Only on one condition will I engage you on this topic. You have to post a photograph of yourself holding today's newspaper proving A. You are the "person" who contends to be initiating this topic. and B. You are neither a Russian trolling program designed to give a lifelike impression of working intellect that could pass the Turing test, nor a naughty 10 year-old playing with Mommy's ipad. I say this because the possibility that anyone above the age of 12 could continually conceive such anti-cogent expostulations would seem to point to a sad and catastrophic failure of the child endangerment laws enacted to limit our nation's youth to lead poisoning.

Hilarious post, but you're running from the truth.

Call it what you want, but there are real quotes from real people in the sport of GP on the subject of Rossi and the preferential treatment he has recieved throughout his career. Again, im shocked he didnt win more than he did. Machine and tire advantages against mediocre competition. The true Rossi is the one with 2-3 wins a year, fighting for championships on consistency, and ultimately choking when things get tight.

No matter what the tire, it will always favor some riders over others controlled or not.

So what? Some tracks favor some riders over others. The control tires aren't made for any rider in particular, some riders are just better at adapting to them than others.
 
For what it is worth given I observed events from a distance of 12,000 miles, imo as others have said some or even many who voted to leave did so for not very valid reasons, such as a la recherche du temps perdu and racism, and the exploitation of same for individual political ends by a politician who did not even necessarily want Britain to leave the EU himself.

Like others I can see valid reasons as well, chief among them EU bureaucrats unelected by the British populace and not answerable to them having the power to make decisions which affect them. The UK unlike Germany is small in land area and already closely settled. The EU is also a very different beast to when the UK joined, and seems disposed to continue to expand indefinitely, regardless of whether nations wishing to join are solvent or make fraudulent representations. The EU also primarily works for Germany's benefit, giving that nation assured markets and keeping their currency much undervalued compared to what it would be if there was still a Deutsche Mark, again helping German exports. I suspect being in the EU may still have been to the UK's overall economic benefit though, particularly going forward.

It would definitely have been beneficial to stay in financially in the immediate future. However looking further forward Britain can do better trading unshackled. We also need to address the issue of a population of a city the size of Newcastle arriving yearly , the benefits system and NHS just cannot cope, neither can we build housing fast enough.

Why? Marcs been putting in great times in testing and free practice on the current tyres....

Including a 4th place in Losail when he said he would have preferred the harder tyre. Marc likes hard tyres.

You mean Losail where he was fastest in FP4 on the hard but due to strange conditions was told by Michelin not to run the hard? That Losail?
 
You're missing the point Dani, I(and others) used DORNA/MotoGPs track record to predict that with Rossis struggles on the new tyre Michelin would bring a new stiffer carcass for Valentino. They did.

It was the consensus among all the riders(including Marquez) but Rossi that they preferred Michelins new tyre. There's only one reason to bring a new one for Argentina.

Yes and the whole grid were told the same.
There was no fp4, you must mean warm up practice.
 
One of the things that 2015 proved to us after much speculation was that when encountered with a problem or something he doesn't like, Rossi will win to Carmello. Judging from how quickly he ran to Carmello and the nonchalant way he summoned Carmello to his motor home, it's logical to believe that this wasn't anywhere near the first time and it anything had become common practise for Rossi over the years.

Is it any wonde why Michelin have now brought a tyre with construction that Rossi prefers to Argentina?

They are only bringing the harder carsass on soft and medium compound, the two compounds Marquez never uses.unbeleivable. All riders said new tire was fine, one rider didn't , tire change.
