Didn't expect that. Good result, standing by FIM and not bowing to vr posse. VR still has good chance of title I think. If he puts this behind him, and concetrate on race pace the jl3rd+vr6th result is doable. I'm rooting for Jorge but if VR does it from the back of grid it will be even sweeter for him and he'll regain some respect that a lot of his fans have lost.
A very helpful if rather speculative description of the states of mind and intentions of the participants in the incident, so thanks @gliddofglood . Because of the way Marquez was riding, Rossi may have come to believe that one or other or both of them were certain to go down soon. Rossi may have thought that it would be better and safer for this to be at low speed on a slow corner with lots of run off, rather than dangerously at 150 mph or more. So he actually managed to bring this about by finding a way to bring matters to a head at very low speed. That does not look like "irresponsible riding" to me - quite the reverse.
I think Iannone should be charged with riding irresponsibly for headbutting that seagull at Phillip Island, as it could have very easily landed on the racing line
loz speaking now.. apologizing for his gesture on the podium apart from that he has nothing to say.. as to his comments in sapang that was there this is now... he is looking foward to his future with yamaha. vale starting from the back doesnt change his race strategy at all. relationship with rossi next year will be the same ..
No problem, I'll happily wait until the grid lines up on Sunday afternoon if you prefer. What do you think Rossi's next course of action will be then, if you think it's not over? Can he appeal this? And if you post multiple times about winning the bet before you have, you have to expect me to find that funny. If I find any more, I may have a chuckle at those too. I was never nervous as It's only £10 It's for charity The circumstances changed since I made the bet as the appeal was lodged afterwards. But I was prepared to take this on the chin and pay up if the decision was changed. If it changes again before the race, I'll happily pay up.
FFS, it's the crap smileys you are using :Arghh: don't be so lazy the truth may still out by race day :Angelic:
exactly... unless he's saying something of mucho importantos in Hispaniola he was quite right about having nothing to say..
hmm. it wasnt.. he seems in very good spirits no fireworks or wild claims. he too doesnt want to talk any further bout last race. he did when ask say he regretted running wide and not running his normal line but other than that no regrets... he does genuinely seem happy and laughing, change of meds maybe?
Blimey, give Chris a Drama Queen and get 10 back in return - fikin Drama Christine the Queen Drama Queen :Watching: :Wideyed:
This sounds like a political decision that covers the maximum number of rears and in the long run will probably be acceptable to the greatest number of people. However, I think that the FIM and Dorna are the winners here and that they have been let off lightly after making a bad decision based upon bad rules that were poorly implemented.
Who said that?! Lol wasn't aimed at you fella The question was asked and I gave the info I have. He wasn't touring so no, no breach of rule. But MGP have different rules so no idea.
Now that's funny! We need a 'what a load of shite' button adding to the menu bar. It would have had a good hammering on this thread.
