And Phil Read was the most disliked rider in the paddock in living memory for good reason.
 
What they fail to comprehend is that Rossi was not penalized for crashing Marquez . He was penalized for admittedly running Marquez wide, creating the situation where Marquez went down.

This is the bit that seems to have been forgotten. It was against the rules and was admitted. Everything else in this saga is conjecture, accusation or made up .........
 
Here are two old farts that needs to have the cataract removed from their eyes. Or just get off the rossi payroll. Dorna have already rewritten the rule for wonder boy.

MotoGP News - MotoGP: Read, Gardner discuss Rossi, Marquez clash

They are entitled to their opinion on the MM crash, but Phil Read is coming out with archetypal old fogey stuff in relation to the sport being a Spanish conspiracy and damages his credibiilty in general.

I too think there are too many Spanish riders and would like to see more riders of other nationalities participating and more to the point succeeding, but I don't think this is the result of any conspiracy. At this time in history Spain has the greatest enthusiasm for the sport, greatest participation at the junior level, the best feeder programs, the most appropriate junior race series with gp related bikes etc. British riders, Italian riders, and American ex-superbike riders have variously previously dominated gp bike racing at different times.

If anything it is an advantage not to be Spanish in terms of riders of equivalent talent getting a ride, and it could be argued current Australian and British competitors have been favoured due to their nationality. Dorna were also reputedly annoyed when Pol Asparagus got the Tech 3 ride.

None of Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, Aprilia or KTM are Spanish as far as I am aware either.

People on this forum are gonna be pissed with Read and Gardner now..

Not that I agree with them anyway, everybody has their own opinion.
Spain is strong in motogp but the mafia thing is ridiculous.
There wasn't an USA mafia in the 90s, there wasn't an Italian mafia in the early 2000s, there is no Spanish mafia now.
 
Read is a complete knob.
Complete.

And also Utter


What do you expect from a country that thinks of nothing but getting a cheap kitchen.

I dont know about you but I get the impression that all anyone in the uk does is:

Want a cheap kitchen

dream about a cheap kitchen

own a cheap kitchen

talk about cheap kitchens when they meet in the street ( ooh ello love, ows the cheap kitchen going? )

Nigella .... cheap kitchen

jamie oliver ..... cheap .... no ...positively ghetto kitchen

gordon ramsey ... potty mouth .... gutter kitchen

name their heroes after cheap kitchens ..... Lord cheap Kitchener

id even venture to say that the riders we get from britain are like cheap kitchens amongst handbuilt custom luxury blackwood kitchens we export from aus.

and as we all know cheap kitchens dont have nice nice recessed door handles, or secret closures etc. Cheap kitchens have knobs. Knobs knobs knobs as far as the eye can see.
