Exactly. The boppers are so blind they believe the Michelin propaganda the new 070 tire is for Honda.

But note the hard front tire Marquez prefers has actually been withdraw by Michelin this year. That's right folks, if you pay any attention to what's going on Marquez and Crutchlow, normally hard front runners every round, are now 'stuck' on the medium. Marquez actually explained why, he said his preferred hard tire is now for some strange Rossi reason actually softer than the medium and virtually unusable for him.

Combine that with the removal of Vinales preferred tire spec and what do you get? A massive change in the dynamic of a championship which was shaping up to be a battle between Marquez and Vinales with a sad 1000 pound gorilla reduced to bystander to what we had last week, an absolute unbridled celebration that finally the long wait is over, the most popular rider ever has won another race.

If true, I find myself becoming more disillusioned by the sport every race. I like an even playing field whether it makes the title race close or not, I don't like manipulation that gives the illusion of an even playing field in the hope of a close title race.

It's ........ and riders who are deserving to have a fair shot at making their own great legacy are being hamstrung to stop them from doing so all seemingly to keep an old racer competitive and his legacy intact.

One of the troubles for Dorna/Rossi conspirators, if the conspiracy is really true, is that Marc is just too damn good. He adapts. And he slides the front, crashes and saves the crash with his elbow, for Doohan's Godmother's sake! What the hell? He is like the terminator. 200 mph crash and he still comes back for a podium. Give him crappy tires and he will still find a way to be at the front of the grid.

Marquez has the same problem as Stoner. Many didn't believe Casey was that good, until the Rossi failure at Ducati. That's when Rossi admitted to Stoner's skill, anyway. MM appears to be just a tad better than anyone else, and that can't be overcome with simple rules changes. It takes drastic measures to kill him off. You can't make the tires worse for Marc at this point without hurting Rossi. So that game is over, in my opinion.

He isn't going to have any real legacy as there will be so many asterisks next to his name.

It's been said many times, but wouldn't it be great to just have each rider on their preferred tire option and let the best man win. Ah but the problem would be who's the best man? Consider having Marquez on his preferred hard ala 2014, vs Lorenzo on his preferred soft ala 2012. My wet dream, throw in Stoner on the Ducati with something like his 2007 front. .... that would be epic to me, but I'm the minority. The world wants Rossi, Carmelo wants Rossi, Michelin gives us Rossi.

I've been of the increasing opinion of the last 18 months that Marc is literally the proverbial spanner in gumming up the effort to deliver the 8th premier class/10th world championship for VR. It's really a shame HRC doesn't have a better chassis as if they had a bike that wasn't as reliant as the RCV is to make up time in braking zones only, MM could easily walk away with the title by just having a more balanced machine. It doesn't need to be a drastic improvement for MM as he just needs a more refined weapon. He can do the rest himself.

My one other conspiracy theory is that Marc is sandbagging and only "showing up" at the HRC circuits right now. He's just hanging around near the top of the points table, and will start running off the results soon to try and catch Michelin/Dorna off guard. Argentina and Le Mans were obviously costly to his ability to have a couple of races to play with, so he has less margin for error. The biggest difference between him and Dovi is the ability to win or be in the running when you need to be. I know Dub felt Dovi is trying to take MM's approach from 2016 in 2017, which I do agree with. But the Ducati being what it is, they walked into the two race wins. After all Ducati was not expecting to win outright at Mugello and Catalunya. HRC/Marc know which circuits they can put together a package to win the race outright....something Ducati can't do at this time the way HRC and Yamaha can. Spec tires do influence this quite a bit, but this is where the Yamaha/HRC advantage is nearly insurmountable in GP. No matter how ...... up the spec tire situation becomes, they can usually find something that will allow their riders to be competitive or near it in the grands prix.
 
Yesterday, it was amusing when the director was trying to find yellow to show in the audience because the yellow was just rain slickers. Today, it is annoying. Bless the Germans for not wearing a ton-of-VR-goods. I may buy another BMW.

You ....... and your conspiracy theories about Rossi. You're probably also flat earth believers and believe NASA is hiding child slaves on Mars.

So you have posted a picture of yourself. The hat quite becomes you.

How is the Vinales mentally breaking Marquez thing going btw?

Are you attempting to have a discussion based on reality or fiction like your fellow clan of idiots have been doing for the last few pages?

Funny you should mention reality based discussions as you openly denied climate change is an issue.

You know the saying about glass houses and all that.

Every post from you is devoid of intellectual substance. A lofty goal of yours no doubt and something to be proud of.

I think you are confused, as is often the case.

Where GP bike racing is concerned, the involved clan of idiots is a yellow clan of idiots rather than a fellow clan of idiots.
 
The breathy exhortations from the commentators who are trying to manufacture drama aside, Folger had no real chance. You could see he was trying to run at an unsustainable pace on those tires.

Hard to believe one poster here actually claimed MM was mentally weak. Laughable.

MM took advantage of his opportunity and leaves the Sachsenring with the points lead in the title chase. We'll see what happens in the second half of the season. Going to have a few circuits upcoming that are better suited to the Yamaha and Ducati so his points lead doesn't mean much right now.

Why are you responding to me? Did you send Duc a text to put him on standby in case your feelings get hurt again. You little ........ sorry excuse for a man... you spend hours on here talking about men living a better life than you... hoping to bring them down to your level.
