Great race. Though I would've preferred MM beating VR, there is nothing to take away from the old man. Wasn't gifted anything, MM kept him honest till the end, he held his nerves and took victory.

On the handshake. It was good of Marc to approach Vale and it was good of Vale to accept. And yes, it was the 'right' moment after what had happened on friday and after they had a great, clean battle.

What I loved most about the race was the atmosphere on track. MM and VR fans (plus some JL and others) mixed together, and more or less everyone cheering together. Applause for both riders from both 'camps'. Everyone loving the sport and celebrating it. And many couples/friends/groups split evenly in VR46 and MM93 merchandise, seemingly unbothered by this bullshitting 'war' that was going on. And yes, big applause for the handshake, a great feeling of relief and hope that things might return to adult ways from now on. I was sat at the first corner, Zona F.

Great atmosphere, great visibility over more than just the corner in front of you, ...... toilets though much better than Brno, but the beer (non-alcohol only) cost 5x as much, seriously. And hardly any traffic jam after the race, took me maybe 5 mins longer to return than on friday or saturday.

Yes I agree, except who offered their hand 1st, no video that I have seen shows who offered who the hand 1st. So I'd put it down to maybe they have some respect for each other, which is the only way it should be.

BTW I have a collection of mugs in my dining room that I have collected over the last 40 years, the only one I don't have signed yet is MM's, maybe I'll get it at Silverstone.

I don't congratulate Rossi because he does not deserve it, he tried to murder the guy who extended his hand out to him today. And if you have any delusion of what could happen in an unexpected crash, look no further than this event! He has yet to apologize or express remorse. You don't care about a man's character, you overlook it for whatever delusion you have of the man.

There was a quarterback here that used to torture dogs. He was momentarily banned from the NFL, but them returned after "rehab". At least he apologized publicly, but I never cheered for him either. Nor do I recognize his "accomplishments" as legit. But by in large the world we live in overlooks it in favor of athletic prowess.

I have no reason to praise anything that 'appears' Rossi has "accomplished" on the track. He wouldn't be sitting on that M1 now if the sport sanctioned him like other sports do when you deliberately put a fellow competitor's life in danger. As I have said, a soccer player was banned 9 months for kicking another player in the back, what then should happen to a rider who deliberately crashes another out? This season is representative of Rossi's GP career, he simply doesn't compete on a level playing field, and I know there must be many intangibles that influence what you naively perceive as "results". Believe me, I know my words are wasted on your ilk. Hell, he wouldn't be sitting on that M1 right now if the League's CEO of the sport hadn't brokered the deal. So I view all of Rossi’s "results" as a product of influence doping.

Many on the other hand can look at today's "results" at face value. But for me Rossi's finishing order has no more legitimacy than his "podium" at Sepang.

I know you don't understand it or accept it, heck there were three-quarters of a million Vudu's signing a petition to get the rules changed so that you could celebrate another ........ accolade. It will be no different when Rossi "wins" again, because authentic competition doesn't matter to people like you. I see no distinction between a rider allowed to circulate after deserving a disqualification at Sepang and now circulating wilst deserving a ban.

That QB that I told you about. The league and public could have decided not to sanction the player for torturing dogs. After all, torturing dogs is not done on the field of play. But for some reason the public outcry was strong enough that the league took action. But as you and many reason, that QB could have easily continued playing by your standards. And a good argument could have been made actually. But people like me wouldn't have recognized him or praised him for any athletic ability or "accomplishments". What Rossi did was in the field of play however, and deserves to be serving a ban as we speak. Fine for you, not for me.

Makes no sense to me. All I see is a big wall of text under your name that you haven't actually written yourself. (You give the source, credits for that). I just don't get what or whose opinion quoting crash in full length might change. I'm just confused about your behavior. It's like watching someone turn 360 degrees, touch his nose and ears and singing a Spice Girls tune before walking through a door. But hey, if it makes you happy..

Decent source of riders opinions that are often the cause of endless megabytes of discussion, all rolled up into one post in a thread. You don't have to read it, just keep scrolling.

Kudos for your intention. I found the article / podium riders' opinion summary of the AI/JL takout quite interesting. MotoGP Catalunya: Iannone punished, ?should have gone for the outside? | MotoGP 0

I read your entire post with a huge smile on my face. I LOVE that Rossi has prevented you from enjoying the sport!! You hate him and YOU are the one that gets punished for it.

The fact that you and JPS always have to exaggerate the events at Sepang shows you don't really believe it was all that bad. You always have to say Rossi "punted" Marc off the track and now it's Rossi attempted to murder Marc. You can't simply state the facts that Rossi slowed and ran Marquez wide, Marquez turned into him and crashed because that doesn't sound bad enough to justify your rants/anger.

You have no voice beyond this small corner of the internet and the 2-4 members here that will share your delusions. Nobody else feels Rossi attempted to harm Marquez and that's what further pisses you off. THOUSANDS cheer while you sit and ..... on your little internet corner. You've posted enough here to write a book about hating Rossi, but NOTHING changes and nothing ever will change. His SUCCESS cuts you DEEP!!! BLEED .....!!!! BLEEEEEED!!!!
