They say all kind of stuff just as here, opinions vary -- of course this is a journo's dream, so all papers have picked the story up.

I don't know how to link the video from the GP website. Jumkie may have some insight. Sorry. It was in Italian but the translation appeared underneath. It was a couple minutes long. Rossi was talking to the Italian press. When he initially made his accusations I didn't take it very seriously. It wasn't until I saw the Italian press commentary that I realized he was actually being serious.
It's preposterous. If Rossi was confident, I don't see him putting this out. This makes him look weak IMO. Prior to this outburst, I really thought Rossi had this in the bag. He's been here before and was clearly up to the challenge. It looks like this time he may generally feel outgunned.

Who's watching QP live? Just a few minuted till we have some answers! I think Marc, Lorenzo and Dani make up the front row. I've got Rossi qualifying on the second row which is plenty sufficient for him.

Damn, Dani just crushed this. .8 up on the previous lap record. I think Dani can probably just put the bike away now Stoner style.

Pretty clear Iannone and Rossi are working together. Anyone else see that? It must be true.

I don't think Lorenzo will make the front row. He's got one lap left. Lorenzo didn't seem to sense much urgency in that session. Was odd.

In FP3 Rossi did not manage to use the medium tire like the other riders, his time was made on the hard one.

Agreed. He just seemed to cruise around with little urgency after his first run. Crutchy makes the second row. I expect Iannone to have a good race also. We might see both Honda's on the podium no?

Jlo breathed life into Rossi. A 4th for VR might have kept Valentino in meltdown mode.

No. A race-long duel would be a much better way to quasi-decide a title.

You make it sound as if Lorenzo rode Rossi's bike to the 3rd place of the grid. C'mon, I understand you'd rather bite your tongue, but can't you say it: Rossi beat Lorenzo in quali -- that's what happened.

This may or may not happen but in either case, it will not happen in a vacuum. There will be other riders in the mix early on. I expect Lorenzo to have better early pace. I don't see Rossi getting out front early and getting away. Marc and Dani will certainly be strong in the early going. Crutch may even play a role. Then there's Iannone. If the two Yam's find themselves alone to race this out, it will prove to be highly entertaining and I'd expect some touching and controversy.

Jesus, I go to bed then 10 pages happen! I've only had time to skim through it this morning, will most likely read them in full on Monday but yeah, this forum sure is dead...
I think I posted a reference some time ago, not 100% proof but certainly indications:
