Oxley bashing Jorge Lorenzo in Misano 2016 in a whole article. But he did none over VR in COTA 2017 (Zarco pass).

He has been tagged as a Rossi apologist.
Whether he is totally I am not sure myself, but he is pretty definitely part of the show rather than a free and fair reporter as far as I am concerned, not that independent journalists in the wider world are anything other than a threatened species, again imo.

Hackoxley and Hackropotkin are the two biggest embarrassments in GP journalism.
Both should have their credentials revoked for blatant favoritism and disgusting muckracking-style journalism of trashing riders using their lofty platforms. After Kropo's hit piece on Danny Kent, he should be forced to grovel and kiss Kent's feet for such a disgusting article. Hopefully he finds out what it's like to be on the receiving end one day.
I think the only reason I don't mind him is that Schwantz dislikes him and I can't be doing with Schwantz.
Big fan of his when he was riding, as I was of Wayne Gardner before him.
Not so much a fan of their post career pronouncements.

I watched it from the couch in front of the tv then the one at the side of the room. Still looks the same no matter what angle I watched it from.
Doohan is always right.

I remember watching it live and thinking Rossi kicked him off, and that he should have been disqualified.
After watching the replays, I thought it was quite clear that Rossi ran him wide, then MM turned into him.
Anyway, that doesn't excuse Rossi's conduct. You can't purposely run a guy wide.

Except when you looked at the helicopter view. Which dorna deleted.
Nothing rossi did there was right ... or racing.
Which makes it double disgusting cos the other guys mind is on racing not dirty pillow party hissy fits.
