How will Rossi handle Valencia race ?

nick666 · Oct 26, 2015

So lets say he passes 10 riders in the first corners , and ends up on 6th at the end of the race. If Lorenzo's 3rd will Rossi win the title ?

Or is the only chance for Rossi a mistake by Lorenzo ?

Hmm. I want to see all these fuckers turn up whining and somking IF the likes of Iannone lets VR through for that vital point.
Somehow, I doubt it.

I think Rossi should not race....

My biggest fear is he'll ride like a mad man to make his way to the front, I remember a few years back a famous car racer started at the back with a big financial carrot on offer if he won, but he didn't win, while trying to fight his way through the field he got caught up in a horrendous accident and died.

That would be beautiful. He should quit MotoGP and start a K1 figthting career.

Even if he makes it even remotely close to the top riders he would have to do it in the first 2 laps. If not he will have to push too hard resulting in his tires being cooked. He wont be able to keep up at that point.

A factory M1 or RCV can make it to at least 10th without having to cook its tires.

True, But your talking the difference between Open class riders and the likes of Dove, Cal, Smith, Alex and Pol, Vinales, Andrea to pass once you get to the top 10. It will take more work to pass them resulting in more worn out tires and he will have to make up time because they will be more difficult to pass.

All in all its going to take a lot of help and someone helping VR by slowing down JL greatly.

I agree with you 100%. 10th position & up is when Vale will have to work harder. Other riders will also play a huge role for Lorenzo. If Dani, MM, and Iannone have a blistering pace... Lorenzo could be 4th for a while. Rossi only needs to make it to 9th in that scenario. Lorenzo could find himself in a situation where he needs to fight with Iannone and the Repsols for a better position and that will make him more vulnerable.

I have no doubt that Rossi will make it up to at least 6th by the end of the race depending on Andreas pace.

A lot depends on how easily riders let Rossi pass in conjunction with Dani, MM and whoever else is at the top. I just don't see MM having any urge to be ahead of JL... which worries me the most as a Rossi fan. I see JL placing 2nd.. I hope I'm wrong... but I don't think I will be....

Which all blow big balls seeing that I was really excited about this championship coming down to the last race of the season.

Right, but Dani has been on form lately so maybe MM will focus on racing Dani and they'll occupy first and second.

Only thing I see different is JL having to fight with Iannone. I can't recall more than 2 races, (if that) Iannone started in front of George and even then, can't recall much of a fight. I might be forgetting an early race or something.

The Hondas will be the determining factor. Will he need to pass one or both for the ship?? That will be a tall, tall MF'ing order.

I don't see that happening especially with JL strong qualifying and his good starts off the line. We will have to see in 2 weeks..... I see it being a very eventful weekend leading up to a boring race that sees JL winning the championship. Hope I'm wrong though....

I think I have a track day out in Vegas that weekend..... At least it will be fun watching the race with all the track guys that weekend.

The riders in front of Vale will open up like the parting of the red sea for him. He's on a far superior bike and none of them have the balls or political weight in the paddock to fight him or dare to be responsible for any form of delay. He'll make 10 places in the first lap and be up to 5th or 6th by the end of the second lap.

Then all the media and commentators will start the usual sycophancy about how amazing it is that he managed to fight his way through the crowd, they'll forget the reason why he was at the back and the whole world will be willing him to win against the nasty, arrogant, spoilt, whining, arrogant (just some of the descriptors that I've heard) Lorenzo.

They might even start talking about a film of his life before the chequered flag.

If that is he case, it might be a rough day for George.

He should get his normal jump if he can qualify on the front row, but not sure he will be able to hold off both Hondas. Not at that track.

Either way, I think it will be a interesting race.

If Rossi pulls it off, get ready for the next Ron Howard movie. Staring James Franco as Rossi...

It will be a rough day for him. Whatever the outcome, he'll be painted as the villain whilst Rossi will be 'Rocky Rossi' heroically portrayed as the underdog battling his way through the field of aggressors when in reality they'll be tripping over themselves to get out of his way.

I can already hear the endless apologists "What Rossi did was wrong but his performance in coming through the field cements him as the GOAT". It will be galling and sickening to listen to.

If Rossi doesn't win, then it will be a Oliver Stone movie staring Robert Patterson.
