Lorenzo admits MM helped him in post race interview

I have just got in from pub having watched the race with mates, in my 50 years I have followed Rossi for years and to me the new world champ has won nothing but s hollow victory and as for that wee Honda rider he will never get my support and I just hope someone can repay him for what he has done. I personally will never watch MotoGP again
You came on to a GP forum to tell us you will never watch GP again? Ok, cool. How about talking about it? We still gonna do that?
 
I'll watch motogp again. I'll fly to Italy to watch next years race. After Vale leaves I won't watch anymore. If marc wasn't a .... this year I would have switched my fandom from Rossi to Marc. (I already have MM93 sneaker and lots of merch)

Jorge is a jerk. Dani is great and has earned my respect now but he's not exciting. Marc is a jerk. My only hope is maverick becomes an alien or Rins, two riders I really like.

Careful, writing in Rossi's favor here won't get you much approval. It's funny how this forum is the complete opposite of reddit's motogp sub.
That is a compliment to Powerslide. Thanx.

Btw there are plenty of VR fans here who have a healthy respect for the sport. They're not threatening to leave MotoGP. Voicing opinions goes both ways, anyone is free to do it. Perhaps you'd feel more comfortable where everybody agrees and doesn't challenge your takes?

Me too, I really wanted to like MM but not after this year. JLo became pathetic when he started trying to celebrate his wins like Rossi. And he is too boring to watch, starts in front and finishes in front, almost all his wins all like that.
MM Is fun to watch but acts like an ..... and is a cheater. I am left with Pedrosa, like him as a man but also a bit boring to watch. .

Excellent. Two less yellow wearing 'fans' to block my view at the track in years to come!
Will provide me a better view of the greatest riders pushing the limits on the best motorbikes!
 
Get over it

A ....... disgrace, Spanish national championship[/
A ....... disgrace, Spanish national championship

Rossi's been playing mind games for years. This time it back fired on him but instead of letting it go and showing any hint of acceptance or sportsmanship on he bleats to the press, doesn't show for the ceremony and his adoring fans suck it all up. It would be nice to see Bradley, Cal, Scott and Danny indulging in a British national championship in the future but I can't see that happening......those Spanish boys are too good!

Careful !
 
So what you boppers are basically saying is you dont give a .... about the sport itself, you just like backing a winner to make yourselves feel like a winner. Guess what, that is the worst kind of loser there is. Hopefully for your sake, another phenom comes along soon since you cant hitch your wagon to Marquez.

Max called it right.......Buffy too. Two less yellow flags to obscure the view. Most of the 46's I see are on cars..........do they ride bikes?

It's interesting that after Sepang many were saying that it was outrageous that Marquez was fighting for position and shouldn't have got involved in the championship yet when Rossi is behind them (and every other rider behind them has got involved by waving Rossi through) they suddenly think that Marquez should get involved.

I'm afraid the chickens came home to roost for Rossi. Like many times before, he decided to play mind games with another rider, but ridiculously chose the wrong target.

Rossi 'knows' Marc's Honda was capable of more performance! In fact had Rossi been on that RCV, he would have easily passed for the win. He was using his vast knowledge from the last time he assessed another manufacturer, which he believed could be fixed in 80 secs, as he was told.

So tell me in an impartial way, how is Lorenzo a Jerk and Rossi not?

This, THIS x 1000!!!!!!!!!!! It's the same as the "Top Gear" fallout when fans were begging to have Clarkson reinstated...

You are not my type.

I wouldn't be so sure, she'll give you a great reach around too...
 
From Yahoo:

In a bizarre twist, Lorenzo appeared to support Rossi's claim in an interview with Movistar MotoGP channel

Whilst denying that "any pact" existed between him and Marquez he intimated that his compatriots had helped him win the title by not passing him.

"They knew what I had in play," Lorenzo said.

"The fact they are Spaniards like me helped me.

"That helped me because for sure in another kind of race they would have tried to overtake which they didn't this time."

Lorenzo wins third MotoGP title as Rossi cries foul

Enough said. Too bad MM did not use this special treatment for VR in Australia and Malaysia. Clearly a 3rd place in Sepang was worth to him more than a win today.

Well done Marquenzo.

I'm impressed by Lorenzo's honesty.

Burgess made the '80 second' quote - and you're misrepresenting it. He didn't say that he could fix the Duke in 80 seconds. He was discussing the set-up woes of the 'lesser riders on the Ducati', who set up their suspension too softly, in his view.
