I don't think Rossi is a dirty rider compared with most, but consider the Gibernau last corner Jerez 2006 pass and particularly the Sepang 2015 take-out to be dirty by any standards.


Perhaps Valentino has a point in logic though, and Jorge should describe him by a more defining term, in which case he should call him either a prima donna or someone who has serially mobilised his fans as a weapon against his rivals.

Lorenzo never called him dirty though not once. He said other riders overtake cleaner which isn't a complete lie. He said his style is to overtake aggressively which again is true.

As has been said many times 'it's not a knitting competition' and most riders have forced their way through at one time or another. Not defending all questionable passes by any means but there is a case of 'kettle pot black' here.
 
Rossi is a hypocrite more than anything, he whinged like .... when Toni Elias put some tough moves on him at Turkey in 2007. Think he also had a go at Toseland the following year, yet when he's the one dishing it out it's just racing.

A 100% primadonna.

I actually hope this is a beat-up otherwise the guy really has lost it. In comparison with what he has been saying about MM and Lorenzo for the last year or so what Jorge said about that pass was extremely mild.

Jorge actually is in a position to comment as a notably clean rider for most of his premier class career. MM not so much, but then he also doesn't seem given to making hypocritical statements such as this either.

Rossi likes to be the one doing the calling out.
He behaved in the same indignant way when Casey called him out too.
 
Exhibit V certainly isn't anything to fear. They both got ..... slapped by fenati for ..... sake
Rossi's next helmet design.

If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks.
 
Funny you say that, my buddy Rog said to me Rossi went with that design as a statement of solidarity against Fenati. Ha!

If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks.

Man if that is true........ Wouldn't it be great if Fenati got signed by team Estrella Galicia
 

Thanks.

I have to say i agree with Rossi (except about JL having called him a dirty rider), it was similar to the overtake by Pedrosa and to the overtakes at Silverstone.

Problem is it was also similar to the overtakes performed both on him and by him at Sepang 2015, although most in that duel were actually cleaner than this recent one.
 
But if Lorenzo called Rossi a dirty rider(he didn't) he would be correct. Not that this particular move was dirty though.
