Why come to the "Racing" subforum if you don't have an interest for competition/sport?

I love MotoGP and racing.
I don't necessarily love the individual men. I can see taking a preference, but some of the infatuation and adoration for other grown men is a bit odd. I guess it is worse on Twitter when I see people threatening bodily harm to others when they don't love their prized man as much as they do.

we've all probably ridden with a guy like him. he shows up to rides, sometimes with gear, sometimes not. his bike's a bit tatty, and he rides so on the edge you swear it's just a matter of time, and not much time, before this squid kills himself. but season after season, the ....... keeps showing up, and you still cringe when you watch him fly through corners way too fast with the bike wiggling under him...but you can never, ever, keep up with him.
That's what I figure a ride with Marquez would be like.

let whoregay go to honda and get pedrosa to yamaha. let see mm and whoregay still can keep up their bromance.
Won't happen. Rossi is nearing the end of his career and Lorenzo is the faster of the 2. They'd only let him go if they felt someone faster was available. With respect to Dani I think Lorenzo is quicker on the Yam, don't see Marquez going either. So Yamaha are stuck with him.

yeah that is the logic...kinda like Repsol saying they might pull out the sponsor because of this...probably won't happen either.
Lorenzo "do" have more years but Rossi did beat him last year and maybe this year...although he probably has 3 more years? and by then some young superstar will arrive to replace them all?
Who knows.

The same way the rumor started that Jorge barged his way into race direction and began screaming at them when he heard of their decision to only send VR to the back of the grid at Valencia.

Now I think this could be true. I am reading articles regarding this now.
"Jorge Lorenzo sided with Marc Marquez and HRC in claiming that the entire blame for the Honda rider's crash belongs to Rossi. Lorenzo left the podium as soon as the awards were handed and, in an unprecedented manner, simply refused to take part in the traditional champagne battle.
Making things even stranger, Lorenzo openly declared that Rossi's three-point penalty was too small, considering what he did. Yamaha's boss Lin Jarvis, whose declarations after the Race Direction decision and rejected appeal were as calm and moderate as they get, did not take kindly to JL99's belligerent mood.
Jorge Lorenzo's disrespectful discourse and attitude may cost him his job at Yamaha, rumor has it. Lin Jarvis would rather did not have JL99 involved in the fray."
Rumour mill in overdrive IMO. I'm sure Yamaha aren't happy with Lorenzo & I'm sure comments have been made but I'll be amazed if anyone from Yamaha has talked of ditching him for next year. I could be wrong though!
Lorenzo on a full factory supported customer Honda, DO IT!
Will be quite some time before Yamaha will find a rider able to JLO and MM both on factory Honda's.
Yamaha has no decent riders in the slot from other series to step up either.. In wsbk they hire Guintolli for 2016 WTF?

why would Lorenzo throw a fit? Because he's scared, that's why. He's not confident that he can win the championship, even if he starts from pole and Rossi starts from the rear.
What Whore-gay demanded was that Rossi be stripped of all race points from Sepang. That would put Lorenzo in a 9 point advantage going into Valencia and make it a far less stressful race for him.
Boy, if Lorenzo got fired, who would win races for Yamaha? Umm, maybe the other guy on the team? How many wins and podiums did he score in the past year?
You know who I'd be taking a very hard look at, if I were Lin Jarvis. Jonathan Rea. Smooth riding style, conserves the tires. His riding style would go very well with the M1. He's fast. Won a few races, I heard. And when he sat in on Honda's MotoGP bike one weekend, he wasn't exactly slow, so he'd adapt quickly.

even people make a way for rossi to get let say.. top 6 position ... watch mm93 will move back to where rossi is and he will crash or at least try to crash rossi out.... i got a feeling... then mm will say his tires were cold and slowing down on purpose until it gets "warmer"
