J4rn0, there are days when I have to admire your devotion to ignorance.
I've already stated in the past here, that while no fan of Rossi, I would rather see him lose a straight fight on the track to Lorenzo, Marquez, or whomever else, because it prevents this sour grapes .... from his fans, where you say there'd be conspiracy theories about Lorenzo's engine going had the situation been the inverse. If the situation had been reversed, I'd be questioning what led to Yamaha's decision to not swap or replace the engine in light of Rossi's engine blowing up in the morning warm-up in that hypothetical scenario. Obviously whatever the root cause of the engine failure for Lorenzo, it was not concerning enough for Yamaha to feel it warranted a change for Rossi too.
Particularly bothersome with your post is this insistence that Rossi was just testing Lorenzo coming down into San Donato. You accuse the non-Rossi fans of semi-exhultation over Rossi's engine failure, yet here you are pulling the classic Rossi bopper tactic of disparaging what Lorenzo was doing during the laps Rossi was out there; it can't be possible Lorenzo was outbraking Rossi, Rossi had something in reserve. Lorenzo talked about working on setting up the brakes on the M1 specifically to go deeper into the corners, and San Donato in particular since whoever can brake latest there has a huge advantage. Now, I do think the possibility exists that Rossi may have gotten past Lorenzo, but Lorenzo was also as usual a man on a mission. To deny Rossi a victory in front of his home crowd would have been a huge bonus for Jorge, or even Marc for that matter. We do not know how that race unfolds in the latter third if Rossi is still out there, and it is very possible Marquez in the mix hurts Rossi. Either way Lorenzo's performance was stellar and certainly the win was aided by the Honda's acceleration woes...but to win, he had to be there at the very end.
