You don't have to be a "Rossi Fanatic" to boo MM, he totally disrespected the championship and its fans, supporters/sponsers, his team mate and Honda in 2015. He did this out of personal vindictiveness and spite. This is the other side of having technically brilliant, highly skilled youngsters come in at the highest level of any sport. They lack any kind of maturity, respect or appreciation for the solemnness and responsibility of the sport, it's history and traditions.

are you remotely serious with this comment or just trolling. what did marquez do that was wrong in 15? please explain this. only a VALEban would say something so ridiculous and stupid. the only people that disrespected anything was rossi and his camp by making false accusations to cover up why their rider sucks without advantages. bottom line is if rossi was better he would have passed marquez and nothing would have happened. he couldnt and he started a bunch of nonsense. then yamaha kissed his butt by not having a party. the sore loser wouldn't go to the awards AND he didnt show up at the press confrerence. total lack of class
Lets recap 2015.
rossi was leading but couldnt put away lorenzo. why cause he isnt good enough to win races and the excuses would have to follow.
then ucco made up a story that marquez was sand baging a race he won AND if you recall rossi lost to iaonne on the last lap so was that marquez fault too? then it was marquez fault that rossi wasnt fast enough in sepang slowed on the racing line waited for MM and drove him all the way wide all the while blowing any chance to win the championship.
finally with all the help in valencia a gifted rossi got to start at the back of the grid instead of being black flagged at sepang to even stay in the race for valencia and couldnt do it. even with riders moving out of his way.

remember he could have beaten danny at aragon , he could have held off iaonne but couldnt he could have won a race or 2 more during the season when MM was crashing or JLO was having bad luck he couldnt. It was JLO that won 4 in a row. rossi just cant win those are facts'

a few more facts about the 2015 season concerning lorenzo
led in points, pols, laps led, victories, and every other meaningful category that is why he won the 2015 championship NOT because of some story that marquez who won the Australian gp caused rossi not to win in 2015. Rossi caused Rossi not to win in 2015.

I just don't think I can blame Rossi for his fans behavior . plus the sea of day glow yellow doesn't represent anything other than a few people who are misguided and a lot drunk.

Rossi might be washed up , but you didnt see him crying about a little rubbing, in fact he seemed to still be having fun.


I don't know why people act like they know or hate the racers - never understood that stuff.


best race of the year . MM deserves this championship

ok its not rossi fault his fans boo but cheer a downed rider come on enough is enough. who cheers a rider crashing. i dont i want to see rossi finish every race last but never want to see him crash. this could have been nipped in the bud a long time ago. a few races ago when JLO crashed rossi fans cheered. in the press conference MM said my fans would never cheer a crashed rider. all Rossi would have to do is say to his fans. Valeban it is not right you cheer a crashed rider and it would stop. booing on the podium while is harmless.

i saw it first hand the Valeban care nothing about racing they are all about Rossi. he crashed in 2016 at Cota they left. he crashed 2 or 3 laps in they missed the entire race.

Anywho MM 2017 world champ.

as i said in my first post on this thread 46 was entertaining. maybe he knows hes done cant win and was mixing it up. rossi himself i could care less about he is never a threat to win a race nevermind a championship, and sometimes in press events like Australia he is funny.

Look, Mark's back.

Funny, when he was away, we didn't talk about Rossi at all.

And booing makes you any more mature?
There is NO proof to suggest MM did anything to actively hinder a specific competitor in 2015. Nothing to prove it any more than the accusations that VR kicked MM in Sepang. The argument that MM went after Rossi and he didn't do his fastest laps already at lap 5 is just pure nonsense when it's widely known MM chooses the hardest front tire he can get, and it takes time to get up to working temps. "Disrespected the championship" by winning races? He's employed by Honda to win races. Championship contender or not. And to repeat the statement from just a few lines up: Saying he didn't race to win in Malaysia by judging how he fought for position on lap 5 isn't proof of anything other than sub optimal tire temps, since we know how the hard tires work.

When Marc was banned this Racing forum went dead lol.

MotoGP?

“If you don’t want to play the game, stay at home"

Just a side note. i dont know if the owner of this site gets paid for it or not, but if he does the main draw is traffic aka page views.

love me or hate me i create page views which is beneficial for the vendors on this site as well as any advertising that goes on here.

all my rossi stuff is in the racing forum and nobody is forcing anyone to read any of it. if you are such a snowflake to complain well i dont know what to tell you. if you cant handle your boy is washed up again i dont know what to tell you. if you are all about ducati thats fine too there are plenty of sections on here that cater to that where i either comment or offer something i may know.

anywho happy racing and lets raise a glass to the 2017 6x world champ Marc Marquez. after sepang my peeps on here can call, text, or email me. i will return in march for qatar and hopefully meet some of you fine people in TX.

PS Marc Marquez will win it again next year too.

back to the show anyway read this very interesting


MotoGP Australia: Redding defends late Dovizioso move | News


just one thing to say about this. i thought the dash was suppose to be for race conditions and safety

guess that was a lie and was really about one rider needing help.

Marc is probably the favorite going into 2018 but if Yamaha can improve and Dovi can stay on form, things could get interesting again.

Some of these younger satellite guys (Zarco, Miller, Petrux....) need factory bikes before they get too old.

did you guys watch the presser event when dorna announced michilin will be the tire supplier for the next however many years.

i cant believe i forgot to mention this. michilin basically said they will continue to manipulate the tires to keep things "fair" enhance the show. we all know what that means. it means keep Rossi artificially competitive.

well if one rider would retire already you would have zarco on the M1.

i recon with Jorge gone from yamaha the development of that bike is over. i mean look at the 18 chasis. Maverick has yet to give any real input and what he does say isnt even looked at. so much for a certain riders development skills i mean look at how well ducati did with him

Good to see the utter ........ being posted again - I'm not sure if it's being brain dead and a tool or trolling, or a combination. Either way - garbage!

Perfect example of Marc getting associated and blamed for comments like this, made by others. You're fueling the fire when you could just accept a difference of opinion and find some humor in the way Marc comes across.

Just a thought to consider, but I'm not your therapist so...meh.

valeban makes no difference to me nw1299. notice i said this a while back the ones that attack me personally have like 4 posts. all they do is name call. they all message each other someone is bashing rossi go sign up and defend/ i wouldnt doubt if its 1 guy with 5 names on here.

whats garbage i ask you mr valeban. that your rider has avg 1 race win a year since 2010? that when he is the lead man the development of the bike stops. that after his "persuading" for tires, chasis, rule changes, dash messages, et al does him no good?

that mark is the fastest man ever to 100 podiums? that marc is already at title 6?

or are you mad that MM said that he ran this race like 2015 and you were but hurt like uccio was in park ferme?

instead of being a keyboard warrior why dont you post some facts or stats or something and please dont go back to 2001 where i could have one on the honda.

Whatever else you want to say about MM he understands the importance of putting on a show, he could clear off, but he doesn't he mixes it up hard with the fellas. Roberts used to do the same thing in the AMA road races, he would hang out for a few laps "race " with the boys. Then put his knee down and leave, come back around and race with some more even though he had the field a lap down, for the show.
I wish Johnny Rea would figure that out, because his WSBK dominance is stinking up the show in Superbike.
