How stupid am I? My intelligence is in the top 1%. I'm overqualified for MENSA and qualify for the Top One Percent Society.
And like I said, in that span from '06-'12, they both won 2 titles each (which is the real goal of racing, right?) And again, we're comparing an aging Vale against a prime Casey here - if you want to add the first 5 years of Vale's career, he won another 5 straight titles. Stoner won 1 in his first 5 years. With that in mind, the question arises…How stupid are you actually?:eek:

On a related note, who is the better small forward, LeBron James or Larry Bird? I know…let's have 58 year old Larry Bird play against 30 year old LeBron - that will give us an accurate answer!!!:eek:

Why would a mensastrating MX racer own the shittiest dirtbike sold the last 5 years. Nobody can win on that POS
 
One mention of menstruation and up pops the Indonesian spam spruiking cytotec...strange marketing.
 
Mdub, we now have a MX thread open, please defer any lesbian jokes there.

Haha, you ruined it for me. Seriously, I'm a RC fan, but ever since you tagged him as a ....., I've never been able to get that image outta my mind.

I don't recall any regulation changes in 2006, or the championship being by a bizarre one off occurrence. Certainly there were unusual occurrences in at least 3 races; ...

My personal favorite bizarre occurrence was the Yellow smoke at Valencia. My dream is that we have a repeat this year. Lorenzo wins the title and lights the yellow smoke. Please Lord. I promise I'll be good for the rest of my life.

The Iannone's Ducati pulled on BOTH Marc's RCV and Rossi's M1. Marc went on to win the race, why is it that by extension the argument is being made that Rossi suffered some deficiency of machines? Iannone didn't beat Lorenzo. So the argument by extension is that Lorenzo's bike was superior to Rossi's? And I'm the conspiracy theorist? Haha damn.

You do realize there is a difference between "theory" and "conspiracy theory" right?

I made this argument for a better part of a year in 07. In fact im pretty sure I pointed this out in the first race of 2007, Qatar. Many erroneous conclusions are often made without understanding or accepting the counter intuition.

The speed trap times have regularly been low for the factory Yamaha. There is a designed reason for this fact. The erroneous assumption is that they lack power, and as the erroneous conclusion goes, they are deficient against rivals who have visible and documented registered top speed.

You weren't the only one making the point Jums for if you recall I asked the question of those saying 'the speed of the Ducati won X, Y and Z' as to why, if the results were based on straight line speed, why were we not racing drag bikes and living with their lack of cornering capability. From memory I am still waiting on answers and as you will see, from time to time I still dig up the 'speed' argument :)

I am not worried at about speed differentials as what one may lack in top end grunt it clearly had all over the others in cornering and so on. As they say, swings and roundabouts make the way.

I don't think it's about the record books in the short run (i.e., first Spaniard to hit 3 titles), it's more about the long run and Lorenzo's confidence. I don't think it's as much about helping Rossi win as it is about Lorenzo losing. I think it's about Marquez helping ANY rider not named Lorenzo to win the title.

I think you are right about MM looking at the long term....MM is looking ahead beyond 2015 and seeing that he will be the new GOAT going forward.....and any advantage to destroy his competitors mental strength will be take by him....and if that means beating JLo and making sure he loses as many points as possible then all the more benefit for Rossi and MM in the long run...

BTW - welcome to the forum....

Joining Mensa or the top 1 percent society is usually fairly definitive proof of both idiocy and lack of real world achievement.

Mensa must also have relaxed their standards as far as mathematics go, Valentino was in his mid 20s in 2006.

No doubt Valentino is the superior rider overall, but discounting his self chosen 2 year Ducati adventure when Stoner spent 5 of the 7 years of his premier class career either similarly on a Ducati or on a neophyte 1 rider satellite team without the benefit of competitive tyres doesn't speak of you using your great mind particularly objectively.

No, I 'm comparing how it may be remembered by Rossi fanatics if those points cost him the title. Big difference. Don't try to tell me that there weren't hordes of Italians screaming at their television screens when Iannone passed Rossi back - and far more screaming "NO!" for Rossi than "YAY!" for Iannone. And Pedrosa being out helped Lorenzo as much as it helped Rossi - doesn't Rossi have more podiums than Lorenzo this season?
Jorge is a huge whiner, and if I had to describe him in one word the past few weeks, it would be "frustrated." Even after taking 7 points back this weekend, he is probably even MORE frustrated because of the way he lost the other 5 - especially after checking out in Motegi only to be run down by Pedro and the GOAT. If you don't think losing this title will have an adverse effect on him - and think that Jorge's mindset is of no consequence to Marquez - I don't even know why I'm bothering to educate you.

I couldn't reply to Talpa at greater length earlier, but basically agree with him about luck, good or bad, this year. Bad luck would have been Nicky or Stoner losing the 2006 or 2011 titles because of being taken out through no fault of their own by riders who at least temporarily allowed ambition to out weigh talent.

If Jorge loses this year because he can't ride as well as Rossi in intermediate or wet conditions, because he can't ride the "hard" tyre as well as Valentino when conditions suit that tyre, or even because he chose the wrong helmet, his deficiency, his problem, no luck involved. Similarly if as seems less likely Lorenzo prevails by riding "his" tyre better or by out-qualifying Valentino.

I also agree with Talpa in general that the Ducati concessions are a joke in what is supposed to be the peak series for world bike racing and have distorted race results this season. However the Ducati riders are in a position to thwart both Jorge and Valentino, and indeed finished ahead of Jorge in several early season races.
