Now this is really great, comically great. Yesterday Dovi rode a superb lap, being faster than everyone else by a country mile. The only one who was remotely close to him, speed wise, was Vale, who still endend up 7 tenths (I repeat: 7 freaking tenths) behind him. And if I remember properly, Dovi during T2 or T3 had even a greater advantage. Now, if anything, after all this, what people should really discuss about is whether Vale's position on the track during Dovi's qualifying lap SLOWED Dovi or not.

BUT Rossi bashers here can't do this, cause they know they have to keep spreading the propaganda that "towing is ........" (this propaganda being the real ........) no matter what. And the real funny thing is that by doing this they endend up giving a completely undeserved amount of credit to Rossi for a lap where Dovi, and Dovi only, rode superbly. Ideology...

Mindless drivel from you as usual.

Towing is ........, and I am not a fan of it in any guise whether it's Rossi receiving the advantage, or anyone else for that matter. I'm not a fan of guys not finding the best line on their own.
 
Except no-one to whom Charlie Parker presumably refers actually said anything, it was in fact one of his fellow travelers who said he expected those he and Charlie call "Rossi Bashers" would respond in such a fashion, and he is responding to this, rather than anyone with whom they habitually disagree making any such complaint. I for one didn't make any note of a tow watching qualifying live and posted the next day that Rossi and Dovi were superior in damp conditions.

Handy to be able to confect outrage on the basis of a debate both sides of which you and those of your ilk are running.

All of this is symptomatic of people who have part of their identity wrapped in the success or lack thereof of Valentino Rossi.
 
Cinderella's carriage is fighting turning into a pumpkin for Yonny. Circuit is drying, yet there is rain starting on part of the circuit.
 
These conditions have become horrific.

Yonny into the pits to switch onto the full wets...too bad he couldn't have done that while in the lead.

Dovi's lead evaporating. Petrucci right on Rossi's ....
 
Iannone crashed yet again. Ducati made the right decision booting him.

Petrucci and Rossi in a major battle, and Redding trying to catch up to them.
 
Looks like a restart is not a good bet the way the rain is coming down, half points if they can't.
 
How convenient they red flagged the race when Rossi was about to be swamped by 3 more bikes.

Exactly what I was thinking. Red flag came right out after Redding passed him and then the next group was closing in rapidly.
