Had the officials done their job properly at the start MM would have started from a different position or been black flagged for riding in the wrong direction and the Rossi incident would never have happened.
Espargaro joins the discussion. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/893417/1/espargaro-blasts-pramac-contact-statement#comments
Got it downloaded on the iPad, ready to give it another watch on the commute (train commute, on the bike tomorrow).
Yes, I avoided this thread: but saw the Kamikaze picture on FB so dropped it on here without reading anything - and only had a peek after the race tonight - otherwise I would have had to burn my @chizel hat, slippers and long johns
Trouble is, if Marques starts at the front, you just know he will shoot round quick smart to try and lap the other riders just so he can boot em off on the way through. He even tried attacking the mechanics but it backfired
Watched it again tonight.. was another great race despite the fuck tard winning. Feel most sorry for miller as the rest of the field should have been made to start on the rubber they selected and changed during the race as per normal...that was a farce..
Bloke can ride when he stays on, fast as fook...ball is in his court, and most of them are fuck tards, that's motor sport in general at the highest level a lot of rich kids or handed the opportunity on a plate, I like cal but I'm English so I'm a bit biased ....fuck em all, the fella is quick falls off gets back on and repeat...always trying that will do me.
v80 11 Apr 2018 12:04 "The bigger picture are MM is one of the rider who deny VR tenth champion. And his fans belive anything he says. "Destroying the sport" is one of them. VR really thinks he is the sport." The above comment from another forum sums it up perfectly IMO I stopped supporting VR after an incident 2006 lost all respect for him, today I think the only word to fully describe him is Megalomaniac From the Oxford english dictionary {megalomania noun [ U ] uk /ˌmeɡ.əl.əˈmeɪ.ni.ə/ Unnaturally strong wish for power and control, The belief that you are very much more important and powerful than you really are} MM should be applauded for bringing some excitment back to the sport, agree he needs to calm down a bit, but given that similar incidents in the other classes went unpunished, given that the overall organisation of the race was a shambles and an uncharacteristic stall on the grid, suspect many of us getting pissed off and with a big shot of adrenalin might have been equally impatient.
VR is the sport to be honest, perhaps not as much as in his heyday but I suspect a large part of his wages are helped unofficially by dorma to keep his input. Weird to tie Rossi and Crutchlow, but Crutchlow is a bit like Foggy, definately a marmite character but there is no doubt interest in wsb went into the toilet when foggy left and has never fully recovered. I suspect the same will happen with moto gp when Rossi leaves
I don't think Rossi has a championship in him now MM or not personally. Whilst I agree a bit of argy bargy is part of racing and they have all done it Rossi included, I have never witnessed so much over 1 weekend by the same rider. Heat of battle is one thing but there were complaints of him barging in free practice as well from Vinales. I thought the collision with Rossi was the least dangerous of the clashes albeit with the worst outcome but still a bit OTT considering how much faster MM was. There was no need. I suspect the reason Rossi is more vocal is because he can afford to be. He will end his career at Yamaha, contract signed and has nothing to lose. Espagaro etc will not being seeing their future at Aprilia so won't want to burn any bridges by calling MM out or making a big fuss like Rossi has. Both Rossi and MM are a bit like british banks, too big to fail as far as Dorna are concerned because they sell most of the tickets. Hence they will never seriously sanction either.
