Shame on MotoGP/Dorna,Honda and Marquez.Lorenzo ist not the 2016 MotoGP champion but Ross!The Spanish-Mafia (Dorna,Marquez,Pedrosa) robbed Rossi of his hard work and deserved title to give the crown to Lorenzo.Letting Rossi start from the back to make sure Lorenzo is ahead and Marquez/Pedrosa taking further points away.Honda is still mad at Rossi because he proved them it is was not their bike but the rider that makes the difference.Marquez is a spoiled child and sore looser. Lorenzo acted very un-sportsmanlike and is not the true champion.Yamaha should have boycotted the last race and declared Rossi the champion!2015 could have been the best season ever but it vecame the worst.
I have lost all interest in MotoGP because of all the politics that showed like in real life that everything is rigged…WSB is dead and so is MotoGP both run by the same criminals who killed the sport…WSB ran out of money and MotoGP out of ethics…Rossi is the true champion and greates rider of all times!

Wow, thank you so much for saying all you said about Marquez and Lorenzo. They both hate Valentino for being as good as he is and handle, troubles not like Champs but like children. Your insight was spot on and it will be interesting in 2016 because of us all watcbing, I hope.

Or the way that Rossi did

Same race Jason. I trust you have had time by now to look closely at the heli-shot video where you can see Rossi “lose” his footpg, leading with his knee towards MM, 3 times. As well, the later-released slow motion video from the outside of the track view clearly shows VR swinging his knee out towards MM before MM’s front tucks. Not slipping off the peg but swinging directly out at MM. Not sure exactly how VR contacted MM’s brake lever as the guard whould have been in the way but it probably swiveled down. Honda threatened to tell all and may yet do so. In any case it appears VR was not fast enough to beat JL. He did not go about getting others’ assistance in the best way. I saw nothing unsafe in the way MM rode at Sepang or Valencia so VR & his acolytes have nothing real to whine about. Stay real man.

Do we want a single rider that always wins,boring!!!. That’s why we want Rossi there,he an exciting and unpredictable.He proves his worth and brilliance when the rain’s fall…so to ask if he’s so good why isn’t he always in front,then you never thought about that question. How boring it was when Marquez was always winning..yawn.

MM is a spoiled boy and think he could do everything he wants without responsibility, putting everyone in risk… they call it daring! I think he deserves try it own poison in Valencia…

JL is just a crying baby which received a unexpected gift — I will love if VR win but it is almost impossible…

I don’t know but those Spanish pilots are boring as hell! Always in bad mud because they can’t bear deal with losses. I hope 2016 will be different otherwise Motogp will lost its appeal.

He Will never do that because he is a complete Asshole, people are saying they lots respect for Rossi, dude, I lost all kind of respect or admiration after what he did at Malasia at the Podium, all the stupid Stuff he said at the press conferance at the end of the race, and then traing to beat Valentino in a Desk

No respect for that guy, if You are fighting the best in the world for a championship, and You have the upper hand, of your rival starting from the Back, In my case I’ll Race the shit out of my Bike to beat the legend….., I can say that once, head to head I beat Martín Cárdenas….. no one can take that away, that’s sublime for a rider, to win against a Leyend, but Lorenzo is so full of him self that in pathetic, he has won moré times than Valentino, and in the Last part of the Championship, he has Been faster, but I hope in my Heart Vale kick his Ass on Sunday and become a God on our sport

I reckon if you are not racing to win the race which involves saving tyres and using the best lines for good times it would be easy to buzz about and mess up the race for someone else. That’s why Rossi was waving at Marquez to race and go after the other two. Sure he ran wide to push Marquez wide – although Marquez still had metres road available when he chucked his bike at Rossi for the third time that lap. It’s just that Rossi realised then he had no chance of catching the leaders and all he could do was try to highlight how uninterested Marquez was in the race. Penalty went the wrong way. Marquez deliberately crashed into him. I was a fan of his last year. Now I see all his talent has been wasted on a poisonous little brat.

Well, he has Been in front of everyone else in 4 ocations, he has Been on the podium almost everyrace, he has qualified in front of Lorenzo, its a Championship, many races, he has won 4 times, in Dry and wet, and when he lose he dont blame the helmet, the brakes, etc etc.

