the talk is starting

Again Im not a VR fan and never claimed to be. Mark has a vlid point from the performance perspective and has acknowledge the financial implications as well. My point again is that it's not just VR. Look at Hayden (not disrespect intended, this is a discussion independent of the circumstances) Hayden was on multiple "factory" teams with zero shot at winning anything for years and that 2006 season was a gift. Worse, (and I love this guy) Collin Edwards on Factory Yamaha. 196 starts, zero wins. Again Pedrosa and if you're not going to give the financial nod as "viable" in retaining Rossi then you shouldn't factor some "connection" to retaining Pedrosa. He has to go as well. Also by this logic, Biaggi should have never been on a factory bike but for some reason Yamaha thought otherwise. I also like Ben Spies but regardless of the sabotage theory, he was never going to win a GP championship yet got the factory ride.

I don't think Rossi can be definitively ruled out of a 10th for the remainder of this season or next. And at this point I don't think there's a clear favorite. Factory Honda has had power issues, factory Yamaha has been caught out the last few races, factory Ducati has won the last two. This would be unheard of two seasons ago. Throw in Petrux, Zarco etc and that adds a whole other level.

If there is any consistency this season it's that there is none.

How do u make up points people? U have to win or consistently beat your competition baring crashes how is he making up 28 points on maverick hell if marquez doesnt crash anymore I'd say he won't catch marquez. Why do I say that? Because marquez consistently finishes better than rossi if he finishes a race. How do I know this because he is ahead of rossi AND gave away 50 points already.

You're poll means nothing never has never will. Wambulance lib crybaby can't debate so try and silence never happen. If rossi is competitive he may win. Bet me. Of course you would Welch that's the type of person you are

Agree - past performance counts but it would be foolish to ignore what we've seen so far this season.

Honda won last year and Rossi took second overall - hardly out of contention IMO.

Again- I'm with you in that it's looking less likely that Rossi will take a tenth. But I don't think he can be 1000% ruled out.
