*whoosh*
That's the sound of things flying over your head.
If it's like high school, please do leave. You won't be missed at all.

The Ducatis had passed Rossi and when the accident happened, Rossi was a good 6-7 bike lengths behind the 2. His presence had zero bearing on what happened. Iannone had a brain fart and was desperate to beat his teammate
You can make your ........ insults all you want, but nothing is going over my head.
You're simply upset that your boy Lorenzo will never be regarded as the GOAT. And it burns your ....... every morning. It must be tough to accept that.
And why don't you leave? I don't see anyone showing you much love in here.

Clearly you didn't watch the race very closely, or listen to the announcers. Rossi's pace was increasing and the distance was no where near 6-7 bike lengths. All you have to do is replay the crash segment and see that Rossi was there in the blink of an eye.
The hatred of Rossi runs deep here, but fear not, for I will let you know the truth.

I don't care if Lorenzo is ever considered a GOAT or not. But you do care quite a bit about whether Rossi is considered such.
Hey Tom...you should stick to the Bimmer forums, you fit in better there.

Iannone doesn't have mirrors on his bike. Rossi had just executed an aggressive challenge of his own just a few turns before turn 13. It is utterly conceivable and even likely Rossi would have attempted a Jerez 05 on Iannone. I believe he wasn't trying to pass Dovi but rather protecting his position. But even if you are correct and Iannone is flat lying that he wasn't trying to pass Dovi, I still don't believe it was unreasonable. Off the top of your head, don't go looking it up, how many passes do you think were executed at turn 13 that race? Take a guess. Then ask, how many of those passes at this very spot involved directly or indirectly Iannone and Dovi? You'll be surprised.

Na, wrong again. I watch the races with commentary OFF. I don't need a commentator to help me know what I'm watching. Especially when it tends to be biased. Much more enjoyable listenin to engines than nonsense. Sorry monito, Rossi may have increased his pace when he was passed, but that is quite normal on a race track. When someone passes you, there is an extra boost of adrenalin, especially in the final laps, + you have someone infront showing you a faster line.
It's alright. Maybe you'll figure it out one day.
Don't try again. I'm done
Hey JPS, you seem proud that you discovered my name, as if I was trying to hide it. You are an amazing detective, perhaps MI5 should hire you.That's how pathetic you are. Are you going to find my house and send a dozen pizzas next? You're very impressive.
I know you REALLY do care that Lorenzo will never be considered the GOAT. It burns at your soul while you ponder your own meaningless existence.
And yes, I have no problem admitting that I do care whether Rossi is considered GOAT or not.
Look Jumkie, I'm just offering a theory, ok? Neither of us were in the heads of the riders.
Oh my poor little baboso, perhaps your head hurts too much from trying to defend your indefensible position.
Ok so you are a racer? You've been passed at speed on the inside? Didn't think so. So don't talk to me about about what happens on a race track. baboso.

No worries, I wasn't responding to your post. Actually, I hadn't read it, I'll go back to check it out. I was just responding to Povol about Iannone. I originally felt it was a boneheaded move. But since then I don't see it as unreasonable. And even less when I heard his explanation. That's all.

Yeah, about a 6-7 bike length blink of an eye. Second the notion of watching without commentators - I prefer the races sans buffoons...

Looks about 2-3 bike lengths.

By turn 13 where the collision occurred, Rossi had already dialed it down. Unbeknownst to Iannone.
I'm actually a bit confused about your point tps7c. Please elaborate what you're trying to explain. I think there are two different points being made here.

Just think of the speed you scrub off on your ... when you fall off your big wheel on a play-date.

yea about a second after the crash, how far do they go in a second. First picture tells the story where Rossi is not in the picture. Boppers

Ah, this seems to be the post I missed.
Regarding the podium, Rossi himself said he was "lucky to be on the podium." (See post race quotes, press release ).
Regarding your second point, Rossi did up his pace when Viñalez was chasing. I would agree that this may have contributed to Viñalez's crash. Once the Ducatis blew past, Dovi was fairly clear and unimpressed with Rossi's pace. Rossi did try to stick with Iannone, but as the last lap drew to a close, both Ducatis were clear. However I believe Iannone was unaware Rossi had at this point conceded being off the podium. Unbeknownst to Iannone, it seems to me he was still trying to protect his lines from attack and wound up going in a bit too hot on the inside of Dovi into turn 13. At first I thought Iannone was trying to pass Dovi. When I went back to review it I became less and less convinced Iannone was trying to overtake Dovi, in fact the day it happened I had a short debate about it with a buddy. After listening to Iannone's explanation of the event and his thoughts he offered at the pre-event press conference at COTA, I became convinced he was really trying to guard against an unrealistic Rossi attack.
In other words I'm saying Rossi was actually too slow, or didn't have the pace to attack Iannone. I'm also saying, this was in Iannone's head. He had not realized Rossi was far enough back not to bother either Ducatis who at this point were several bike lengths clear.

Wouldn't have easing his bike up to Dovi's right knee served the purpose? Do ya think AI thought Rossi was going around the outside while he was jamming it up the inside? Its not as though Dovi backed off and upset his judgement. AI is certainly experienced enough to hear when a bike is 1-2 lengths back as opposed to 6-7.
