Nobody else was going to catch Rossi after Iannone passed him.
I suppose since you dislike Rossi the whole "but Lorenzo is beating him in points!" is an enjoyable card to play. However, given Lorenzo's recent performances (even taking Rossi's mistakes into consideration) it doesn't seem likely that points lead will not last much longer. Might as well play that card all you can, while you can.
Who knows, maybe Lorenzo finally gets his head back in the game.

I'm just saying there is two sides to it
It's likely Rossi will best Lorenzo. His head is at Ducati I think, he has nothing left to prove on the yam and will no longer get new bits from Brno onwards.

if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle. JLO was just as bad last year and turned it all around. i like every rider on the grid yes i am a MM fan but i like racing and admire all the riders except rossi. i wish no ill will on him nor do i want to see him hurt but i assure you unless yamaha stops supporting him he will finish ahead of rossi.

How convenient. You assure me Lorenzo will finish ahead of Rossi, but just in case that doesn't happen you have your excuse ready that it was only because Yamaha stopped supporting him.

Are you only a MM fan if he wins the championship? The only expectation I have for Rossi is to give maximum effort each race. If he doesn't win, there are no excuses the best rider will win. Better luck next season is what I'd say. As a fan of the sport, it's been an enjoyable season thus far.
I don't think the few of us on this forum that do not dislike Rossi are the ones posting the most ridiculous excuses and conspiracies. We aren't claiming Assen was Red Flagged for MM's benefit, Rossi's engine failure was an act of sabotage, new Michelins are being made specifically for MM, or Dorna only wants a Spanish champion now. Those are the types of wild conspiracies coming from the "we hate Rossi" side of the fence.

That is Rossi's conspiracy and he doesn't post here. I'm talking about conspiracies that are thought up and posted here.

Thats the funny part for us Rossi "haters". Lorenzo cant find his ... with a map right now and is still in front of Rossi. He has scored 7 points in 2 races, and STILL leads Rossi in wins and points. Its ....... hilarious i tell ya.

By that logic, you being a Rossi fan should concentrate on talking about him, instead of your endless drivel mocking and trying to discredit Lorenzo.

You're Lorenzo fan? Must be tough right now, so I wont say much. But, you quoted my post that was in response to someone talking about the points situation between Rossi and Lorenzo. Naturally, I would need to mention Lorenzo in my response.
It's a sensitive time for Lorenzo fans, I understand. We're all friends here.... kind of... not really... somewhat.

Yeah, I admitted I took my criticism of Lorenzo too far after Assen. But lately, I haven't been as hard on him. Punches are coming my way for Rossi's screw up, Lorenzo fans are going to get a few jabs their way for his 15th place.

Yamaha have screwed up mightily this season with bad management calls throughout. I still blame the idiots for crippling my favourite rider of all time, the great Wayne Rainey. If they'd have listened to him and given him the frame he wanted, Yamaha wouldn't have had their huge slump in form prior to Rossi and the Furusawa M1.
They should've bunged Rossi into a Sky Italia factory team with all his staff and privileges, then kept Lorenzo on the Movistar factory bike. That way they'd still have Lorenzo ready for Rossi's retirement. If Vinales doesn't step up and Lorenzo's OK on the duc, they'll have nobody to spearhead the team and be back to square one. They'll never poach Marquez as HRC won't let themselves get mugged again.

Just stumbled on this thread. Been laughing at it because it's so coincidental Powerslide. Not one person out to really discuss .... seriously but rather a slug fest...and I love it. Everyone taking cracks and nobody crying foul. Hilarious thread gentz, loving the darts game.

So true. The core group of users on the forum have insulted and been insulted an infinite number of times.
Its hilarious watching users melt down and quit after they've been slighted once.
We should dig up and update the old RIP Powersliders thread.
Just like cemeteries section off by religon, we should have an area just for boppers. Not one for boners though. They dont die, they just write essays
Barry, your a ....
