iannone is in his own jail sentence you know the zuki is slow but even the suzuki team seems to have a look on their face like how the .... is Viñales going so fast on this bike. LOL
Viñales's has some serious talent

That's irrelevant, if there's a rider in front of you, it's your responsibility to pass them cleanly regardless of the line or speed that rider is going.

And even though JL was off his normal pace, I doubt that he changed his line by more than a few inches.

Gee, thanks for pointing that out (the obvious but not so obvious for Crazy Joe) and of course I agree it is the responsibility of there rider behind to pass cleanly...never said he was right to hit him, just commented on his comments. Like i said, interesting... key word "interesting" lol

Haha hilarious!

I still have high hopes for Crazy Joe, perhaps he's in the midst of crafting his persona, kind of like a 2 wheel intimidator.

Phl- That pic is funny! If you did that, nice work!

It seems to me AI made a simple miscalculation. Those that have spent a fair amount of time racing understand what it's like to know you're faster than the guy in front of you, but can't find a quick way around. At some point you may begin to get impatient and try to make something happen to move forward, forcing a move. It appears AI got caught off guard at the corner entry and being inside didn't give him anywhere to go. Despite his very late very hard braking to adjust, he made contact that didn't work out for either of them. Fortunately neither rider was seriously injured. There's a fine line between aggressive and out of control especially as fast as things happen in Moto GP. I would bet AI would be more patient in hindsight. I believe AI threw his hands up to say, "Why did you park there like that?" and JLo was throwing his arms up to say, "Why did you hit me?" Despite this unfortunate event what a great race!

I do believe that was the best GP race I have seen in many years, to see Rossi top the list in FP4 was hopeful. But then watching him drop back to 8th then come through the field was sublime. I would not be surprised if some one else was in the maniac's seat next race, GiGi was NOT HAPPY. It was also a mark of Rossi's sportsmanship that he went over and shook hands with MM in victory circle.

oh my god you rossi drones are pathetic. rossi didnt go over to marc marc extended his hand to rossi. if rossi wanted to show sportsmanship after PI and sepang he would have done so way earlier maybe on the podium after the first 2 races. maybe say something in passing but that never happened.

Great race. It's funny how MarkNY is nowhere to be found whenever Rossi wins. Mark you can come out of your moms basement now... It's ok.

Viniales will be a monster in the yammy next year!

^^^This. I just finished watching the recorded race and Iannone was immediately pissed off at JLo and making mad Italian arm gestures at him while his ass was still burning from the slide sitting in the runoff area. I wondered how the hell Crazy Joe could be pissed at JLo for that and then read above, makes total sense.

I don't hang out anymore but had to come on here to see what the hell MarkNY could possibly say about his boy-crush MM93 not decimating The GOAT on the last couple of laps. Somebody should do a welfare check on him since he hasn't shown up yet, he might have stroked out!

What can you say about The GOAT? He's right back to his old formula: ...... qualifying, scything through the pack, and generally making everybody look foolish as he wins by a mile. All for the love of the game...

orat has never qualified well for the simple fact that up until 2008 he never had to . with all the advantages his bikes have always had he could concentrate on race set up and not worry about qualifying. its one thing to be a rossi fan. its another to be so totally wrong about the mans history.
if you are a race fan that likes rossi im all good with that. if you are a rossi fan that will leave motogp when he retires and deny the facts when they are in your face youre a clown.

So Iannone will start last next race but Lorenzo say it's not enough....

Lorenzo wants automatic Championship this year because he is slower than Rossi. If MotoGP don't go with what he wants then he will complain and act like a little bitch all year...wait he always been little bitch so status quo. Hah!

i guess lorenzo being slower than rossi makes sense since he is still ahead of him on points thats logic right there

written elsewhere but the point is whats important. ill try and find the article
Reconciliation? Let's not get ahead of ourselves

Rossi's victory over Márquez, on a weekend overshadowed by Salom's death, helped start the first steps of a reconciliation between the two riders. Or rather, change their relationship from one of pure, unadulterated hatred to more workable dislike. Since Sepang, Rossi has been consumed by hatred of Márquez. Márquez, in turn, was hurt and angered by Rossi's comments in the press conference in Sepang, and distressed by the opprobrium which has been heaped upon him since Rossi turned his sights upon him.

