Hey troll#1. If you were paying attention. The high side you spoke of has to do with a Ducati mechanical/technical failure/feature. You know that remote button GG has to make sure Lorenzo did not win anymore races.......

Barry, you are correct. I haven't been on this forum for a whie. I just watch the races, no forums, no fans, no journalists. I just watch the races. I have no clue how anybody could drink the Dovi Kool Aid. He's not an alien, never was, never will be. He could be one of the best tier 2 riders ever but he's never going to challenge Marc unless Marc sinks himself. This is Rossi/Max at best. The guy who is going to beat Marc on the regular isn't even in MotoGP yet.

WTF does this even mean?
What "triggered" the accident was Jlo riding faster than the situation on the track would allow. A racing incident undoubtably, and one which would not have happened if Jlo's bike wasn't involved.

I've yet to see anyone suggest that Dovi is an "alien". Don't know about you, but having someone who regularly dices it out Marquez is of great entertainment value. Remember the first year Marquez came into the premier class? Boring as .... watching him easily win everything. B-O-R-I-N-G.
Rossi/Biaggi made for great viewing. Nothing wrong with that. Being "the best of the rest" is no mean feat.

The team should do more for him, maybe they should get him to use the Map 8 button more often. It made Lorenzo's Ducati go a bit quicker every time they had him use it.
Maverick was going to run wide as well because either he was too hot or because Dovi parked it. Dovi is entitled to park it if he wants to but I think there’s a chance that corner is gone next year. With Rossi campaigning hard against and then vindicated changes could happen. Which would be great the old corner was much better.
Doesn’t change it being Lorenzo’s fault though.
The fact is, that corner is absolutely an accident black spot. Yes we can blame the riders and quite rightly too, but circuit design has to be held to account to some extent. It's like a funnel/bottleneck the riders enter at 180mph, where braking only 50cm too late results in a near disaster when riding alone on a clear track. Now put another 3 riders into the equation and it isn't hard to see how the corner is a disaster waiting to happen. The crash statistics across all 3 classes over the weekend are pretty shocking.
