Sure, he was a second a lap faster, and had caught up 4 seconds (EDIT 9 seconds actually, whilst overtaking other riders the whole time, while Rossi had been in 6th position for 5 laps and in 7th for 4 laps prior to that) rather than being 4 seconds a lap faster.

A second a lap faster and catching up 9 seconds is quite a lot in motogp though, suggesting Rossi had no chance of staying in front of him, and also should have been aware from his pitboard, dash messages or whatever that MM was closing on him fairly quickly.

Does this mean Rossi should have conceded the corner to MM?. Not imo, but this is being argued by some in regard to Lorenzo who had kept Dovi and Dani behind him for a number of laps in the reverse circumstance, and the inconsistency in the attitudes of many and from RD in particular is what is being argued.

I have no interest in the consistency in the attitudes of others in the forum. My only point is that Rossi was 8/10ths slower and not 4 seconds (or painfully slow) as is being bandied about multiple times.

9 tenths in a situation where MM had caught up 9 seconds in 12 laps while constantly passing other riders with Rossi pretty much out on his own on a clear track.

Not 4 seconds a lap true as I actually agreed, but equivalent to a win by at least 25 seconds over whole race distance, an eon in motogp terms particularly for someone on a factory Yamaha who has a reputation for wet/mixed condition riding, so you don't have much to be riled about.

(EDIT MM was actually over 17 seconds ahead of Rossi at the end of lap 6 which is rather close to 3 seconds a lap, so I am afraid you are quibbling).

I'd like to go back to no electronic aids, but it won't happen, these riders would never finish a race, ie it'd be the last 3 crashers who get the trophy.
Another thing, maybe these bikes are to powerful, cut the hp output to 200 and a trained monkey could ride them, certainly be more exciting as there wouldn't be the bitching their is now.

Well the most exciting form of racing is 600cc racing.

I’ll raise your Dovi with a Pedrosa.
Pedrosa stated that he was hanging around behind Lorenzo and Dovi, waiting for them to make a mistake. This is the flying midgets MO his entire career. Too chickenshit to make a pass and wait for other riders to make a mistake. He attempts to pounce while your out of shape and desperately trying to reel it back in. If he didn’t have such pathetic race tactics and tried to actually race, he would be chasing his teammate instead of getting a tow off inferior bikes.
As we just saw, Its an eventual recipe for disaster.
The only thing heroic about Captain CTE is that he can work through the wrist pain to endorse those Repsol checks.
Are they even checks anymore, or does Honda pay him in gift cards?

I've never thought it was a case of being chickenshit at all. Nobody who goes through that much pain and suffering and multiple surgeries and rehab and races in pain can be called cowardly.

Pedrosa is a really talented racer who is limited by his small size. To really battle and slice and dice a rider has to have great control of the brakes, and Pedrosa, as is well known, can never get enough heat into the front tire, or enough weight transfer towards the front, in order to brake like Dovi or MM, so out of necessity he adapts his riding style and strategy to make use of his strengths and compensate for his lack of mass.

You can use all the meat puppet avatars in the world and it would make no difference. Your hatred and your childishness will always mark you as a sad loner with no friends. Nobody really needs to fight you. You are your own worst enemy.
 
The irony is that despite Honda perhaps devising the 800 formula with him in mind or more likely hiring him because they thought he fitted their formula, Dani was probably best on a 990.

That sounds better when you post it from the Kurryfart account.
 
Something I find funny is that a lot of people are upset at Lorenzo for defending his position or making himself hard to overtake but yet I've never seen any critisicm of Rossi when he starts running defensive line on the first lap. They're both entitled to fight for their best possible position and if that means making it hard for the guy behind you to pass then tough .....
I think it's unfair to say that Lorenzo should recognise that only Dovi has a chance to fight for the championship. Part of the reason why he has been so successful is because he has self belief and he might believe, especially after running second on what is normally considered a non Ducati track that if a few things go his way it's a possibility. It's too early for team orders and totally unfair to expect Lorenzo to give position to Dovi because Dovi might be able to fight for the championship.

I read fine. You should have said Rossi got smoked by Zarco, pal.

To have made that point would be to make a non-sequitur point. Unlike you, I don't make points which don't have a relationship with the issue at hand. Here's a tip: There's no need to put "Valentino Rossi" into every sentence, irrespective of relevance.

You are wrong about Spies. He had a factory bike, just like Marco Simoncelli had factory support.

Factory support is different to having the same bike, updates and input as the official factory riders. Miller had factory support at Honda, Petrucci had factory support last year at Ducati, Crutchlow has factory support at Honda but the spec of their bikes is not the same as the official riders. Repsol would never allow it.

Anytime you're ready to post a photo of yourself to disprove it, we'll all concede the point. You won't do it because as we all know - you're a muppet. The list of similarities are too manifold to be mere coincidence. You are NOT new to this forum. Deny it all you want.

BTW - I will be at Assen. If you don't scurry over to meet me, you're a chickenshit. :spin:
 
You can take all the pictures you want for your .... folder at Misano.
Although I doubt your hands would be able to hold a camera up after we have our little chit chat.

So when are you booking your tickets?
