This is absolutely hypothetical, like so many things you think are factual. In this reality he crashed.

He made no excuses, and hence the only interpretation is that he crashed by pushing too hard which MM did not, unlike last season.

Right, but he was probably pushing too hard because he had to make up time because of the clutch situation.

And Marquez may have been riding slower at that stage of the race because he caught his ..... in the zipper of the leathers but didn't say anything because he did not want to sound as if he were whining or making excuses




All hypotheticals ..............
 
Funny thing is I think Marquez has a very good chance of breaking all of Rossi's records. The kid is a freak.

Totally agree,if he stays in the sport until he is the age that Rossi retires at,40?,then i think he'll be well into double figures in world titles,he's an incredible talent,i always think back to that Moto2 race when he didn't engage first gear on the grid and then got left standing by the entire field,only to start last,overtake everybody and win the race,you could see right there he was something special.

Excuse after excuse, and you have the nerve to call others whiners?....
If....but....maybe....because....perhaps...
 
No BS here, but for me the seeming maturity that Marquez has displayed this year, both on track and off is close to the story of the season so far (silly season antics aside).

Whilst judgement is reserved, if he continues with this level of maturity one may start to wonder if he has been the biggest learner out of the whole 2015/2016 debacle

Agreed, each race he has shown massive maturiy in very different scenarios.
 
Didn't Rossi admit fault with the clutch situation? Or does it have to be just a ...... clutch? Anyway regarding warm up and race pace, what seperated Marquez and everyone else including your hero was not that he could just reel off one fast lap it's that he did them time after time while others would dip into the 2.04s Marquez would string a heap of laps together come in and do it all again. That's a big difference, we will know this weekend but maybe the mental fatigue from last year has finished Rossi as a championship threat it can't be easy when you think everyone is out to get you. It would have to wear you down mentally.

That's the thing that was interesting to watch from Marquez at Argentina and COTA; his ability to churn out a faster lap than the field as soon as he needed it. We'll see if this can continue or not.

Have you downloaded the lap times from motogp.com??? Have a close look at Marc's...

Which would be hilariously ironic, since that is exactly what he was trying to do to Marquez and Lorenzo. Talk about you classic backfire.

Again, you are THEORIZING that Vale is mentally worn down. No proof of that yet.
 
wasn't expecting this type of comment:

Rossi’s pre-race press debrief was filled with questions about his teammate's move: “Difficult to say for me, but more or less the same. Different moment in terms of time because I’m older but it’s similar in terms of moment in our careers. Looks like that the Ducati in the last two years has improved a lot and is a competitive bike, it’s for sure very different to Yamaha. I know the skills of Lorenzo to ride and I think that he will be competitive with Ducati.”
Rossi weighs in on Lorenzo?s Ducati move
 
Looks like that Ducati has improved over the past two years. Without his amazing guidance. The doctor couldn't cure that one, despite the engineers giving him everything he wanted, no language barrier to hide behind either...

NO, i said it would be hilariously ironic, the key word being WOULD, as in "if that were the case"

You really do struggle with interpretation dont you?

Maybe the engineers were recent graduates.

No, you just like to dice your words like a drunken sous chef.
 
Thought it was a straight and honest answer.. No games or BS I could see..
Was it? No narrative? Honest?

Rossi: Lorenzo is going wilst younger than me, hint hint.

Rossi: Lorenzo is going to a great bike not like me when it was a piece of ...., hint hint.

Now watch this repeated by the Message Disseminators. In 3-2-1

But aren't both of the statements facts and true? He is younger and the bike is better?

The facts might work in his favor, but they are still the facts and he stated them as such.

Yeah, he is younger. But the bike better? Sort of debatable. Stoner had some wins on it. No one has won on the current Duc.

Rossi and Burges were also going to "fix" it. Definitely failed at that...


Rossi's just throwin those comments out hoping for Lorenzo to fail and then be able to say, "zee Jorgay isa jus as bad asa mia on da Ducati, and e was younger...."
