lol it's only ........ to those that continue to subscribe to a worldview theory that when it comes down to ethical, or unethical political choices in high level sporting competition, ethical choices will always win out.
...., look at Big Mac, Barry Bonds, A-Rod, and the hundreds of others who made the ethical choice to do the right thing in MLB.
Oh wait.
So what you saying? The only reason he's won all these titles is because of Dorna favouritism?

Over two years later she's probably still ruing that decision.

Paranoia-Jum... Always intentionally obtuse and trying to pettifog me by making me point out repeatedly that you are pretending to misinterpret the intent of my post. Never said Michelin was the king of ethics. What I suggested - was that if they were more pragmatic - they might put their money behind rider who was likely to win more championships in the coming years. Considering how much time you've invested in studying the rules of debate and how smart you are - I find it ostentatiously perverse that instead of relying on your intellect... you resort to trying to baffle with .........

Read it aqain. I was saying that if were one to accept your hypothesis - then - the pragmatic thing might be for Michelin to back the rider who has the greatest likelihood of winning multiple championships in the future rather than someone whose career is nearing the downside of the curve.

Kesh baby, come on, you're not seriously going to try and dispute how much #46 means to MotoGP from a financial perspective? Rossi matters more than any other rider in history to the commercial success of MotoGP. I don't like the guy, but I wouldn't even dare underestimate just what he means for Dorna...and how far Dorna would go to keep this guy near the front of the grid.
Michelin wouldn't back the most likely rider to win in the future because Dorna has probably already had the discussion about getting Rossi to Valhalla within the next couple of years. Imagine this, Rossi is tied with Agostini for the all-times win list, you don't think there are going to be people trying to commit homicide to get through the gates to see Rossi break the record?
Whatever doubt one may have had about how strong this man's attraction is to the fans, was dispelled when I read the comments in the Casey Stoner article I posted in the other topic. It was filled with raving lunatic Rossi boppers who are still filled with hate for Casey. These are the people Dorna wants to keep happy.

Saves me typing.
But I'll add, guess who got bailed out of Ducati, and guess WHO orchestrated (putting it euphemistically ) the deal?
Kesh, u can ask Kropo if u don't know, but fair warning, it's just a conspiracy.
Anyway, Dorna have a hard on for Rossi AND Marc. So if they can manage keeping these two battling for wins, it's a win win win situation. Marc needs no help in this department. Hell he's riding a dog and still blasting through for the lead. Guess who needs just a little bit of help.

I ain't even worried. Sparrows and I shared a moment, I see wedding bells in our future.

I never said that empirical evidence doesn't point that way. I just like to be clear about what I said and what I didn't say. If you read my comments - I was merely suggesting an alternative possibility - rather than go down the road of Jum's saying that it's an iron-clad, forgone conclusion, for the sake of trying to give the dialog some legs. Again - Jum knows me from Ye Olde Days - when one of the liveliest parts of this forum were frequently in the Other Than Racing parts of the forum when we had incredibly heated discussions about politics and the general corruption by big business - in which Jum and I were always in total alignment. So naivete about big business is not something I can be charged with.

Actually I'm beginning to think it's you and Jum that need to get a room.
