I linked that article on another forum because the sheep were saying Rossi had moved on blah blah and it disappeared so i linked it again. It disappeared again. Its amazing the lengths his fans will go to protect his false image,even editors of reputable news sources and moderators on well known forums . The sane ones have a caveat of 'well, Marquez didnt do anything illegal, but he did cheat Vale out of the title, but he needs to stfu. One thing i have noticed is the hatred is cooling quickly as Rossi fans really really really really want to be able to pull for Marquez once Rossi is gone. Not because they like him, but in their desperation to pull for a winner. Everything was set up for them to bask in the glory of another 10 years of championships then it was snatched from under their feet. Now you are hearing, i still dont like the guy but he has matured so much, i think he has learned his lesson. You watch, before its over, the minions will have fully forgiven Marquez and that bandwagon will be overflowing with glory hounds

Let's wait and see what Rossi's next move to discredit his rivals first matey. I'm half expecting some seriously harsh moves from him soon...

I would say it's a full on guarantee based on this recent article. Could you image the Italian job if Petrucci had the pace to run with the front group?
I've been wondering about this as well. Maybe Jorge is a chance for the championship after all.

Absolutely, it'll be bad enough with Iannone on the rampage, let's face it he's got nothing to lose if he takes either Lorenzo or Marquez out.
He and Rossi might just need Lorenzo replica helmets...

The thought of Iannone being hired by vr46 did come to mind. Considering that he may actually have a future as a world champ. I wonder if he would be that dumb to get involve with that mess. Now we all know he's not the brightest at times. But after the many hard lessons of 2016, I would like to think he has reasons to start using his head.

That was my prediction from the first of the season was that if Marquez was poised to win a title, there would be an incident involving him and Marquez to derail said title. This last outburst this past weekend he dropped hints that his rage made him a dangerous rider. If its going to happen, it will be in the next 2 races as a podium at Motegi and a win at PI virtually wraps up the title. Marquez has been speaking of races that are marked on the calendar as tracks where he will push for wins. Aragon was one, PI and Valencia are others with a wait and see approach at Motegi and Sepang
Oh dear, the paranoia is ridiculous. Rossi has been in positions this year where he could easily have done something dirty to Marquez but there has been no hint of it.
Rossi would be best advised and not bring up 2015 again. He gains nothing by bringing it up. Marquez is mentally the toughest opponent he has ever faced so any kind of mind games will not work.
I will be very surprised personally if anything along the lines being mooted occurs, it is probably too late apart from anything else.
You seem like a very reasonable poster, but your boy has left you in something of a position of weakness as far as calling anyone else ridiculously paranoid, given a plot to deprive him of last year's championship is exactly what he alleged and continues to allege, and that he actually as a matter of historical record did take out MM at Sepang last year with an illegal/"dirty" move.

I disagree it's paranoid, Rossi has already taken Marquez out with a non racing move. There's no evidence to suggest he wouldn't do it again given that A: he got off so ridiculously lightly and B: he keeps bringing up 2015 with more frequency over the last couple of weeks. He's highly temperamental, self entitled and petulant there is no reason to believe without any doubt he won't pull some shady .... again.
Rossi is terrified that Marquez will either equal or best his championships/wins and I do believe he will.

There's every chance Rossi would do something silly buddy. I'm not saying full blown lunacy like Sepang, but the odd block pass with a little extra shove towards the dirt. He could well do that to either of his rivals.
It's all conjecture and theories anyway, isn't that what forums like this are about?

People can surmise all they want but personally I doubt that Rossi would do anything obvious as once again with the comments he has bought focus and attention to himself (and besmirched others), which is personally what I suspect he needs and demands ............. attention as it had been waning a little thanks to Lorenzo's (I believe) brilliant stealing of the limelight.
IMO only, but Rossi wanted attention and what better way than to revisit the conspiracy theory of 2015 as he knows full well that a large number of his loyal and loving fans will once again reproduce the anger to make life around the track uncomfortable for those at whom he takes aim

Neither of those guys (or Rainey, Lawson etc) would have needed a lackey's help to 'swipe the mosquito'
All Marc needs to do is sit behind Valentino for the remaining races now and he's won, doesn't need to get involved in anything silly.

I reckon he'll want to beat him and rub it in though. The lad seems to enjoy a bit of mental sparring. Look at his interviews where he states it was important to stop Rossi and change his mindset, hence breaking any confidence that he was building.
Absolutely, but then there is also a championship to win and no doubt that will come first but once all is beyond doubt I suspect a return to the Marquez v2013.14 version
