    That’s admittedly something I’ve always respected about Marc. Still not a fan of his. But I do have to respect the fact that he owns his boneheadedness and expects nothing but the same in return from his fellow competitors.

    I don't get the rationale behind the whining about racers actually racing when they're mathematically eliminated from championship contention. Expecting someone else to roll over and let you by just because you're still in a championship hunt and they aren't is silly. Might as well just only grid people who haven't been eliminated yet.

    That must really suck for the top three riders. Imagine how it feels to lose the championship to an inferior rider two years running.

    MM's brain was probably scrambled from watching VR46's mug on the building every lap. Imagine how that must feel for MM, to see VR up there at the finale every year. Talk about a mind f&*ck!

    He was doing that on a Honda… if he’d have been on any Euro brand he’d have been gone…

    I hope he rests up until Tuesday and shows up at the crack of noon and pulls a Stoner breaking the lap record running a 1:27 in a handful of laps and says adios boys, have a great winter! :D

    As soon as Martin almost clipped Pecco and ran off track, I told my wife, watch, he's gonna pitch it trying to catch back up. It was easy to predict and he didn't need to. He had plenty of time and speed. But, he has shown he gets frustrated easy and can make mistakes.

    Then to basically blame it on MM was ridiculous. I'm no MM fan but I don't see that one as his fault and to his credit he shrugged it off as no big deal because in his words Martin had to attack.

    And that right there tars his season, which otherwise was super strong. He made two very large mistakes in the first set of laps and it cost him. Blaming anyone other than himself is not a good look for next year.

    What a bitch! Rant on…

    Alright… I raced a bit at a decent pace and level I guess… guess how many times in all of my hundreds of crashes my front tire got taken out? Never! Why because that tire is mine to protect and if it gets taken out it’s my fault… and shoving it up inside MM?!? Right! Dumb ass knew better… when MM striped his shoulder in the Sprint he knew that’s as far as Martin could come over and his front tire was safe…

    have I chopped off someone’s front wheel when they shoved it in there when they shouldn’t have… yeah… have I run wide to save someone who made a mistake and got in under me hot… yeah…

    I may be old school but the racer in front has the line of their choice… and it doesn’t matter if it’s a millimeter or a meter…

    rant off

    I hope MM punts his ass back to Seville or wherever he’s from and the Espargo brothers with him… Maverick too… and I’m not even a MM fan!

    ok rant off for real this time…

    what a crybaby bitch, JLo must be proud

    I bet MM will remember everybody who messed with him once he gets comfortable in his new shoes...

    there was this guy once that had his legs sewn together to save them…. He came back and stomped a hole in the fields ass for years… I think we’re about to see that again… I don’t think anyone has ever lived solely to win like MM does… not even Doohan…

    He doesn’t have to, he kicked everyone’s ass before and I think he will again. I just hope it doesn’t get boring like F1.

    Yall are reading way too much into Martin "blaming" Marquez. Martin apologized to Marc and made nice after the race.

    Quicktoy Is it Winter yet?

    Pecco has everything to do with the conversation you started. Martin about ass packed him. Martin went on to ass pack Marquez. Everything else you said in the post made zero sense. The crash was 100% on Martin. Please take your VR45 goggles off.
