Yuengling is a US abomination... In the rest of the world Black and Tan is a cocktail of pale ale and dark...

That's why I asked, hahah, cause if it was I was gonna laugh. That's the Black and Tan I'm used to hearing. Pennsylvania man, people here love their Yuengling.

Yuengling Black and Tan is awful.
I remember helping myself to a pint of it at a bar years ago, I threw it right in the garbage after 2 sips and helped myself to something else from the tap.

I've actually never had it. I like lighter beers, I just know some people go ....... wild over Black and Tan.
The yellow one is gonna have a real hard time winning this championship now. Can't help but feel this has hit Rossi very hard. Post race body language said it all.
On a separate note, Jorge's trademarked victory smugness really does leave a lot to be desired.
He just makes it oh so hard to like him....

With Silverstone and Aragon coming up, Lorenzo should be able to grab a little cushion as he goes well there. They are using the edge treated tires for the rest of the races except PI so that favors Lorenzo as well. Anything can happen obviously, but the tracks that are left and the tires available seem to favor JlO

What is amazing, is how many incredible breweries there are in PA, NJ, and NY, yet so many muppets resort to the usual .... everywhere they go. There's a place right near me in walking distance, the tap selection is incredible. It's also helpful because when you're downing 10% IPA's you can stagger down the street on foot back home.
I like lighter beers myself. Guinness might be the only dark beer I'm okay with, and I really don't drink it other than on rare occasions. I had a wicked German smoke beer about a year or two ago, was dark, but god the flavor was amazing.

His celebration method is precisely when my "like" of him goes out the window and I'm hoping for a deranged fan to stab him with a butcher knife. It's the most godawful ....... celebration I've ever seen as it comes across as so forced. Sad that he still needs to mimic aspects of Rossi, or try to be a showman when it's something he does not do well at all.

I thought he had realized the same thing a few years ago and had put that crap in the closet. Give it up Jorge, its not you and it doesnt work. You are a fist pump and go on kind of guy, not a clown.
I was particularly irked when he decided that he is exempt from podium champagne spraying and ran off with the bottle to spray Wilco instead. Cut to a shot of Vale and Marc looking slightly bemused and as Nick Harris put it "in deep conversation". Remember Jorge, the podium celebration is for the top THREE riders...
And then there is this...

Really? Here it is an old farts drink.
Only had it because they didn't have a full six pack of Carlton so I got the pub to fill it with 2 bottles of Abbotsford.
It is of vital importance. In an ideal world I would completely agree, but don't forget these guys are paid to sell bikes, energy drinks, merchandising and a whole host of random and tenuously linked products. An unlikable sporting advocate does not sell well. You are correct, he is entitled to celebrate any way he pleases, but its in his and his sponsors interests that he celebrates in a way the viewership pleases, and he does not. Don't get me wrong, he is as much a hero as anyone else on the grid (more so even judging by his utter domination today) and I applaud his performance, but his contrived, poorly conceived and executed celebrations do nothing but devalue his accomplishments. And to compound my point, see the screengrabs below. It doesn't do Lorenzo any favours when the televised shot cuts to the other two podium attendees stood there looking on with full bottles of Freixenet.
On a separate note, that injured robot seemed to have a little more fire in his belly this weekend. It seems to me that he only really performs like a champion when things aren't going his way. When he's a happy camper he seems reluctant. When he's pissed however he finds an intensity he doesn't usually have.

Im highlighting this phrase, please the viewership. If Carmelo clown could come down from the great mighty yellow mountain I bet he would have this at 1. on the stone of righteousness. Thou shalt please the viewership $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Lorenzo imo is a smart guy. He knows he will never be loved by the masses, he was painted the villain last year. He is the antihero, and I like him for that. He mocks them both in the press conferences and in the post race celebrations, in a way that's too complicated for the 'masses' to appreciate.
I believe if we go back to the race in 2009 at Catalyna, where one Rossi had just pulled off one of the best passes in gp history, he really sticks it to Lorenzo after the race, firstly making him wait for the victory lap to finally be completed, then playing it up to the crowd, milking it for all it was worth, standing on the barriers. I was waiting for Lorenzo to respond ala Stoner and get angry. But he didn't, he just forced a smile and shook hands. Not one Rossi fan even noticed no doubt, but I think Yamaha might of. They might of noticed unlike all the other rivals, Rossi has actually never managed to bait Lorenzo into a bitter or angry retaliatory response.
So Rossi isn't winning the championship this year.
The way I see it is Ross doesn't win as much as it's the other two who lose.
...... start and no edge grip tires? Jorge's out and rossi can move from 3rd to 2nd or 1st.
New 2015 HRC frame? Both Jorge and Rossi can win since marc would crash.
Edge grip tires at the remaining races except 1 and a 2014 HRC frame? Rossi will never win another race this season. Or get 2nd. Sad but we all know it's true. I'm a huge rossi fan (named my dog Rossi) and I know his limitations.
Maybe next year will be the year.New tires and regulations and all.
