MotoGP | 2024 | Silly Season

I know you guys are just busting balls and I agree but the entire kicked MM off his bike was bullshit and I’m still amazed MM actually crashed the bike for the reaction… I mean he’s the best crasher ever too as well as the most talented ever but still…

maybe it’s not normal but back in my day we had some serious contact, clean racing but sometimes it happened… one of my toughest competitors and good friend said in our podium interview “you’d be surprised how hard we can hit each other without knocking each other down” Years of hard full contact racing and we never took each other out

 

Marc is a master crasher, but I don't think he can compare to Xaus. Relegated to second place once more.

 

I like Rossi, he's great character that brought quite a bit of fun in motoGP. Made things interesting.

I'm a fan of all riders but nothing like Motion or Wolfe and their Tavula prophet.

In 2015, Rossi wasn't the fastest rider but was leading the championship. The fastest guy crashed himself out of contention.

Then he got pissed at Rossi because of the Argentina tango where he landed on his ass after trying to keep up with Rossi and then there was the Assen chicane episode.

For the fastest rider at that point, it was clearly anyone but Rossi for the '15 championship. He couldn't win it but he was fast enough to fuck things up.

 

The reason that Rossi will always be greater than Marquez is that he was always having fun. Marquez is not. It's simply an obsession for him and his life would be empty without racing.

 

Valentino Rossi is the GOAT and will always be the Goat. Long Live VR46

 

Who left the fucking gate open?!?

 

Im sure Rossi would have had that 25 pt lead if it werent for MM's interference!

And you're dead to me. Again. Still.

 

^^^^this^^^^

 

lol

In what other discipline has this entirely arbitrary and subjective standard been applied to determining the goat?

Boxing - was Tyson always having fun?

Basketball - was Jordan always having fun?

That argument was so nonsensical it should be saved and used as an example to illustrate bias and logical fallacy.

 

Its Rossi. For many logic and reason take a vacation when his name comes up.

 

Why do athletes turn to sports psychologists? If you are unable to comprehend the effect of an athlete's mental state on performance and longevity, far be it from me to disabuse you of your beliefs.

 

For some, logic and reason illuminate the human condition.

 

Agreed - they particularly illuminate bias in nonsensical arguments.

 

Can you show an example of when another athlete who’s status as goat rested on the basis of whether or not they were having fun when competing?

 

I know nothing about snoozeball but in boxing, no one, but no one out-GOATs Ali.

 

Wth are you guys taking about?!? There are other sports and athletes?!?

 

Yeah. Women’s beach volleyball.

 

damn… and I talk about Gabi Reece at Daytona all the time… how could I forget that?!? fine she can bring all her friends too…

 

If Rossi doesn't get some of those rain races wrong in 2015, he's the champ.

alright, let's change it a bit. Because Rossi is more charismatic, he invited the fans to join in, and be part of the "party" that he was having each weekend on track. To this day you A LOT of VR46 gear in the stands, and that's because he was the ultimate showman.

 

Perfect meme….
