That is probably the worst baiting attempt I have ever seen.
I would say “Don’t quit your day job”, but you’re in here all the time so I’m guessing that’s not really applicable.

Obfuscate as you will, Jarvis let Jorge go in the first place, and then either the Yamaha satellite team situation for 2019 was in such disarray that he couldn't sign Jorge when he was available, or compounded his error by not attempting to get him back.

As I have said, when you go to the schoolboy insults I know I am winning, and hence they abash me not but are rather a cause for satisfaction; like many keyboard warriors you also constantly make unwarranted assumptions, in your case in regard to me about my professional success and your intellect relative to mine. If you are smarter, more professionally successful and better paid than I am, good luck to you, but on general principles it is unlikely that you are, and I am content personally in regard to all 3 of those matters in any case, so your status is irrelevant to me anyway.

Mitchell breaks out the thesaurus, but still is a clueless ........ that thought until half a day ago that there is no satellite Yamaha team in 2019.

Jog on, mate.

Still feeling good about Yamaha having 4 riders who are better prospects than Jorge next year?.

Hardly a strong arguing point for you that they have replaced the most competently run satellite team on the grid with the lowliest satellite team on the grid, rather than the second lowliest, the barge formerly known as the Marc VDS team having sunk beneath them as they were attempting to board in some haste as the Tech 23 ship sailed off into the sunset. I will have to confess to a lack of interest in the whole thing, having been a fan of Tech 3 and an admirer of Herve, and if you and Lynn Jarvis are happy to have replaced Tech 3 with Karel Abraham's team good luck to both of you, not that I dismiss Karel himself as the winner of a moto 2 race, but he is on the grid at least partly because his father bought his seat.

A Petronas backed satellite team obviously could be a really good thing in the long term, but it seems likely if Jarvis had plans for that it was in a couple of years, and it would also seem that was the case for Petronas as well, given that the only Malaysian rider on the grid, who is actually looking promising, is riding for KTM next year.

Speculation and opinion is all I have the same as you and most others, although we have had posters who do have inside knowledge on some of the teams, but if you have evidence that Jarvis and Yamaha haven't badly screwed up at least in the short term feel free to produce it.

To an extent, but only after Synn has thrown rather a lot of shade himself, both at Jorge earlier this season, and at posters who don't totally share his opinion of Valentino Rossi. Synn is admittedly a genuine fan of the sport and capable of insightful and knowledgeable discussion when he is not berating and insulting other posters.

Cry some more, Mitchell.
You lost, get over it.

Your problem, my boy, is that once again you come up against hard reality, which no amount of obfuscation or employment of peurile (primary)schoolboy insults can overcome. One of the riders most derided by you and your fellow travellers continues his resurgence, and will always have infinitely more victories riding a Ducati than your idol will ever have. I seem to recall a somewhat gleeful early season assessment by you that said rider would be lucky to have a ride next year.

How do you think this became the Rossi haters forum?. This forum was once 90% Rossi worshippers like everywhere else. Those posters at least had the intellect and good grace to realise that they had been mostly totally wrong in their assessments of Rossi’s rivals, if not of Rossi himself, who of course no one can deny is a great rider. Ironically it was Rossi’s Ducati adventure that provided the evidence

And no, I am not going to re-enact the Monty Python argument sketch, nor bandy IQs or academic credentials with some nameless ..... on the internet.

The river of tears continues to flow.
And yet, you remain the moron who embarrassed himself by talking about a contract situation you had no ....... clue about.

I have to say I was really impressed with Lorenzo, to the point that I now think he's going to be a real threat for Marquez on the Honda as well. Yes, I have to revise my previous estimates.

He was able to exploit all the strong points of the Ducati, braking really strong and deep into the corners (to the point that even Dovi could not pass him on the brakes), keeping the bike leaned as little as possible, and quickly picking it up and use the acceleration fully.

I think this ability to ride point and shoot is a real upgrade to Lorenzo's skill as a rider, and it's something he has learned on the Ducati. He's now a really complete champion. Kudos to him.

Lorenzo has always had great ability on the brakes though even on the Yamaha. It just went unnoticed because he more often than not braked early and held as much corner speed as possible. But all you have to do is cast your mind back to Mugello 2016 when Lornezo outbraked Rossi who had the benefit of the tow going into turn 1.

It will be interesting next year, I still believe the Ducati is a better and easier bike to ride than the Honda though and that could cause him some problems at first while he learns to adapt and works and refining the bike to his liking.

You didn’t notice Jorge proving you and Jarvis proving you and Jarvis completely wrong yet again on the weekend?.

Mitchell is so angry, he has temporarily forgotten how to form coherent sentences.

Be careful, he might dramatically announce that he's leaving the forum again! Of course, he'll return within 5 minutes because his word means nothing.

The only threats he faces now are the Hobbits in the shire.

He's probably out looking for the Eye of Sauron so he can smite us.

You are still having difficulties with the concept of irony I fear, despite all attempts to educate you.

I rather think that between the two of us the anger management problem lies with the guy from whom any disagreement about a gp bike rider with whom you are not personally acquainted, or even those associated with him, prompts torrents of childish personal abuse.

And minor errors in the posts of others posting on an iphone in a taxi don’t negate arguments you are incapable of refuting, nor remove the gaping holes in your own arguments.

In this reality it remains the case that Yamaha are in major disarray having chosen a guy who is pushing 40 and a guy who will be lucky to win 10 races over a guy who won their last 3 titles and is closing on 50 premier class wins, and having managed to contrive Aspar rather than Tech 3 being their satellite team.