If he wins the Championship, he DESERV it, he has won races, he has Been the most constant rider, in some races he hasn’t been able to be faster than Lorenzo,Yes, its normal, no World Champion has won every Race of the Year, No Champion has done that, so if You are asking why Rossi cant beat Lorenzo and Márquez, You are watching a very very diferent Championship, or maybe Soap opera but not MOTOGP, Numbers dont lie, Rossi has won it 20% of the time (4 Races) Lorenzo has done it 30% (6 Times), Márquez has done it 25% (5 times) of the time. Rossi has finish in front of Lorenzo 8 times, Lorenzo has done it 9 times, But the biggest thing is this:
Rossi has finished in the Podium 15 Times of 18
Lorenzo Has Finished in the Podium 11 Times of 18
Márquez Has Finished in the Podium 8 Times of 18

Numbers are very tight, very very tight, that’s why this Championship its a 7 point Battle, so to answer your question why Rossi can’t beat his Team Mate, dude he has done it 49% of the time, Lorenzo has done it 51% of the time, even Numbers to me! and to Chakemate your insightfull coment SIR VALENTINO ROSSI, THE DOCTOR, The Best of all times, has Been a better moré constant rider the hole Year, no crashes, way many times on the Podium, and off course on top of everybody in the Championship

” IN OUR SPORT NUMBERS ARE THE ONES THING, THAT SAIS THE TRUTH, AND THEY NEVER LIE”

Valentino has Been a better rider all year, moré constant, the only one that has won in the wet and Dry, and guys, its simple, if on Sunday Rossi lose the Championship against Jorge, he still be a Legend, but, If by any crazy thing he wins, he Will Become a GOD in our sport, maybe not your GOD, but he Will be one

So, by the unwritten rule of racing, all other riders should step aside to allow Rossi through in Valencia? Do you (and Valentino for that matter) think that would make for better racing? I think not – its called racing for a reason. Riders want to finish as high up as they can. There is no rule to state Rossi should have it his own way (yet)…

The whole world has raised a generation of whiny entitled little pricks who demand everything be given to them, and Marquez sums this up perfectly.

People like him think that it is their God given right to victory and anybody who opposes their victory is oppressing them. We see the same thing here in America with free speech. Liberals will slander and lie and do anything they want all in the name of “free speech” but the instant somebody says something they don’t agree with, no matter how true, it is labeled as hate speech and must be stopped.

Marquez shows all the symptoms of American liberalism. In his mind he is entitled to everything so the rules only apply to everybody else. Liberalism like this is a disease and the only cure is a huge slice of humble pie and a hot steaming cup of STFU.

Sorry, are you living under some grand illusion that 40 yrs of racing make one immune from lying? The whole planet should be glad to learn that this is the discovered method to cure lies.
Oh, 40 years of being AT racetracks. The AT is important.
No, I have NEVER raced. Just 25 yrs of road riding, sporting riding, canyon carving, etc…
I guess you are going to tell the world that physics on a race track is somehow different that public highways and byways?
Well, Mr. 40 AT racetracks, Physics does not change. The gyroscopic effect and centrifugal force and road banking do not change the physics.
The greater the speed, the greater the lean angle possible.

IF you doubt this, or are stupidly inclined to contradict me, then, please by all means, explain why no rider like Marc (who eclipses YOUR talent many times over) can get his elbow down at high speed, but not at low speed?

“I am sure you have years of racing experience under your belt so you would know every angle possible.”

THAT has to be one of the most stupid appeals to authority (A often used, logical fallacy presented by people in debate when said person holds no winning position) I have seen in a while.

THIS, by the way, is your charge of Marquez letting Lorenzo by:
“When have you seen Marquez put up zero fight for 1st or 2nd?”

smartest, most neutral comment on here…

that’s kind of what i got too…

p.s. Rossi is 100% in the wrong, full stop. he’s a grown up, and is responsible for his own actions. he started the shit taking in Australia about Marc helping Lorenzo. if that were the case, Marc wouldn’t have beaten him for the win and taken 5 precious championship points away. in Malaysia Rossi clearly went well out of his way to make a point, closed the throttle, blocked Marquez, looked at him no less then three times, and regardless of whether he knocked down Marc or not (which i don’t believe he meant to do), he lost his cool and is responsible for what happened next. that is why he was penalised, and the resultant points on his license combined with previous points are what forces him to start from the back, from the rulebook which obviously predates the whole season. Rossi has been under pressure from the new kids beating him for a while, and he cracked. he made a bad decision, and will now have to live with it. end of story…

Jason-

Thank you for a well written and informed opinion of the incident. Marquez shattered a long standing practice of respecting a Title fight by sticking his nose where it did not belong. As a longtime racer, I consider this to be the height of poor sportsmanship, dangerous, disrespectful and rude. He should have got what he deserved by being excluded from the final race, after removing himself from the road. It is sad that Dorna is so biased toward the Spaniards that it will alienate a million fans and trash it’s reputation, to push an adgenda and please sponsors.

The damage is done. Championship spoiled. I regret that you have to suffer insults from the uninformed, blindly biased MM “fans” for pointing out the debacle.

You have my support in your future endeavors.
