Those who doubt the Red Mamba do so at their own peril...

I take it everyone's friends watched qualifying. There doesn't seem to be as many of them asking what the result was.
Rossi..... WTF was going on there. He had 3 laps left in Q1 and decided to cruise around and wave at the crowd??
Rossi was looking for a tow from someone, and when that didn't eventuate, he was too late to do a fast lap. My how the mighty have fallen. 9 times looking for a tow in Q1. Didn't he used to have a pit board for quali informing him when someone was getting a tow from him when he went down pit straight. Man, that was a long, long time ago.

Given Rossi's displeasure with the current state of the Yamaha's, its not only him thats struggling to give 100%. The ceremonial 'donning of the new gloves' at the beginning of the FP1 session is usually accompanied by Uccio (self ordained man of the yellow cloth) crouched in genuflexion, his chosen pose of worship... It's clear from his stance that even he doesn't give a .....
I wonder whether Yamaha can come even further unstuck under Jarvis's brilliant management.
I see some chance Valentino will get so pissed off with the Yamaha bike being uncompetitive, even if he probably deserves some of the blame, that he won't want to be a Yamaha team principal (factory or otherwise) and sponsorship bringer in his retirement.
Does he have enough insight?.
I have never said it to him, but the way in my biased opinion that this became the "Rossi Haters" forum is by the previous strong preponderance of Rossi fans on here, many much more capable of sustaining an argument than he has ever shown himself to be, being proven wrong so many times, about Valentino's competitors if not so much about Valentino himself.
How many times can he make the same mistake? I'm honestly surprised that he keeps making it.

Yes its becoming a habit for him. Given his lack of pace this weekend the best thing he could do for his qualifying position was to bumble around slowly getting in the way and ....... up everyones else's attempts at a fast lap.

There's definitely been a reshuffle on Rossi's side of the garage,Galbusera seems to have taken over the ipad holding duties from Uccio and given that piss poor performance in qualifying it clearly isn't working...Given Rossi's displeasure with the current state of the Yamaha's, its not only him thats struggling to give 100%.

I already know his angle of approach. He is waiting for the race to run before posting. But most importantly, he is looking for the results of Marc not winning to comment. So he can argue that over flopsy failure to perform.
Yeah that was ....,everybody but Crutchlow was looking for a tow,Crutchlow doesn't need a tow off anyone,he just goes on ahead and crashes on his own.
