenzo did. If you think this you're either ignorant or plain stupid, without Lorenzo impeding we don't know if Dovi would have been in a position to challenge for the win. That's the point, we don't know, you guys are concluding because Dovi crashed therefore the win was out of reach, yet wins are over a race distance and this year we've seen Dovi ease closer to the leader, calmly conserve tires then, then launch an attack for the win. You guys are saying, well he crashed so that's not a possibility, not factoring in it happened at a moment where time for progression was eliminated by Lorenzo's impedance. Your trading one hypothetical for another and concluding it impossible. Lorenzo may have cost Dovi and Ducati the championship today because he neutralized Dovi's greatest strength-- calmly and methodically advancing to the front, increasing the pressure on Marquez, and increasing the chances of the age old adage, anything can happen.
Ducati vs Yamaha, factory riders each scored wins, Lorenzo on Ducati zero, and that's even after ignoring team orders, as some of you erroneously and absurdly rationalized about the MalaysianGP.
If aliens exist in GP, certainly Dovi put in an alien performance this year, unmatched by anybody on a similar machine, not even the "alien" Lorenzo. Of course we'll never know how Marquez would have faired, or if he could have made similar correction to mistakes (euphemistically called saves) on a far more unpredictable, fickle, capricious, machine, or like winless world champion Lorenzo on the Ducati, but we can imagine. Nonetheless, Marquez won the championship for 2017, on the machine and perennial factory juggernaut he rides for in MotoGP, that's all we can expect of him, and he did a fantastic job. He is special, but human considering the context of being pushed by an inferior machine, by an "inferior" rider, a man Birdy called mocking in references to Dovi's detractors, the 'anomaly', not only battling Marquez which is hard enough, but also a bitch ass teammate. That's motorsport, drivers and riders often are given the accolades for being seemingly better on better machines, the reverse being the case for those losers on inferior machines. The illogical, ignorant, and bopperesk rationalizations over results will always be with us, hell, the world argues over far more important distinguishable ...., notwithstanding, the mismatched parity of motorsport I can accept, it's part of the competition. The minnows versus the giants, Goliath won this time but he was pushed by Ducavid Dovizioso.
Congrats to both.
If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.
