Sepang Test 1 Thread

[michaelm]

Here’s the thing.
I don’t give a .... about who posted here in the past or how many precious feelings they hurt.

I see non objective ........ here and I will call it out. Because I judge racers based on what they can do on the track, not what one can read in the gossip sheets or what the strengths or lack thereof of their Fanclubs.

What I see is a whole bunch of jaded people who don’t seem to enjoy racing anymore and spend most of their time arguing about everything except the on track action.

Which is pretty ....... sad. Why do you even bother to tune in on sundays anyway?

Again, argumentum ad hominem seems to be pretty much all you have. And the problem with you as the self appointed caller of ........ is that you are not on available evidence particularly well-informed or intrinsically smart in general, and seem to have a major problem in differentiating between what is fact and what is opinion, especially when it comes to your own opinion.

And what you call jaded some on here might call having perspective ie having experience of gp bike racing when it was other than pretty much entirely focused on a single rider and run by bike racing guys rather than venture capitalists/merchant bankers.

And as you have been repeatedly told yes watching MM defy all logic and pretty much the laws of physics is still thrilling to watch, him being booed while standing on the top step of the podium after doing so not so much.

Did you see me boo Marquez for winning? In fact, the only rider centric negative post I have made is calling out the rather ridiculous “look he is changing the space time continuum “ praises for a decent lap from Stoner. So spare me the “we have been emotionally scarred by others so we have to take it out on you” sob story.

Also, calling jaded bitter old farts thusly isn’t as hominem. It’s just being factual.

Lastly, Since you seem to be quite mind reader, maybe you could also tell me what I had for breakfast today.

Another post entirely devoid of actual arguments, and full of argumentum ad hominem and expressions of emotion while accusing others of same.

If you are going to be the self appointed caller of ........ on the forum you could perhaps consider displaying more in the way of credentials for doing so. Pretty much anyone who is vaguely literate can whine about opinions with which they disagree and those who have them.

And you probably had what you "felt" like having for breakfast.

You seem pretty shook up, Mike.
Do you need an emotional support Peacock or something?

If you want to play cod psychology, there is an actual recognised phenomenon called projection.

I am happy to acknowledge my opinions are just that, opinions.

Oh I know that one!
It’s the one where you lots accuse those who do not follow your lead as delusioned, maniacal and a few other select choice of words right?

 

[Keshav]

No never made less than a 1/2 electric. Accumulated all the other sizes in acoustic down to 1/4, as my children and grandchildren had a go, but the others as I saw good ones on ebay .... then had to complete the set.

Does rossi have a theme song? Maybe I could attempt it on the 1/64 for synn.

Save your talents for Rossi's swan song. Only a matter of time.

 

[Theo]

I give you ...... 4 rounds synn.

Thats a bit generous I'd have thought.

 

[Theo]

Give me a break.

Here you go

For Libby.

That is very, very cool!

QED.

I guess that makes Ramon Forcada who has said the tyre change last year derailed Vinales, who was leading the championship for Yamaha at the time of the tyre change if you recall, and those who made a rule which recognised the unfairness of what transpired, "delusioned", maniacal and a few other select "choice of words" as well.

Rather than misapplying epithets, which is pretty much all you have offered rather than anything so mundane as an actual argument for the last several pages, perhaps you could tell me how Rossi's wise veteran assessment of the faulty nature of the original tyre last year and the subsequent change from that tyre helped Yamaha's title chances last year. You may have heard of Yamaha; they are a race team, and actually the employers of Valentino Rossi, not the other way round, which is the problem those you dispute have with the latter Rossi era in motogp in a nutshell.

 

[povol]

Gotta admit its looking like that. And I'l add that it will not change whilstever rossi is there. As all the little advantages he procures, for the sake of keeping the yellow lemming money rolling in, does not help Yamaha in keeping a rider that shows its equipment as a great bit of gear.

What a great exercise it would be to see Stoner or Marquez or even Lorenzo again on the Yam.

Still dont get the idiocy of how Yamaha could have allowed the situation whereby they pissed off there No.1 rider for the sake of pandering to rossi. But I guess they decided that yellow lemmings could butter their bread instead of winning.

The profit margin in T-shirt’s is incredible. When I say incredible, I mean incredible. I used to run a cut and sew shop, I know.

 

[povol]

I am not evading .....
They probably brought it to Argentina as they wanted to see if they really did .... up. Do automotive recalls happen only after millions of consumers complain or when a handful report a serious issue?

You see it as Michelin moving heaven and earth to give Rossi what he wants, I see it as them hearing a complaint from one of the veterans and giving the entire field a chance to fairly evaluate the old and the new to see if that complaint was valid or not. Fact remains, 21/23 said they want the old one. No matter how you want to spin it. I am not going in rounds to explain this again.

End of the day, I agreed with you that the new rule is fairer and makes sense. What I don’t agree with is the blind hatred without any consideration for the fact and the mob attack at someone who doesn’t seem to agree with the popular stance here.

You can call me as many stupid nicknames as you want and display the combined intellect equivalent to a three year old dropped on its head, but I will call ........ out when I see it.

As will I call ........ when someone continuously tries to change history with a false narrative. There wasn’t anything wrong with the tire, they did not .... up as you say,there were no safety concerns. The only problem with the tire is Rossi didn’t like it, that’s it.

What, did I miss the race last Sunday? Who won, was it Marqi or Dovi? Lorenzo still having trouble understanding team orders? How did Rossi go, is he still jealous of Zarco on the 2016 weapon of a bike? Please update me man, I thought it was still the off season? .... time flys when your a jaded old man wasting your life hating on Rossi. Help me man, how do I break out of this rut and become a real fan? Should I start by purchasing a hat? In red or bright yellow?

For Libby.

Love it , thank you " Thats ma boy !"

As I remember, people were discussing the test here.
And it was heading in the right direction until the tyre experts decided to step in again.

I can’t help jaded ..... stop being so, but I’ve heard that a long walk off a short pier with concrete boots on might help.

 

[AntG]

On a lighter note does anyone else think Sepang sounds like a womans bra strap snapping?

Yes we are jaded with Rossi, rather than younger riders (one of whom in MM has similar talent to that possessed by Rossi when he was MM's age), and his quest for a 10th title he never needed to prove his worth anyway still dominating the narrative after 8 seasons in none of which he has won said title, and who is now nearly 40, and we are the ones who are backwards looking?. We are also sick of whining fans of his who have nothing to contribute to this forum beyond argumentum ad hominem while complaining about epithets being applied to them, and can't muster an argument to support their opinion to save themselves.

And how exactly is it irrelevant to testing this pre-season that a rule has been promulgated to the effect that unlike last year if a rider proves adept at setting up his bike with the tyres provided to him for testing he will have those tyres available to him for the season?.