Márquez had suffered under the weight of all that hatred, and had wanted to return to at least some kind of cordiality in the relationship, though he had no illusions – and probably no desire – to rekindle any kind of friendship. Rossi, though, had been implacable. When the two men encountered each other waiting in corridors to go into press conferences, or when they had to share a podium, Márquez kept his distance, and Rossi would not even look at Márquez, he blanked him completely.

That changed a little in parc fermé. Marc Márquez came over to Rossi to offer his hand, and for the first time since Sepang, Rossi accepted it. There was an acknowledgement that the current situation was untenable, but the reconciliation is far more practical than anything else. When asked about this in the press conference, Rossi answered, "last night I think that we need to stay quiet, to stay relaxed, because it’s a great sport. This is a great sport, it’s our passion, but it’s also dangerous. So I think a normal behavior and normal feeling with the other riders is also helpful for stay more quiet and stay more concentrated."

No mention of forgiveness, but things are too far gone for that now. Rossi's hatred of Márquez is undiminished, but he is prepared to come to an accommodation, a coexistence with the Spaniard. His energy can go into his racing, for though a healthy hatred of rivals can help to motivate a rider, they have to be careful not to let it consume them. This is the point which Rossi seems to have reached. It will only make him more competitive.

Mark, stop making a point when only fits you. Rossi was leading on points all season last year and you consistently were in denial. When someone bring that fact like you just did, you tried to say something like Lorenzo was first last race etc etc. which is same here. Come on man...Be consistent and don't be a hypocrite if that is possible for you.

if you pull up what i was saying last year young r and you can ask mike b i said JLO would win last year would you like to wager on a rossi championship? doesnt have to be anything big at all not something like 1000 bucks or anything. we can do something small a hat a jacket think of something

i got it young r next years moto gp subscription

I still think it was intentional...

There is nothing worse that a rhetorical last word freak that drinks while at the key board.

ROS, vs JLO,

- Give Rossi 25 points back for Mugello, he had a blown engine, but prior to that, i honestly think he had better pace than JLO

- Give 11 points back to JLO for Catalunya, if AI didn't spear him and waited patiently to pass, JLO would've finished 5th at best.

Rossi would be leading the championship right now. I wrote him off before, but what he did in the last year and a half really impressive considering his age. He seems to excel at the worst, challenging conditions. Showing a lot of versatility and skills.

I think this past race highlighted one of Rossi's greatest strengths - adaptability. They changed the track after the horrendous incident with Salom. It seemed that most riders were having difficulty with the revised, tight configuration - esp knowing the track is usually a flowing configuration. MM seemed to be doing ok, but jLo definitely was not feeling it. Add in the heat and issues with tires dropping off and the race unfolded accordingly - sans the AI torpedo. Rossi on the other hand, come race day, managed to adapt better than the rest of the field - evidenced by his performance. I think this will continue to be a deciding factor for the remainder of this season and his career.

Complete and total change of subject to avoid admitting your hypocrisy.

Last year you would constantly bring up the fact that Lorenzo was faster than Rossi, despite Rossi's lead in the championship. Now, when it is mentioned that Rossi has a faster pace, you somehow resort to using Lorenzo's point lead.

You are taking a stance that you attacked in the past and using it as legitimate and skirting around your obvious hypocrisy.

IF, as YOU NOW SUGGEST, the championship leader describes who is the better rider at the moment, why the posts about how Rossi didn't deserve the lead, couldn't beat J-LO or Marquez in the dry, etc?
