MotoGP: 2015 round 18 - Valencia (SPOILERS)

ugh, nothing good can comes out of that interview, whatever you might feel, a sane person would not and should not feed the press like that.

i agree that from outsider point of view it did look a little fked up as if MM was escorting lorenzo,but thats just what you see and how you interpret the situation which is not completely reliable.

to those who keep saying "NO PASS WAS ATTEMPTED" or,...

PLEASE bear in mind that usually when MM sees someone is as fast as him and he is in 2nd, he wait his moment till the the very last few laps,at least this was his tactic in the second half of this season (ind, assen, PI comes to mind).

i seriously think that he wanted to catch lorenzo in the last 2 or 3 laps, but he just went a little crazy when dani pass him,(on the contrary i do believe he preferred lorenzo to win the championship, so the best case scenario for him would be 1.MM 2.lorenzo but he just lost his time with that fight with dani)

Amazing race. My heart was pumping out of my chest the whole time.
Lorenzo is like a damn robot, his consistency is just insane. And Rossi made it up further than I had expected (I was betting 6th). Best moments were Petrucci basically pulling over for Rossi, then Marquez protecting Lorenzo from Pedrosa at the end! IM KIDDING IM KIDDING.Something for both sides of the conspiracy theorists to debate...it will be an eventful month.

All in all, the most exciting season we've had in long time, despite all the nonsense!

Congrats to Lorenzo!

(Here's to hoping Ducati can find some magic next year!)

I like that Dani came on strong at the end of the race, but the way he backed off after MM fought back makes me doubt Dani's title chances in 2016. Dani just doesn't have enough of a fighting spirit. He will never be the #1 Repsol rider if he lets MM bully him.

Serious ? You figured that out just today ? Dani Pedrosa will never be able to compete with Marquez. Dude, you still didn't realize that Marquez is way more talented than Dani ?

Do you think Rossi will help Petrucci, Ianone or Dovisioso next year for making him pass so easily this race ?

Lorenzo is the most succesful Spanish driver of all times. You really think he will lack Spanish sponsors ?

Yes, I do think Rossi will help the Ducati riders if he can whenever he can....
And you are avoiding the question... Do you think JLo will well MM beat Dani?

Spain isnt the world as you said about Italy, but i am sure there will be a few sponsor that might give JLo some money for a sticker or two....
I wonder what Fiat (the worlds largest car maker and sponsor of Yamaha factory team) will do...

Dani has plenty of talent and speed. I wouldn't go so far to say MM has way more talent than Dani... MM's style involves taking more risks and at times that has paid off for him.

...

what i would like to see:

marquez, lorenzo and rossi, on motorbikes without tractioncontrol, wheely-control and other electronic ...., and heavy rain...may the best rider win...

considering that, in a real race, lorenzo would have finished 3rd...congrats valentino rossi for not giving up!

the only rider in the top three with honour was pedrosa, respect to him, too!

but i think, you could see it on the faces of lorenzo and marquez after the race...real joy looks different. it looked more like an ashamed and forced smile, both of them.
 
When Rossi stormed away from the back, I thought only rider who put real fight against him was A. Esperogaro. Others simply gave a way to him like they had back mirror. Petrucci was the worst.

He doesn't have to help anyone. He will win for himself. If he can't make it, and MM/Dani has to fight Rossi for the title, he will probably give them the same help as Petrucci or Dovisioso gave Rossi today.

I never said Spain was the world. But you make it again seem like only Italian sponsors matter. If FIAT isn't happy of Lorenzo because they want an Italian to win, well then let Lorenzo go. Nobody needs Yamaha or FIAT. Maybe Movistar drops Yamaha too if they drop Lorenzo. Maybe Lorenzo gets support from other Spanish sponsors like Banco Santander. You never know. But again, the world is much bigger than Italy. But good that you state in this way. The pressure of Italian sponsors is the reason why Rossi didn't get the penalty he deserved.

You know what is really incredible, Rossi, who did what he did in Sepang, has managed to convince the world he did nothing wrong.

And people here have bought right into Saint Valentino's narrative of, "Poor old me. If only I was allowed to compete fairly."

You know what Rossi really wanted?

He wanted him and Lorenzo to be the only riders on the grid because he knew he would never beat the factory Honda's at Valencia.

He didn't have the ....... pace to keep up with anyone.

It's been this way the last few rounds; he no longer has the pace to keep up with them and pass them.

But instead of admitting this, it's all about blaming everyone else for the fact that he doesn't have the pace anymore. And he has gotten the majority of the public to buy into his 'woe is me' .........

It's put up or shut up. What I would tell him directly to his face, is, try getting the actual pace so you can go faster than every one else if you want win. Being 4th quickest when it matters most doesn't get you wins or titles.

where is your PROOF for any of this?
for example- "He didn't have the ....... pace to keep up with anyone."

you're mister all about PROOF
what are you talking about? He came in 4th. He passed a lot of riders.

Please give me PROOF of these statements.

How long has MM been known for throwing his bike inside of another rider from impossible distances away? And today not even one go at Jlo but immediately does to Pedro? I think the King of Spain had a talk to him, the Spanish have a history of being cheating thieves for centuries you know. :D

You can't blame them. If you not let Rossi win, you have the complete Italian MotoGP maffia against you. There definitely is a maffia structure helping Rossi with Italian sponsors and cars pushing for Rossi to win.

Yeah, even without Rossi's comments about MM toying with him at PI and the incident at Sepang. MM choosing to sit behind Lorenzo for the entire race will raise a lot of suspicion. He obviously had the pace to close right up on Lorenzo's rear wheel several times, but he never looked for an inside line to pass.
