An interesting thing

Complete Bollocks..
Only time Rossi ever did anything out of the ordinary was stopping the little .... after he nearly wiped him out with a swipe across the bows.
It resulted in Rossi losing his 10th championship (in my eye)..

Take your rose colored glasses off fan boy... 40 years of denial & you have not learn a damm thing.

Are you sure you are 60 yrs old like your profile said? For a 60 yr old, you sound like a teenager fan boy in the original post and this one.

Dude - denial has no age limits. Same for cult-of-personality obsession. Just ask any one of a billion born-again loonies.

Well you're a Yank.... So it must be true !

Just remind me how many Yanks (read Wanks) are on the Moto GP grid or when a .... last won a Moto GP race ???:p

Really... lol

Here is a little exercise you can do for yourself and it will disprove your theory (I've actually done this and it all checks out).

Go to the MotoGP website, download the 'analysis by lap' race data .pdf for the 2015 Valencia race.

Lorenzo, Marquez and Pedrosa ALL lapped faster than Rossi did on every single lap of the Valencia GP.

Rossi, all credit to him did an admirable job from going from the back fo the field to 4th (whether Petrucci or others let went easy on him and let him through without too much of a fight or not), seriously. Made the hairs on my back stand up, was proper awesome and riding to save his life. Kudos.

But the actual laptime data shows that even if he had started in 4th position.... He still would have finished in 4th based on the laptimes... the only difference would have been how far he finished behind the front 3 leaders.

The only argument is 'did Marc go easy' on Lorenzo to allow him to win??? Its not something you can prove or disprove, nor against the rules. Regardless.... if the rider truly deserves to win the championship its because he is the best and strongest rider and will beat anyone who stands in his way to oppose him.

If Rossi was the fastest and best rider who deserved to win, then he would have been lapping faster than the 3 who finished before him that day. IF that was the case (it wasn't) then you could argue the start at the rear of the pack at Valencia cost him the win but clearly not the case based on laptimes that day.

Now if Marc went easy or not on Lorenzo... well thats just to bad. The strongest rider should decide the championship by winning and being the strongest.
Rossi going all area 51 (playing mind games) and putting Marc on the spot like he did in the PI press conference (and comments he made in the Italian media about Marc lying about putting Rossi posters on his wall as a child...lol) backfired.

When you are the strongest rider... then you make the calls. Either Marc or Lorenzo was stronger that day, either way you look at it Rossi wasn't the strongest and because of that he couldn't claim the title. If he was the strongest he would have wiped the floor with Lorenzo and Marc at PI, Sepang and Valencia...

You cant blame other riders for the fact you cannot beat them.

Your logic is flawed. Since Rossi started at the back of the grid, his laptimes would've been affected by all the slower riders he was stuck behind and having to safely overtake (Valencia can be difficult for overtaking). By the time he made his way up to 4th position, he would've suffered from tire degradation. His laptimes do not prove that he would not have been faster if he had a decent starting position and was with the front runners.

Just remind us all, when's the last time a Pom won a championship? :rolleyes:
 
A Pom ffs ... Cat got your tongue by any chance ???

Typical Yank, ALL mouth NO trousers !

Can't say you're a typical Brit. All the ones I've known are capable of making sensible arguments. You're just throwing around random words like someone overdosing on ketamine.

Without trying to be racist, I expect 996 is a foreigner who thinks we should be changed just because we can. I'm getting fed up with the attitudes of minorities in this country who slag off all "Britishness" in their thoughts and deeds, they are the imports not us.
 
I had an interesting thought. If Rossi’s 7 > Ago’s 8 based on strength of opposition and machinery advantages. Then Marquez’s 6 > Rossi’s 7 based on the same logic.

It’s a familiar dynamic one sees in all countries that take a lot of immigrants. People escape some third world hell and then ..... and moan that their new home isn’t sufficiently similar to the the place they left. Didn’t see so much of that back in the day. My old man fled Germany by talking his way into a job as a pastry chef on the DuPont yacht and jumped ship in New York harbor and never looked back. He was proud to be an American.

It’s not just third world immigrants. First world immigrants who moved to the USA also like to make comments like, why is this/that thing not like in their own countries? It’s no different than Americans moving to third world countries and “complain “ why the locals don’t speak English or similar stuffs.

Mate - unless you want to spend all your time here in a state of rage with steam coming out your ears, you need to take it a little easier and have some sense of humor. Lighten up. This is a pretty friendly crew.

Nice retort from a senior member :rolleyes:

Glad you like it. I can get on with anyone, but when somebody new turns up and starts flinging around how great they are, then they will get rubbed up the wrong way. Be polite, don't presume that we want a war, there's plenty here who have different opinions.
