Argument coming through is that the yellow was for no reason. JLo isn't trackside to make that decision though
I wonder wether or not the marshal was just waving a yellow 46 flag when he saw JLo going for an overtake [emoji23]
Gif circulating FB page of Fast Bike Magazine showing MM sticking his head on VR left knee and VR is kicking him away which causes the crash.
MotoGP Race Director explains Rossi punishment | MotoGP 0 Race direction believe Marquez deliberately dropped back and slowed rossi's pace.
I really,really try to like Lorenzo...but then he does something like this and my enthusiasm for him just evaporates. At the post-race interview,he had a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle....completely oblivious to the fact that every word he said sounded like,"why am I not leading the Championship now and why doesn't any one like me mwah mwah mwah..." Pedrosa,(for whom I have a genuine admiration and a desire for him to win at least one world championship before he retires),was the absolute example of diplomacy and professionalism...still wearing his leathers,answering every question clearly without trying to apportion blame....and even a touch of humour...
Just watched it in slow motion and it clearly shows Marquez leaning on Rossi and going with his helmet on Rossis knee slider
That footage shows more than anything who initiated events. MM is being a twat and had been for several laps. I did think VR was having a bit of an unsporting whinge about MM previous to the race...now though? Maybe there is a Lorenzo/Marquez bromance. After seeing the extra footage, BT sport didnt seem to pick up on very well, Im thinking the rear grid start is unfair on Rossi now.
Im still a Rossi fan!!!!!! Fuck marquez got what he deserved didnt put up a fight when lorenzo passed him hes playing silly games what a clown hes been dangerous all year and should have stayed out of the championship battle What happens next hope they dont gift the championship to lorenzo what a crazy weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rossi has lost the plot. It's about being faster than the guy behind you. Serves him right if he doesnt win his 10th world championship.
When all is said and done, I hope VR and Pedrosa do well in the next race. VRs team 'mate' (lol) can go suck some more lemons. MM should butt out. Done enough damage to the end of season proceedings. Hope he does some growing up for next year as the kid is a real talent, just seems to make a lot of contact and lunges over the last two seasons and he is good enough not to need that. Looking at Pedrosa and his new found pace, MM is looking a bit pedestrian on the same bike...or is he riding as a blocker? Got to start and wonder, I think Rossi has a real point.
Thats the championship fried then hoorgaay wins rossi to start at the back of the grid when does Macau start
Marquez is a bit of a dick, it's not just the rossi incident, look how he's gone through his moto2 and motogp career to date. He's always ridden dangerously and never given a rats ass about his fellow riders. He's an immensely talented rider but I think he's a dick, I think he's a smarmy little prick and had many a blind eye turned to benefit To be honest the more I see of this incident today the more I have to side with rossi, if it wasn't rossi and was someone else id think exactly the same. He pulled some stupid close moves on his overtaking, block passes galore and was clearly just trying to antagonise and piss about. As race direction have said it's not against the rules but questionable in terms of the spirit of the championship. If Jorge wins the championship then that's good on him as he's supremely talented and relentless in his accurate laps, the problem is that I think Marquez has almost ruined it for either lorenzo or rossi now as people will always throw in the 'what if' thing.
Lorenzo already looking for a new helmet deal, extra large size helmet required, to fit his already over sized ego.
