Wait, I thought I was biased in favor of Marc?
...., I can't keep up with whose fanboi I'm supposed to be any more.
No I think you've jumped on the other ninitos bandwagon now!

Well in fairness, it's more due to the fact that the ever myopic Dorna awarded a Grand Prix to a circuit that only existed as a CAD drawing and the owners/backers were contractually obliged to deliver. Imagine if the only venue they could find had been Knockhill.
Mate I'm waiting for your literary masterpiece on watching the race winner smash his rivals in the wet on Sunday?
That kind of Rossi bloviating has been moved to Crash.net.
Here, we generally stick to conspiracy and throwing .... at one another. I prefer it here. I'm a documented Rossi skeptic. That being said, there's no replacement for experience and race craft . Rossi deploys both simultaneously to best more naturally skilled competitors and deserves his victory. He'll need a monsoon to win the championship however. I still think in the dry, JL climbs to the top step of the podium enough to secure the trophy this year.
No matter what, it'll be very entertaining and whoever wins is certainly worthy and deserving.
As our good friend Johnn, sorry, Moto chi…I mean, Super Manatee is so fond of reminding us, it’s been almost a decade since we've had a satellite victory.
And Stuper Mankini.
Did someone say Pinky?

I was thinking the other day how I'm wondering if Rossi and dorna are trolling us all. What if they planned this whole thing? Cause VR is the king of ....... with people, so what makes you think he isn't purposefully putting himself in the position he is in? He's on the edge of winning the championship & losing it. He is almost too calm & collected.
It's a mind .... man.
But I think Rossi is gonna win. ....... fairytale ending. And I'm going to laugh, and think how this whole season was probably an amazing joke.
I mean, I'm most likely being psycho...but it's a hilarious thought.
At least to me.
Whilst I'm not the tinfoil hat type, there have been some interesting inconsistencies this season with Rossi-particularly around FP. In Brno, he set very good times with the harder option tyre in FP4-and didn't seem to repeat this in the race-temperature could have played a part.
At Silverstone in the dry, he was consistently within 1-2 tenths in the first two splits and then lost 7-8 tenths in the last, could have been the setting. At Indy Pedrosa was amazed and said Rossi improved by 6-7 tenths in the race which was normally unheard of.
At Le Mans he was nowhere in FP-QP then comes out with the fastest lap of the race, and sits in behind Jorge - similar to Catalunya-could have been the Fuel Management systems.
Argentina he was so much faster than all of them on the extra hard it was embarrassing, happened to have his Maradona jersey handy there.
He has been accused of playing with the competition in the past for the spectacle, perhaps this is his biggest show yet.....
....... fantastic post. The stuff that has made this forum legend.Jums texted me fm Indy a photo of him chowing with Tony Elias. I had to sit down when he told me. The repurcussions of this meeting could potentially spin the earth off axis. The catalyst who unearthed the greatest farce in world history was going to meet and possible divulge GP's darkest secret to the Erin Brokovich of GP. This was like being inside the room during
Cheneys undocumented energy policy meeting, or on set of the fake lunar landing.
I commented to the Mexican Mumkie that I was surprised Elias was still alive and noone had assasinated him yet.
In our previous race thread someone had mentioned that Rossi ought to study what Nicky Hayden did in 2006 to win the title.
I almost replied," Whos going to be his Tony Elias?"
I ended up not replying because much like Winston Smith,I have been beaten down by the Dornaistry of Love, that tells me, Ignorance is truth, Ordinary is Alien, Excellence is Failure. Its pointless to think that Elias's feat could ever happen, as long as extra terrestrials inhabit the grid.
Petruccis ride was inspiring and for a few moments I actually had hope but very quickly the perpetual status quo was restored
Jesus, two great posts in a row. Surely there will be a catastrophe tomorrow just to keep the universe in balance.I was thinking the other day how I'm wondering if Rossi and dorna are trolling us all.

Hey Krops, welcome home buddy!
Stick around man. I'll be on my best behavior. Pinky promise. Nah really man, try to suffer us for a while. Missed u at Indy. I even brought an olive branch.
And Stuper Mankini.
I hope Krops doesn't have me on ignore, as I would like to post something I think we can all agree on, HJC hell-mets are .......
I think thats the end of the non-controversial part of his take though.
...and now for the blatant fanboyism:
Jesus Kropo, did you give Petrucci a kiss? You're such a Petrucci fanboy. Why don't you just start your own Damnielo Petruggi fanclub already.
Hey Krops, welcome home buddy!

What's with all of the circle jerking and occasional ... ....... about Marc here? Did anyone see who won the race? Who gives a .... about Marc anymore he's out of it through his own .... ups due to the Yamaha catching up this season and now for the first time he's facing proper rivals.
I'm amazed jums, haven't you seen Kropos write up and it's horrendous Lorenzo bias? He's been absolutely slammed in the comments section, and now he's closed the thread! ....... hilarious
Ok Emmett, the way you write about Marquez makes me think you'd like to .... him in the ..., since you have such a hard-on for kid.
"The Honda RC213V was too aggressive an engine to be tamed by electronics, the chassis too stiff to contain the stampede of horsepower contained in the 90° V4. The bike span, wheelied, and worst of all, slid the rear wheel unpredictably when it touched down ready for braking into the corner" - seriously are you ....... kidding me? You make me want to puke. The Ducati's are blowing away the Hondas down the straights, meaning they are the most powerful bike in MotoGP not the ....... Hondas.
"Márquez was trying, but perhaps a little too hard, riding every lap as if it was his one shot at pole, overloading the front tire to compensate for the lack of braking at the rear.
Márquez was pushing his luck, and it kept running out during the race, the Repsol Honda man either finishing down the order, or ending up in the gravel once the front cried enough."
You're so ....... bias towards honda and ....... hrc, it makes me sick reading your ....... articles, you're such a prick. STOP FANTIISING SUCKING MARCS .....
.... YOU'RE GROSS.
Interestingly, having now watched the coverage, there was immediate speculation in the commentary box that harsh engine braking upon closing the throttle may have been the culprit, which even given the bizarre nature of the crash and the supposed enduring maladies of the Honda, was I thought a tad presumptuous. However, forum posts, speculation in the press, and Motomatters aside, I would love to be privy to the telemetry.
The ripples at Silverstone are indeed horrendous and to compound the problem next year the circuit is to see the return of truck racing, a sport so moronic that even Parrish is a multiple title holder. Obviously, heavy braking zones such as Copse, Vale, and Borooklands/Luffield are particularly bad and your theory that Marquez's extreme lean angle in combination with the rucked surface may well have caused the crash. I honestly think his crew were as bemused as he was though. Perhaps he saw what happened to Stoner when he had the temerity to blame a bump at Motegi so he went with braking as an excuse instead.
Standing water has always been an issue at Silverstone. When Marc went down the rain had yet to intensify but I did wonder at the time when I saw the crash relayed on the screen whether this was the cause. You only have to be inches off a previous line and it can chuck you off.
Interestingly on the subject of telemetry, Cal was doing no different to his previous laps when he crashed at Brno.
