I guess it's so rare he wins one that the website has to promote it. Just like nick Harris said when it started to rain. Oh no not now hahaha this is truly pathetic. Yet the blue flags not coming out weren't done on purpose yea right.
Remember the corner works don't wave the blue flag without race directions approval first.

First it was written by jumkie over at motogp I neber said I wrote it clearly stayed in the first sentence.
Second it's been proven ad FACT that rossi doesn't vote based on what he prefers but rather what will hurt the competition the most.
Third Obama supporters and the crying Hillary supporters do the same thing so let's leave that somewhere else.
Hey maybe the Russians ruined the tires

Those pesky Russians, always up to no good.

I don't think it's a 'proven fact' , it's just common sense to choose what is best for you over the other riders. Saying he would choose something he did not like is ridiculous as he's not going to win on something slow is he?

They obviously did not wave them for Rossi either and he managed to not get held up. Perhaps it was luck of the timing?

I'd love to see Petrucci win. The great thing about the narrow operating windows of the Michelin tyres is there is now less advantage to the factory riders with all their data analysis engineers and the satellite teams have a real chance of winning.

Yes I said that in the opening. That I didn't write it but agrees with it. FYI the rules state that the flags come from race direction not the Marshall's so race direction did not tell the Marshall's to wave the blue flag. I wonder why

It smacks more of sour grapes, as opposed to a factual account of what is happening behind closed doors at Dorna. Petrux aside, Vinales threw it away all by himself, or maybe the OP thinks that was orchestrated as well. I'd like to keep an open mind on it, but when it comes to racing, tend to source any "gossip" from reliable independant sources such as professional journalists. Here is one such example from Matt Oxley, who has been involved in the industry since the late 80's. I'm not claiming it's gospel (no opinions ever are) but I would put more credence into it than the rantings on a forum.

I?m (almost) speechless | Motor Sport Magazine

Matt Oxley is an excellent writer. You could say he is biased since he has a very close relationship with Rossi since writing his excellent Bio (well worth a look for anyone into bike racing) but a read of any of his very well reasoned pieces like the one you linked shows a fair appraisal.

It's a fact rossi said it himself. He votes for the softest front because that tire would slowdown the competition the most. This was during the Ducati years

That's not quite true. In certain circumstances perhaps because he knows the Hondas all work better on a harder tyre, but Rossis own strength over others on similar bikes like Maverick or Lorenzo in the past is his strength in braking as can be seen by his many passes after the main staights at both Mugello and Assen so he also benefits from a stiffer carcass.

I dont know if they used it at Assen but Rossi, Maverick and Marquez all benefited from the assymetric tyre they tested after Barcelona.

Edit - just seen you say the Ducati years; I'm guessing at that time he would certainly do anything possible to get an edge over the competition as he was struggling so much. I dont think it made much difference anyhow, these little advantages only really count when things are very close like they are in the championship at the moment, but there doesn't seem to be a clear cut advantage that Rossi can choose over the competition anyhow as things change so much between tracks and weather conditions. The Yamaha this year with the Michelin tyres seems to prefer hard at one track and soft at another, whereas the Honda pretty much always wants comparatively harder tyres.

i have this sneaking suspicion that Marktard is a closet Hitlery supporter after all; all these excuses and wild conspiracy theories for why GOAT46 schools his fellow racers:

Also I've been bashing rossi since 2012 no surprise rossi supporters are like a cult.

Trump won the popular vote actually -- the illegals and 2x, 3x voters and other dem fraud skewed that number out. so, there's that. what we want here is a kind of travel ban/wall for trolls like yourself.
 
King troll calling me a troll and while I would agree on the popular vote thing there is no evidence of how many actually voted. I'll just use the baseball analogy. If you score more total runs during the world series but lose all the other games 2-1 you don't get the ring. Besides vast I'd I left you may off yourself

I still remain sceptical of the OP's somewhat idealistic conspiracy theory to engineer the championshp & keep Rossi's title hopes alive, or that Carmelo is somehow masterminding the whole thing. Moreover if this was obvious enough to the OP, then with the greatest of respect, the journalists and the media/press at large, would have picked up on this way before now.
