Yes folks, Marc Marquez,one of the most exciting riders in Moto GP,and executor of many a last lap Banzai overtaking manouvre, today appeared to 'lose' his competitive edge at the Valencia GP, and was content to follow compatriot Lorenzo and not attempt a single overtake,in his defense Marquez stated 'The tyres felt a bit squishy and Livio told me not to scratch the paintwork again'

Nope. Marc worshiped Rossi growing up. They've both discussed it. In the last 3 weeks in 2 different press events Rossi made it clear that riders who could not win the championship should not interfere with those who can. Marc was simply complying with Rossi's very reasonable demands. When the GOAT speaks, others listen.

Wow. We found ourselves a race analyst miracle boy.
GraciasMarquez? i'm guessing you're not a Rossi fan then?,don't really need to be a race analyst to see what was going on there,i love watching Marquez's overtakes,wonder why he didn't ride in his usual exciting manner in Valencia?
Serous question. Do you have the video pass? Have you watched any of the post race press where your questions were asked and answered?

I personally don't give a rats ... if Marquez could have won the race by 30 seconds. After the events of the last 3 weeks, I can't believe Rossi or his fans thought they were going to get assistance from Marquez. I find it funny that Rossi fans are basically admitting that Marquez is so much better than Rossi that he can just play with him like a little boy.
He said he gave it all but just couldn't pass him. I don't see any reason to doubt it.
But even if he did do it on purpose to let Rossi lose the championship ... can you blame him ? Put yourself in his position. There is this guy that took you out in Argentina, played mindgames with you in press conferences that even considered throwing dirt on your reputation, kicked you out of track in Sepang without apologizing and calling you a .......o, he even got 2 Italian ....... at his home to mock him with the copa di minchia (= dickcup) ... Would you want that guy to win the championship or would you try to .... him if you could ? People are emotional beings. Part of being a good rider is acknowledging that and use it in your advantage. Rossi failed big time. He showed 0 emotional intelligence.

Yes i have the video pass and yes i watched live and have seen every interview/video,i have no questions that needed answering post race,only stating that it is obvious Marquez didn't try 100% to win that race and for obvious reasons ,personally i think Rossi` was his own worst enemy opening his mouth in Sepang and he has not won the title because of his own actions ,next year i will be hoping that Pedrosa gets his first MotoGp crown as i think he is the only one to come out of recent events with any dignity
But again , and by all means correct Rossi Hating me (said as I do not wear yellow undies, pj's or clothing) but did he not do EXACTLY as your type of person (that being a Rossi fan) asked of him?
Was it not the Rossi Fan who said that you do not race to impact a championship leader or contender?
I mean, what has changed over two weeks ...................
Supposition or Suppository?
Either way, many seem to have something up the ... and it is coming out all .... like
