Alex Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Race direction should have a word with MM before the race. And his Dad too. Race Direction should threaten MM with missing the first round of next season if he plays silly buggers again. Seeing as it appears MM is furious over what he perceives is VR costing him the championship this year with Argentina and Assen. If Race Direction threaten his start to next year he may obey.

Swampy442 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I hadnt read the full race direction report, this line was a bit interesting. “Finally, we actually believe there is fault on both sides. “Despite what Marquez said we think he was deliberately trying to affect the pace of Valentino. However he didn't actually break any rules. Whatever we think about the spirit of the championship, according to the rule book he didn't make contact. His passes were clean. He rode within the rules." http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/224594/1/motogp-race-director-explains-rossi-punishment.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This article I think sums it up... https://motomatters.com/analysis/2015/10/27/2015_sepang_motogp_round_up_heroes_who_h.html What a farce...MM and VR are close to bringing the sport into disrepute. And JL needs to stop complaining. DP FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tough situation, i don't really know what they can do apart from give them a good arse kicking and tell them to behave. It's a shame the season will end with this all in the air. Also, I heard Lorenzo has been told he is not allowed to take part in Rossi's appeal against his points over the next few days. Tbh I'd like to see his penalty suspended and at least that way we can have a genuine battle for the title. If Rossi starts from the back it's pretty much a formality.

Rajinder Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 All this fuss because of Rossi. Clashes have taken place in F1 for decades like Prost and Senna, Hamilton and Rosberg to name a few but it never poisoned F1 so how can Moto GP be poisoned by this incident. I still say Rossi should have been black flagged. He is nothing but a cry baby and should accept like a man that there is a new kid on the block.

Yamaha should have stamped on this from the start, not good form from a team mate, regardless of their relationship. I still say Rossi should have been black flagged. He is nothing but a cry baby and should accept like a man that there is a new kid on the block. Hes also one of the greatest of all time, and is still leading the championship this season, and didnt respond this way the last couple of seasons with Marquez's dominance. Hardly a cry baby...

Dnk Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Why would anyone ask Biaggi ? Rossi is in a different league to most out there full stop, his track record speaks for itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We are all passionate about our riders in Moto GP which of course is our right. If Rossi is such a great rider then instead of appealing and whimpering he should go out there like a man and start from the back of grid and win the race, that will justify the faith all his fans has in him. Actions speak louder than words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Its not being passionate, its just looking at the guys record. You dont have to like him, but you do have to respect his desire and talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actions speak louder than words. Ask Hamilton if he'd win a race against Rosberg starting at the back of the grid... I'm not a big Rossi fan but i think it was harsh getting that penalty, the championship is over if it stands because the way i see it is that if Marquez doesn't fly away Rossi would still have to go through him.

Dnk Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Oh well that's pretty much handed the championship to Lorenzo unless Rossi pulls off a miracle this weekend. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/11/05/cas-dismiss-request-by-rossi/188894 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 http://www.motogp.com/en/2015/TheGrandFinale#scroll Not as impossible as I first thought tbh. Hoping Ianone is fast this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm exhausted from watching that. Great racing, shame Dani accidentally ruined Marc's plans for the last 2 laps but in the end the guy with the most wins won the championship. Removing all the politics, 99 has ridden impeccably and 46 was on the defensive from mid season with that resurgence. Without the wet weather issues it could have been done and dusted already with the same result. No comment on my choice of helmet earlier this year.

MRX Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Loving the bike mate, that looks amazing! MotoGP was a great race, dani came back so strong, thought he was going to do it! Shame Cal had issues too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I was gutted for Cal, I've yet to work out wtf happened on lap 1 as at one point he and Rossi were up to about 14/15 then he just disappeared again. not sure if he was on the spare bike or they fixed the race one. It's going to be an interested off season for MotoGp that's for sure. From the comments on the internet no one is going to watch anymore to see if Vale can come back and get the 10th next year. #everybodycalmthef##kdown.

Swampy442 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Great ride from Rossi, but we all know once Jorge gets out in front and into his rhythm, he's nearly impossible to catch. Closed season it will all blow over and ready for the start of the 2016 season. Also well done to Danny Kent, Moto 3 world champion, something a British rider hasnt said for a long time. He made a meal of it but got it done in the end. Olivera showed his class as a rider and a person today, big talent for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
