Let the real battle begin now . . . Clearly, Rossi's accusations were born out today. Had Marquez stayed up we probably would be accusing him of trying to take out Rossi (Lorenzo passed Marquez without issue). In the end, one way or the other, Marquez achieved his goal: help to prevent Rossi from winning the championship (We all know how race direction is leaning: On the same side as the "impartial" announcers LOL)
I'm completely in Rossi's corner on this!! 1st: MM didn't even fight when JLO came by 2nd: if you've got the pace to put the passes MM did on VR then you're sandbagging. It was clear MM was duffing VR put at every chance. 3rd: when you're on the outside...shit happens Lastly, no one would be cool with what MM was pulling every corner, not a Motogp racer, not a WERA or CCS racer. He wasn't fighting for the championship, or even position. He was just trying to stuff Rossi every chance he had. I like both riders but in this case MM got what he deserved. Btw if MM has a problem with this race Rossi can pull up plenty on clips with MM doing much worse(almost killing Wilort in Moto 2 comes to mind)
Still pissed that no matter how many races or championships he wins he'll never have the level of popularity that Val has attained. The Uccios are a passionate bunch.
Josh Brookes agrees with us as well. Josh Brookes @JoshBrookes · 33m33 minutes ago MM was riding like a dick to block VR. VR gave him looks of warning & MM didn't accept. You try ride on outside & catch, it's what happens
Watch the opening laps again. It's pretty clear what he was doing. He basically pulled over and parked to let Jlo through.
I don't care who wins the championship or who was in the wrong, but anyone who says rossi didn't kick marcs brake lever is BLIND!
WOW! could this season get any better!!!! WTF! insane! MARKY MARC got what he was asking for with that move. Still wrong of Rossi to do it. I actually think that MM ruined that race. Would have been nice to see Rossi and JLO race for the championship. Seriously, why did MM have to race him so hard. BS. JLO walking off the podium, not cool either.
MM Riding was clear, I am out of it but I am still in control and going to influence who wins the championship!
