Hack MotoGP journalist David Emmett/Kropo of Motomatters discussion

Thanks, I'm aware, I was being cheeky. The way Espargaro described it in an interview was a flag to warn a slow rider that a significantly faster one is approaching. So maybe we can modify the blue flag, perhaps a blue flag with a turtle to alert the rider he's going slow, expect to be overtaken by a faster rider...


What do you think?



If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.

That’s actually funny.
I like this guy.

...or in the interest of SAFETY, we can just have a special blue flag for Valengina Rossi, in the unlikely event Marc is behind him, a flag used to alert VR that Marc is about to pass. Perhaps Marc can bring up this suggestion at the next Safety Commission.

It's all a big conspiracy.

SNS, Dorna, Yahoo, Kropotkin, Michelin, Bridgestone and Yamaha are all rigging the sport!

So you deny special concessions being made for Rossi by Dorna?

How do you explain Rossi unable to win anymore titles once a spec tire was introduced?

How do you explain penalties not ever being issued for Rossi when there were cut and dry cases of him being deserving of a penalty? Or how about the penalty points system being scrapped after the events of Sepang/2015?

Nah don't use flags

.... it, they now have an iPad or something on these things to display 'mapping 8' so why not place the onus onto the team to allow messages to be sent where a rider may be catching at a high rate of knots - ie. may be greater than .500 of a second per lap faster or even 1 full second.

And turtles aren't always slow ............... now slugs on the other hand

The difference was less than 0.9 seconds. Hardly a dangerously slow ride. And there were other overtakes where the overtaking rider was having an equal or better speed delta between 46 and 93. They didnt crash too..

At that level 0.9 seconds is an age..

So something appearing on Rossi’s dash as Marc approaches then.

"Mapping 93: kick out leg now"

Or

"Mapping 93: don't be scared"


(I'll get my coat).

I go with 'Boogie Man Approaching - be brave now'


Or alternately.

'Ghost of passes past approaching,bring back those leathers with no dry cleaning needs'

Synn already dealt with you, so I'll let you lick your wounds.

Why don't you try answering the rest of the questions?

Oh wait, your won't because you can't answer them. You're a bag of wind and a bopper at the end of the day.

Why would anyone bother to answer the questions of morons who don’t even know when they started using control tyres?

You ...... up. As always. Stop backpedaling.
 
Yeah a control tire that Rossi and Yamaha had a full year's advantage over the rest of the grid with regards to how the tire worked.

Silly boppers always forget that.

Yes, there was a quasi-control tyre in 2008. As a non-Latin scholar in my youth I was told by my father who was/is a Latin scholar that quasi means "bloody near".

I don't believe there was for 2008 any longer much in the way of impetus on Bridgestone's behalf to develop a tyre which suited Ducati's then unique requirements, and iirc Stoner was rebuffed when he requested a return to the 2007 tyre.

This isn’t even backpedaling anymore. Just plain embarrassing.

Right.

Embarrassing is you threatening forum members with meeting you at Misano for a fight that will never happen... And if for some reason it did, you'd be put in a wheelchair with little VR46 stickers plastered all over it if povol took you up on the offer.

Go find something else to do little boy. The sandbox is filled with toys that you can make digging sounds as you scoop out sand.

You seem to have extra sand in your ...... today.
Maybe it’s because there’s no way to backpedal out of your colossal ......?
 
The control tyre situation has been spoken about plenty of times preceding your arrival. JPS is well aware of when the control tyre came in. However it is an undeniable fact that when control tyres came in out went any sign of dominance from Rossi and since the control tyres his stats rival Pedrosa's, not Lorenzo, Stoner or Marquez.

He did win the 2009 title.
