Sachsenring race!!!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mjpartyboy @ Jul 20 2009, 09:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>He may have scored his first point, but two riders in front of him didn't finish the race, placing him 15th, and he still finished last.
And got lapped. I was cringing at the finish watching the leaders dice back and forth while approaching Talmasci. Dealing with backmarker interlopers over the last couple of turns of a close race is not cool.

1.- 101 wins and needs 23 to break the all time Record from Agostini. Could be 22 more, depending on how it is accounted, Agostini considers a 750 win to a total of 123. So in this matter, Rossi would need 23 to achieve 124 to 'Have the Record in the Bag'. And also in this matter, we have 9 races left in 2009, and we are going to have 18 in 2010, applying Rossi's 47.17% average wins, we need 49 more races. Meaning all 2009, 2010, 2011 plus 4 races from 2012, by the time Rossi gets there. So Agostini was saying this plus a couple more seasons to get it, and he has bases. So I say GO GOAT, GO ROSSI!!!

2.- Rossi already tide the Most Carrier Podiums from Agostini too, this is just a matter of one more race to be broken perhaps.

That race was brilliant. The top 4 guys really are on another planet, but those Yamahas are stretching ahead. Its starting to look a bit like Doohan and Criville in some ways!

Something i have observed this season and don't recall seeing before though, is that in post race/qualifying interviews at the moment Rossi praises himself a lot. I don't recall seeing any other rider doing it quite so much and i find it really interesting, and quite funny! Anyone else notice that?

Go on some websites and read some transcripts if you are interested, or just keep an ear out in future. See what you think

You seem to have spare time to find this stuff, so why not link to show?

E: I guess he means comments like "In the last laps I tried to push a lot but he was able to overtake. We arrived at the end and I made my attack, and after that I know at this racetrack it is very hard to overtake, so I tried to stay in front and on the last lap I was very fast at the crucial points."

SO basically Rossi is saying that he was very fast. That's true, isn't it?

E: now I really found the funny self praise he meant, also from autosport:

"He (rossi) added: "It's easy to be in his conditions: he fights against Valentino Rossi, one of the strongest riders ever, so he goes for it and if he loses he tries again. Meanwhile, this year we are 6-3 in my favour. Good, I like that. He's a tough nut with enormous talent.""

Funny stuff, I gotta say.

I haven't noticed anything different Tom as well, its a usual stuff for Rossi if anything i have noticed that he praises his yamaha M1 these days alot and rightly so as well.

He has also been praising jb a lot to. he said his 100 victorys would not have been possible without him. i think rossi said in parc ferme this race that he rode perfectly to fend off jorge and toms running with that. pretty ....... lame but it is tom after all

Good work, but neither of these were what i had in mind. I'll keep an eye/ear out and see what i come accross. It was simply a observation when we were watching this weekends coverage, if nobody else has noticed a change i'll see what happens in future or see if i can find some old interviews for reference.

might have been an idea if you had done that before opening your trap as it is you made a derogatory remark with no proof what so ever. thats called trolling tom !

what did i say that was derogatory? I'm only asking if anyone else had observed what i had, its really no issue if they haven't

so what was your motive for asking such a thing ? we all know fair well what you were implying. We now also now you had .... all to back it up.

As i've already said more than once, i was just wondering if anybody else made the same observation. If you haven't thats fine, i don't mind.
