MM will let Jorge pass him.
MotoGP: 2015 Round 17 - Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix (SPOILERS)
Help Support MotoGP Forum:
MM will let Jorge pass him.
Circumstances will conspire to ensure that VR still wins the title.
Gut feel, says 'circumstances' combine
That said, he will finish no lower than 7th and I expect 4th
I think so as well it's really hurt him here on the Aussie broadcast Chris Vermuelen who last week was quite friendly with Valentino really called him out on what happened. It also appears that when a championship goes down to the wire Rossi cracks under the pressure as he has done here and 2006

Race Dornaection should shut down all its feeds, pack up, and leave. There is no use for their office. The fact they let Rossi continue the race meant we were privy to a sham. And what of Marc Marquez 's points? Lost forever because Rossi lost his mind and used his machine as a deadly weapon! This wasn't even drive through penalty worthy, this was an absolute violation of the stated rules of safe competition. If Marquez was black flagged in Philip Island for deliberately subverting the rules, then this was far worse. Marc was put in eminent danger! This must be viewed as if Marc was placed in a predicament where a peg could have pierced his leg by his falling machine, or his arm caught under a moving vehicle, or god forbid, another rider crashed into him as he was in an impact zone and seriously injured him including the other rider. The worst possible scenario must be envisioned when analyzing thus act of sheer violence. As the consequences of a rider down are real and both predictable and unpredictable. That these injuries did not happen is absolutely irrelevant.

Rossi was wrong to slow down but it was Marquez who clearly see Rossi but still accel and hit Rossi's leg with his helmet. Rossi just fend him off with his leg. That was not a kick.
Clearly Marquez wanted to take Rossi out but he fell off by himself again.

Again except for Rossi saying Marquez held him up on purpose there is no evidence of that at all.

That's why I was saying I didn't think Rossi kicked Marc's bike. Rossi's leg didn't move until AFTER Marc hit it.

You don't have to keep watching MotoGP, buying their merchandise or going to their races (that includes WSBK).....and yet you choose to do so....guess who wins in the end....
Something I would like to mention as well is how much other riders might play a part in this. competitors in many sports have a history of giving out their own sentence to someone they feel has blantalty cheated and it could be a case of every rider on the grid making it as hard as possible for Rossi to pass them. Sure he will at some stage eventually because he is a great rider on a better bike than most but a few tenths here and there could make a big difference by the end of the race.

MotoFarce. If Rossi had any redeeming qualities, he would not take the field at Valencia. These points and registered podium should be stricken from his record. Unlikely he will man up, but any points he collects at Valencia are a big .... you to decency and credibility. Integrity is dead in this sport.

Take another look at that and watch Rossi's front forks. Rossi was releasing the brakes before Marc ran into him. You can clearly see Rossi's forks are compressed, then they decompress as Rossi releases the brakes and Marc runs into him. I'm not sure it was Rossi that initiated the contact. Looks like Marc may have gunned it into Rossi.

If Rossi starts at the back of grid at Valencia the 7th and especially 4th will be a difficult task to manage....Valencia is so difficult to find safe passing spots...if nothing else Rossi will get a 'kick' out of trying....
I suspect that allegiances and other 'issues' will work to ensure that he passes quite readily, plus of course he is the master of it, of starting down the grid and getting a lot of places very quick

Oh please. You could just as easily theorize VR saw MM's forward progress and released the brakes to make sure he stayed in front. Quit reaching...
Still , why does Rossi look backwards over his left shoulder when in a right turn BEFORE there is any contact?
That is the point to me that is crucial .......... his head seems to give away intent, action or thought (all IMO of course)
Dude how can you not see that at a stage where Marquex had to tip in or run of the track Rossi just picked the bike up and headed straight so he would.
