I already said before Lorenzo's move to Ducati, Dorna's fairytale title will arrive one way or the other. All of Rossi rivals compete in a hostile series. "I don't care at all about the booing." This is the message by the League's CEO, the message is, he only cares about Rossi. This has far reaching implications, as this man has the power and incentive for a windfall. It's why he brokered the deal to coerce Yamaha Marketing to override the racing team's desire not to work with Rossi, because the deal has paid off massively.
Can anyone here imagine Carmelo saying of one of Rossi's grievances, I don't care at all about Rossi’s complaint? This is the man who shielded Rossi by ordering on all points gag on the media so poor Rossi could concentrate on the finale.
What amazes me most is that it happens so obviously in the open, like FIFA's corruption, so brazen, that we've become desensitized. 08, Rossi ONLY gets Bridgestone, goes on to "win" a title, nobody questions the legitimacy. Rossi is ushered by at Yamaha, becomes competitive again, hey, all the riders get an equal chance at the record books. Bridgestone is replaced by that old friend Michelin, everyone is on the same tires right?
Lorenzo will find it extremely difficult to be a contender next year. This is the effect of the hostile environment Rossi creates and is overwhelmingly supported by Dorna. Rossi has a 50/50 chance next year. One small injury or another Honda off year, it's Rossi's "title" to lose. The rigging is so obvious and brazen. Not only is Dorna in on it, but so is the chickenshit media. Keeping Rossi in his comfort zone. Meanwhile, these "journalists" rubbish Lorenzo because he wasn't funny or lighthearted enough when talking about Dorna "theatrically" assigning him a bodyguard. Or that "journalists" who asked Marc and Jorge about the extra security, but failed to ask Rossi about it who was literally sitting next to Lorenzo. These guys not only have to fight against Rossi on the track, but the entire ....... paddock, league, "journalists", spectators, and in Lorenzo's case, even his own cowardly employer.
