It is clear to me everyone has turned on MM because Rossi was involved...i suspect it would have been a diffrent story if it would if it had been Lorenzo...didnt we like Simmo because he was a hard rider prepered to get stuck in.
If Rossi had purposefully ran me out wide and the options were cat litter or lean in, I would be leaning in. It was an underhand trick as far as I am concerned. Some say MM could have slowed down and cut inside, no way. He would not have known what dirty trick Rossi was playing until it was too late. Easy comparison, reverse the incident to MM running Rossi off track, would we be saying it was Rossi's fault? All the VR46 merchandising is brainwashing the worlds population! :Arghh:
doesn't bear thinking about if roles were reversed! MM would have been blackflaged and everyone would have been saying even that was to lenient.. he would have been hung drawn and quarted by the Rossi mob
The 916 fits but wasn't ideal so I am currently modifying specifically for the ST2,3 and4 Prototype is underway
Latest I heard is that VR got dog sh*t on his boot and tried to scrape it off on MM bars. MM realising what it was, jammed on the brakes and went down. When VR referred to little sh*t he meant on his boot not MM. All perfectly innocent and didn't need 43 pages of banter to work out. Do I get a free set of cables for solving it Exige ?
Oh no, i have turned the thread into an EXIGE marketing zone again :Banghead: Maybe rossi's cheap battery cables sticking out of the fairing jammed on MM's bike?
not turned on MM myself.. I am a huge fan of both of em. would love to see rossi win his tenth and then bow out gracefully (as much as i'd miss him) and ive said in many posts id be happy to see MM go on to be a rossi or better... i just think there is equal blame. He did have options and shouldnt be trying to effect the outcome of a championship that he no longer has a chance of winning (whether he blames rossi for that or not). Agree with some of what 1950 said in that it is good to see some riders going against the grain (even if a lil unsportsmanlike). at least we know that with rossi's eventual departure there are at least some with a pulse in the paddock.. cant wait till we see Vinales on a competitive package... then we should see some fire works.
Put Miller on a competitive bike,there would be major hissy fits then,go on Jarvis sign him up please.
I think there will be fireworks at Valencia There will be a few who move aside/let Rossi through,either through a sense of fair play or because they don't want to be vilified by his fans,(with a possible consequent effect on future merchandise sales). Might even be one or two who decide to give him a helping hand through the pack... if they've been beaten up by Marquez in the past,they won't owe him any favours. Same goes for those who've suffered at Rossi's hands of course. The bookies aren't giving anything away,it's still pretty even odds for both Rossi and Lorenzo winning the Championship. Jeez this is going to be a long week...
lets see how he gets on at VDS and if he can beat his team mate Tito first. be interesting to see how he does against Cal as well since he wont be on an open class next year. should be some good battles coming
who would want to be the one accused of preventing Rossis progress,,,,,,,,,,if smithy does not move over i will never support him again,, tbh,, smithy may well be the first rider that has the speed to be a threat but if he does catch him from that far back then obv he will be going well and i doubt if smithy will play Might shit Mouse games..
knob head maybe but a talented one... worst night mare... another smarmy aussie running at the sharp end
Load of bollox,isnt that as bad...if he istn fast enough to win without everyone letting througb then he doesnt deserve it...hes been on the back foot for the second half of the season once lorenzo got into gear.
