I left auto rider movement on. I don't know how anyone could turn that off without turning on another assist (such as auto transmission) to free up some fingers.

This is what Giacomo Agostini told the Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport, about the incident: "Valentino fell into Marquez's game that this time was smarter than him. He should have expected such a reaction: Marc had nothing to lose. They passed and re-passed each other thousands of times. You cannot fall into this trap, you cannot do this maneuver, going so wide, especially if you are Valentino Rossi. What happens in a racer's mind in those moments? I'm convinced that Valentino was angry, exhausted and frustrated, but until that turn it had been a great fight. But Valentino was surprised. He is a great professional. In his place, I also would have been very angry with Marquez, who provoked and exasperated him."
Agostini added: "If you look back, when it was about winning, Valentino has never been soft with his rivals, just think of Casey Stoner or Sete Gibernau. You cannot condemn a rider like Marquez who is putting up a show.
guess this Agostini guy doesnt know what he is talking about. wonder who he is
Agostini? pfft, probably some dude who Rossi beat way back in the 125cc days and is still bitter. Never heard of him.
The opinion and parallel (that Rossi is hard on his rivals) is accurate, but ONLY IF Marquez was who Rossi was fighting with for the championship, or even just fighting for that day's race win. If it were Marquez vs Rossi for the championship, then the exact same riding we saw is cast in a different light, and Rossi would NOT have lost his cool; he would have done his thing - skulk behind, waiting to pounce decisively.
And so what Agostini missed was that Marquez is not a current rival to Rossi. And to be impeded in such a manner, with such aggressive passes, IN THE CONTEXT THAT MARQUEZ IS NOT REMOTELY IN THE RUNNING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, yeah, that's going to get into a lot of people's heads.

This is 1299.com and we always talk about other things in the wrong threads. Your point is?
By the way the only dead horse here is Rossi and he has not been beaten half enough yet.

He does have a girls name, but seriously as a racer dad he has done a most excellent job. Both of his sons world champions last year! As a racer dad myself I can only doff my hat to him, and know that for him there is only ONE point of view, my kid is always right no mater what the .... happens, and I'll .... anyone up who says different.
But also you have to teach your kid to race in a sustainable manner, you can't tear your .... up, and piss everyone off all the time, it makes it hard to finish races.

With an appeal it also opens the door for a harsher (and more just sentence) which I most sincerely hopes happens.

Rossi is not at risk for a more harsh penalty. Motomatters just posted a breakdown of everything that can happen with the appeal.

His reaction was hilarious though, I used to watch it to cheer myself up until Dorna had it blocked

Brilliant, this gives everyone a way to let the 2015 Championship run it's course. If Jorge wins the 2015 title because Rossi had to start at the back it will be a shallow tainted victory at best. I'm sure Jorge would take it anyway he can get it, preferably with Rossi banned from the race. But the fans and the championship deserve the full monte.
