Hey my dogs are ginger, leave gingers alone :ninja:
Dog gingers are cool. Ignorant gingers human females, they're the best. If you find one you got something, female gingers are usually very well informed. Males, that's a different story.
Anyway, dogs are off limits here. You know that Daniboy.
DonFatsie, let's play a game, so far this is what I've contended on this thread:
1. The media has given disproportionate attention with a sense of grandiose exceptionalism to a rather "routine" come back in the pantheon of this sport. Debate.
2. In 2015 Rossi took issue with others racing him hard given as he reasoned, he was in title contention (even prompting riders to declare they would not move out of the way) there is now a dramatic reversal to that notion, which I call hypocritical. Debate.
3. Rossi has characteristically lost pace in the final laps of several races this year. It has been well contended that the factory chassis was a culprit to which they changed to mitigate the issue, however in the last race at Silverstone this pattern continued. This was a likely and plausible explanation for loss of pace at Aragon and not some wearing off of painkillers. Debate.
4. The injury that Rossi was carrying at Aragon diminished his performance by a very small percentage. Given the pattern of his finishing order, especially when other FrontRunners have finished, 5th was as likely without the injury. Debate.
5. (Edit) I've also said on this thread that Rossi riding in factory M1 is courtesy of negotiations that took place between the CEO of Dorna and Yamaha, which to me makes any record from that point forward illegitimate, given that most other riders are not effectively represented in this way by what amounts to be a sport agent that runs the company. Debate
