Lorenzo: 3rd Championship Congratulations Thread!

[Gaz]

Lorenzo is the most accessible motogp rider in the paddock.
He values his fans.
He was the only rider to stay and mingle with the crowd after the FIM awards.

Thanks for that little insight Shovel, seriously.

For a guy who has copped a bit of (unnecessary) flack lately that is a really good and impressive thing to read ............

Funny how easy it is to bring schizoids out of solitary confinement to increase post counts.

The guy has tens of millions of fans, some insane but most very sane. He has this many fans for reasons other than riding. JL is an A-Hole personality, he proved it at the Sepang press conference, getting all pissed and agitated about something that he hadn't been involved in. Respect him as a rider though. Maybe if you removed your mouth away from Casey Stoner's balls for 10 seconds you will see this.

There are those who might consider that he was annoyed because VR had finished 3rd rather than 4th by illicit means, and thereby had a lead of 7 rather than 4 points leading into the last race.

huh. the only one? did ALL the other riders have a bad taste in their mouths?
I mean. for him to be the ONLY one. something must not have set right with them.

The only people with bad tastes in their mouths are Rossi and his fanboys.

Oh and of course Rossi is a saint. At least Lorenzo is honest in front of the cameras when he's pissed off and not hiding it behind a fake smile then railroading people behind their back.

Missing the point fellas.
Steve McQueen never called himself a legend.
Takes away. Like giving yourself a nickname. Doesn't work.

You mean like calling yourself "The Doctor"?

PS I still chuckle at Jum's "The Patient"

Maybe "Doctor Evil"?

Exactly, you don't see even his surname on Lorenzo's leathers, unless of course his real name is "Eurasian Bank"

God I love the irony, do you Rossi boppers even think before you post such arguments?

It's an awesome font I have to admit. I love it.

Lorenzo is a LEGEND. If you don't believe me just ask HIM. He'll tell ya.

"It can not be avoided, that there will be stages in a marriage, in which there are disagreements," admits the five-time world champion. "But I have never made my goals and my dreams a secret. I want to finish my career with Yamaha and then as long as possible to act as an ambassador for this brand. With this third MotoGP world title I became a Yamaha legend - like Agostini, Roberts, Lawson and Rainey. That was my intention. I do not know if we do not win a fourth MotoGP title. But to my will on my determination and my ambition will not be lacking. I will do everything to realize this next target. "
JL- Speedweek.
also. his mom thinks he's coooool.

Ooohhhh yah, like ...totally

okay. I can admit when i'm wrong. times change. i'm not as young as i used to be. I had always understood that you were deemed a legend by peers. but the world is changing. different attitudes.
see. i learned something. what i thought was douchy and pathetic is now widely accepted.
i stand corrected.

I think this is something that one earns over time and through the enduring nature and influence of both actions and deeds.

Is there a link to the article? Was it in English?

Bro, of course we get your point. But I say this, I'm not entirely sure that's what he said, given he probably said it in Spanish, translated to German, then from Germany to English. In the article that reported Marc being harassed by people calling him, it said from the Google translate that Rossi and Marc shook hands. So I read the original in Spanish, which said they didn't shake hands.

While saying we missed the point, the thing is you pointed this out to rubbish Lorenzo, and that is the point we called out. Ya see how that works?

I'm all for modesty bro. Its why I've always disliked Valentino's over the top look-at me-I'm-better-than-you celebrations. I'm sure you were not a fan of such "douchy and pathetic" displays

 

[Jumkie]

No, it was in German, probably translated from Spanish, to then have Google translate it in English.


Steeeeeve, and anybody else, check out this article:


http://deportes.elpais.com/deportes/2015/11/17/actualidad/1447757328_469169.html

It says with Google translate this:


"Lorenzo and Rossi were the guest stars to stand house tuning forks, which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary and celebrated the triple crown in MotoGP with something rarefied atmosphere: its pilots and looked at his face, or They shook hands. They were there to be in the picture and they did."

HOWEVER if you read it in Spanish it clearly says:

"...the riders didn't even look at eachother's face nor did they offer (stretch) out their hand."

"...sus pilotos ni se miraron a la cara, ni se estrecharon la mano."

Anyway, Cool Blue here is the original link. Its in German.

I would have thought that even back in the day it would be considered prudent to check the veracity of snippets of half arsed crap flying around the media dude. And to consider the context of the cultural context and the chain of Chinese whispers that brought it to you.

Back in the day we used to say: believe half of what your hear and none of what you read. Unless of course it supports your prejudices in which case shout it gleefully from the mountain top.

Damn...my immediate thought. Beat me to it

Personally I don't mind Valentino calling himself the doctor. (Shelving having to forgo the eight years of arduous academic rigors..sorry michaelm). Frankly it's the fashionable thing to do. A fashion that has taken hold for doctors, dentists, architects, crew chiefs, etc.

I think I'll be an astronaut today. I was gonna go with rocket scientist but let's be honest that's so passe.

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

 

[Jumkie]

I was thinking more along the lines of, since we were CALLING eachother:


There comes a time when we heed a certain CALL
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
