JLo Didn't slag off Marquez and his family in the Thursday press conference. Rossi goaded Marquez and he didn't expect him to be pissed and fight back?
That might account for this race but not Australia.
Seems like maybe Rossi had it right? Maybe he knows something we don't?
I did expect him to fight back. And when you're against the best rider in the world and he's willing to throw it in on you like that over and over and over. Just for ..... and giggles? Ya. Like Vale said. Valencia will be tougher.
As Marquez said, all Valentino needs to do is beat Jorge.
If his points position is such that other riders who are racing him for race position can effect his championship, tough, his problem not theirs, just as it is Jorge's problem and nobody else's that he is behind in the championship because Valentino was better than him in the wet races.
Have you considered the possibility that MM and Rossi had pretty much the same pace in this race? Dani was obviously having one of his untouchable weekends, and Jorge may have had faster race pace than both of them as well.
