No, Rossi and people who support his disgusting baseless accusations have ...... Marquez. Let's place the blame where it stems from. All Marc did is do what supposedly Rossi and his fans have admired. Race hard, and in this case clean! Yes, it's not a court of law, This is at very least a space to expose the human condition that has ...... Marc, a young kid who was living out his career but got entangled in the Tyranny of Rossi and his cult worshippers in tow over EXACTLY NO EVIDENCE. None. You haven't produced any, in fact you said, you might be wrong. Well if you are, multiple that times hundreds of thousands which have now put Marc career and life in a awful predicament.
Can you for a moment Steve imagine the implication that you are wrong about Marc? Hell it shouldn't be that hard to do since you wouldn't have to shelve anything, nothing substantial, in fact a mere hunch. Now then imagine what this has done to Marc, the very real human being. You may be hindered because of your faith that he is guilty, and deserves it, now if he is not guilty, does he deserve the mess of his reputation that this has caused?
Remember walking in a GP paddock, its 80% Rossi fans. Marc's work space has now become a hostile environment. And for what? A ....... hunch by a paranoid tyrant who planted a seed to fester in his fanbase.
Don't think reality is black/white in such a way.
In a court of law the jury can not use an accused past crimes as evidence against the one for which he is charged.
People say the Titanic was unsafe because rivets holding the hull plates broke easily. When in fact it sank purely as a consequence of hitting an iceberg. Marquez' contact with Rossi was purely a coincidence of Rossi forcing Marquez to the edge of the track
There was still a lot 'till the edge of the racetrack. Marquez was pushed off the best line (also from the 2-nd, 3-th best lines ) but he is never pushed off the track. Please observe the moment he was off the bike and the track limit.
I have hope in myself and say yes! I'm still very young, watching motogp since '93, seen a lot of races and this move is not by far the worst in 20 years. Crazy guy on crazy machines riding insanely, it is not a buddhist prayer.I also wonder Paszti, if the bikes were reversed and it was a Repsol Honda on the inside, and Rossi on the outside, would you share the same opinion?

Do you consider your petrol tank 'a lot left' if it's only 5% full?
Here's the sequence of events AT the time the crash happened:
1. MM was BEHIND VR
2. MM leaned INTO VR
3. MM's helmet/head hit VR
4. MM started sliding and falling
5. VR reacted automatically AFTER MM's helmet hit him
At the moment of the race it seemed like VR kicked MM. However if the tape is watched in slow motion, the sequence of events is 1-5 as listed.
Most folks made a hasty decision based on what they saw on the screen. Without reviewing it is difficult to see.
In case, MM was behind, and leaned towards and hit VR first. Quite clear actually on the tapes.
Unfortunately Patsy, your version of 'reality' appears to be distorted by a distinctly yellow tinted filter.Don't think reality is black/white in such a way.
As Marc slowed Rossi matched pace to maintain the worlds longest block pass.
Hey Krops, thanks for making an appearance. Yeah, you're right it's only bike racing. Sadly Rossi has turned it into an ugly attack on Marc Marquez, the person. This has been quite disturbing for me.Who cares? It's only motorbike racing. It's not as if it matters.

Yes, there are much worse things happening around the world, I'm acutely aware of history and current events actually. No doubt. Seriously, I could go on and on, in fact there is this radio station here that does this bit called "Your problem and third-world problems". You call in with your ..... and moan, then the DJ tells you about some awful .... someone is going through in a war torn theatre around the ...... world. I can't tell you just how this can adjust one's perspective. And I'll even add, I often feel like an ....... for it, until it fades, then I feel like an ....... for that.
For me this incident has captivated my interest in several was, but one in particular is this victim shaming aspect. I see it in my line of work and what it does to young people. Their lives become tortured. There is much research in this aspect, that pain is pain. You know I've been one of Marc's biggest detractors, but it seems odd that perhaps the tables have turned, now you're in the position to tell me what an ....... he is and that he was a culprit because Alzamora said he was upset for losing Assen, or whatever. When I opened this thread I did so with the honest intent to force us to provide evidence of Marquez guilty, blame, fault, in what has transpired between Thursday's press conference and the conclusion of the race and it's aftermath. That is my focus.
Why? Because Marquez I feel has been railroaded, his life has turned upside down, and all I see is the perpetrator being 'ataboyed' while Marc must walk the plank. The character assassination of Gibernau, Hayden, Stoner, Lorenzo, and now Marquez. Something that I observed has diminished their enjoyment of their craft, even to the point that our sport (yes Krops ours, we love it) lost one of the greats prematurely in Stoner, and it's my belief Rossi had a part in that. So are we again seeing this play out without the voices of opposition?
How the .... can your (I'm assuming primary) job in life be writing about motorcycle racing just for you to claim no one should care and it doesn't matter? Its literally your job or hobby to care, lmfaoWho cares? It's only motorbike racing. It's not as if it matters.
