If Max had a strong pace it's possible it could've taken Rossi longer to make a clean pass on him. It's really not a problem, keep the pressure on the rider in front and let the race continue to mature (fuel load drops and tires wear kicks in) and the opportunities for places to attack change. Rossi was able to stay on JL's back wheel, it was only a matter of time for he got a pass to stick.
Just as MM did, hey?
I think It is very likely VR would have had a good shot winning this race. Saying it was inevitable he would have made a pass stick is stretching it however.

Right, as MM did. JPS is talking like it's crucial to make the pass in the first 4 laps. Rossi tried it, couldn't make it stick, but was still able to stick with JL to wait for more opportunities. When I say Rossi would've made a pass stick, I'm not trying to say JL wouldn't have been able to repass him eventually. I meant stick as in not running wide immediately after and losing the position.
I loved watching the one shot they took of Stoner and of course he was complaining.
Dont let facts get in the way of logic. 3 bikes never battle to the finish which means one would inevitably check out. Neither of the Haitian riders could check out so obviously if Rossi's bike didnt break he wouldve cruised to victory.
Did you just start watching GP last week?

Still having trouble reading as usual I see.
I was comparing to another time period where an overtake would have easily happened on those first 4 laps had Max Biaggi been in the lead. Rossi no longer has that effect on riders.
Regarding today's race, Rossi might have overtaken, he also might not have. Lorenzo in dry weather with a setup that was perfect for him is a difficult man to overtake. Not impossible to overtake him, but very difficult.
Either way it doesn't much matter since Rossi did nothing of the sort and didn't finish the race. Console yourself with the thoughts of what might been, we'll deal with what really happened.

If I'm daydreaming about what might have been today, it's in response to your daydream about what might have happened in another era.

Absolutely right
I mean, why waste good manjizz on a woman when it should all be used to worship the Yellow God.
I .......... nightly whilst wearing my VR46 undies (a bright yellow thong/g-string if you want to know) and socks while watching reruns of VR46 riding bikes which I think he does for a living in between giving press interviews or something. Sometimes I even wear my VR46 helmet and wear my VR46 gloves while masturbating to change things up a little
Hell, I even clean up with my VR46 towel and then have a shower whilst wearing a VR46 shower net (would not want to get my flowing locks that I model on VR46 wet) whilst admiring my VR46 shower tiles.
I did once go looking for VR46 branded viagra so I could .......... to the god further but apparently VR46 Viagra just does not exist as apparently VR46 should make me hard enough.
Guess I just am not as big a VR46 fan as you.
So, how did you spend your evening/morning ?

A daydream?
Not even close.
Sachsenring, 2002, the last ride of the 2-strokes.
Rossi was P6, Biaggi was P3. Both dropped back at the start, Rossi was past Biaggi at the start of lap 3.
Try not to talk out of your ... next time.

You're talking out your ... claiming that because something happened at Sachsenring '02 it was the same for every showdown between Rossi & Biaggi.
So you choose a race 14 years back on a different track with different bikes, different engine and different tires to attempt to prove point that has no correlation with today's race? And you call others stupid?
GTFOff this forum.
I have followed the sport for quite a while, certainly for long enough to know Rossi doesn't always win at Mugello as you said in the post to which I replied, Jorge having beaten him in the last 6 Mugello races, winning 5 of them.
If you are a non-Rossi fan parodying a Rossi fan props to you, but if you actually are a Rossi fan the art of parody involves taking something to a ridiculous extreme, a point at which your posts don't really arrive in regard to a substantial proportion of Rossi fans.

lol trying to change the goal posts because you were proven wrong once again. You're an ..... as usual Vudu.
You claimed I was daydreaming in saying Rossi would have been past in 4 laps if it were Biaggi.
I wasn't.
You however were daydreaming in imagining a Rossi overtake that never happened.
Let's do another one, Rio de Janeiro 2002, Max Biaggi on pole, Rossi P2. Rossi was past him before turn 1.

If the point you're attempting to make is JL is tougher competition than Biaggi, I would agree. However, Rossi didn't always have an easy time getting the best of Biaggi so don't bother cherry picking the specific races where he did.
So Max Biaggi did battle Rossi as successfully as these guys do? I think not, although whether this was because Rossi was in his early to mid 20s then rather than 37 as he is now is a different question.
That current riders are not intimidated by Rossi as the likes of Max and Sete were is a valid point I would have thought, as is considering it likely that MM and JL might be better than Max and Sete as their win and championship tallies rather suggest.

There, fixed it for you.
You seem to forget... changes in fuel, weight and tires in the course of the race are equally true for all the riders, not just Rossi, and in particular Lorenzo who is riding virtually the same bike, albeit adjusted to his specs. There was nothing inevitable about a pass, especially with Iannone et al bringing up the rear.
