Michelin Accomplished.
This championship is as legit as WWF and most of us still taking stock in the results. Fascinating. Viñalez, the championship leader was eliminated by a tire Rossie gerrymandering, and we're all like, great ride by Rossi? But but, dry vote, democracy.
Any result from the moment the CEO acted as Rossi's sport agent in the closed kingdom of Dorna took out any legitimacy of future results, but let's shelf that? Why exactly? It's MotoWWF every race, where the game is: beat Rossi against every possible advantage. It's really amazing Rossi doesn’t win every race.
Look again at the coverage, look closely to the screen messages, the audio, the glamour camera shots. The entire thing is telling you one thing. And it's only become increasingly sophisticated over the last 10-15 years. Why would this race or last race be any different?
Rossi's participation in this pseudo contest is artificial. It's contrived for the consumption of those not aware or caring about how results are manufactured. This is the sport that petitioned to nullify rules in favor of Rossi to put him in the similar situation now, that a slight attrition would propel him as a title winner.
When we see Rossi being competitive, does the thought cross people's mind (the few that are aware of it) what might tires (and every tangible and intangible advantage) designed for him do to make him competitive against a field that must acquiesce? Or are we just caught up in the moment, look, it's so exciting, it's like a motorcycle foot race?
It's a ........ contest folks, because the organizers have made it a game of Rossi+advantages vs everybody. Today it cheated Petrux from going into the record books as a GP winner. Today it cheated Viñalez from retaining the points lead. Today it artificially put Rossi into the records as a race winner. It's a manipulate record.
