The Jorge Lorenzo v Marc Marquez thread

Suddenly, 21 is a front-runner? Hmmmmm.

 

Did crack-cocaine recently become legal in NYC???

 

Zarco and the maniac seem like they would do it, maybe petrucci... they just can't keep up with him to give it to him.

 

Puig sooo has a secret pee tape of Nakamoto... I see no other reason for him having such an authority over HRC.

 

you mean the one that he just got fixed and was fucked up all year and he still won the championship?

 

You should send them a sternly written letter chastising them for being unaware that Rossi actually has nine titles.

“Rossi has established himself as a MotoGP legend by winning seven titles, but has been unable to add to his championship tally since 2009.”

Oh that’s right, the article is talking about the premier class.

 

9 years without a title and he's still in the premier class, someone should tell him you're only as good as your last championship

 

IKR.
Yeah, DP with zero titles is an all time GP legend because, WINS.
While Rossi has been relegated to a has been status.
Uccio hate makes peeps be crazy.

 

You're still dancing on your own, I see. Meanwhile, there are still unanswered yes/no question last time I checked. Move on, try again next time.

 

Yes, that one

 

Oh I’ve answered and you know I have but you won’t or can’t accept it.
Better get writing that letter to them about Rossi’s actual championships.

 

that dude is terrible. he didn't even finish like 2 out of the last three races or something like that. pure rubbish.

 

That thread is still there. The yes/no question is still unanswered, even though it's followed by multiple George Costanza-like additions. So like last time, you may continue on your own. I know you can't stop when you're embarrassed. Go!

 

Im not saying he sucks. Im saying he if bumps it enough, the weakened/injured area will fail and a fix might not be possible the next time. Peak condition is critical at this level and riding around injuries is tough.

 

You on pain meds bro? Seriously.
You are the one making the silly assertion that I am unaware of how many total world championships Rossi has, even thou I stated it in this very thread a couple of post ago. While it’s pretty clear we were discussing, just like the article that you posted is, Follow Along - talking about the premier class only.

Yet you still can’t grasp it. But keep asking questions that have no relevance. Better get that letter out.

 

I’ll be contrarian here. I don’t think they’ll end up bitter rivals. I think they’ll be annoyed / pissed when the other guy shows them up, but unless Marc berms George I don’t think it’ll devolve into war. Jorge is catty but doesn’t really seem to hold a grudge as he just doesn’t give enough of a shit about other people to bother. He likes to do his talking on track. It’d also be politically unwise for him to go to war with Marc, that’s a fight I don’t see him winning. He’s no idiot.

Marc does his talking on track and doesn’t give a fuck when people fight him hard, and has the confidence of knowing he’s firmly entrenched at Honda. Jorge is going to rival and challenge him, not utterly dominate him. I don’t see an incentive for him to go to war either.

If Marc’s shoulder degrades and Jorge consequently ends up becoming clearly the dominant rider, I could see Team Marquiz going to war with Jorge to get back some juice with Honda.

I don’t see any advantage for Jorge to go to war with Marc in any scenario. He won’t gain more power fighting Marc in the office, only beating him on track. I think it’ll only happen if we see a greatly weakened Marc and a dominant Jorge. Assuming both sides are rational actors and they don’t start acting out because they’re pissed. A big assumption, granted.

 

his shoulder was a complete mess. He popped it out on a cool down lap. His shoulder was a mess all year and he won at the top level. Its fixed now,so he should be fine.

 

I still marvel that he ended up getting hired as team manager after they banished him. Some dirty dealings went on for Puig to make that happen.

 

I’m sorry, have we been watching the same Jorge ride for the last decade? You just described the exact opposite of what he really is/does.
