Rossi admitted he did it, confessions are pretty dam good evidence most of the times, and the video shows him looking at him and pushing him wide, and brake checking him while doing so,
I get that you disagree with it, but how is there no evidence?
I've not heard that theory about him trying to turn underneath him. I'm not seeing it but who knows.
I am ment to be racing summer x in Whakatane against a mate coming back from the gold coast, so i better get on the bike soon,

lol yes you will wanna beat him !!!! :-)
That's why I think he is shooting himself in the foot. You can see Mike's own words in this link. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/10/26/sepangclash-race-direction-ver…
He said "“The decision is that Race Direction has imposed three penalty points on Valentino Rossi for irresponsible riding, that is, deliberately causing contact. Deliberately running wide in a corner in order to try and force another rider off line. The result was a crash and so it’s irresponsible riding causing a crash and for that we have imposed three penalty points on Rossi."
To sum Mike's words up "irresponsible riding causing contact resulting in a crash" is why VR was penalized. Why he threw in the line about running him and forcing him off line is beyond me. And will come back to bite him in the ass in the future in my opinion. I just don't see how VR caused/initiated the contact when all MM had to do was let up and not turn into him. Who the hell knows for sure except Vale and Marc.
MM turned in, aerial shot shows that clear as day. Vale went wide, but he never deviated off that arc.
And when did that start?
He gave Marquez the option to shut it down and slow right up, like billions of racers have done before. He didn't cause the crash. He did put them in a situation where Marquez caused the crash, but it's a pretty pussy move to say that deserves a penalty, and how the fuck are you meant to defend that applied to other situations...
Or you just do what the AMA/FIM did in SX and let all the other retaliations/racing line incidents go....
Rossi has so much experience that he pushed Marquez to make the mistake and the contact. So strictly on the rules book, Rossi is clean and it should have been accepted by the race direction. It is nasty and I like it based on Marquez's recent behavior. I notice the number of passes these last races in a previous post, which clearly shows some intentions to mess around, which is not fair and not showing great sportmanship with 2-3 rounds to go whilst the rider has no business in this championship. Passing Rossi or Lorenzo, ok, but if you are faster then make it stick, if not wait for the right opportunity, passing/repassing 20 times a rider is just messing around.
Also, what to say about this crash? A low speed crash that did not 0 damage to the bike except some painting, a potential 4th place or 6th place finish? No, it looks more dramatic to chose to go back to cry in the pits to play the victim! Very poorly managed I tell you!
Maybe we should just put these bikes on train tracks, like the gokarts at Disney Land. Or maybe we should drag race.
Nah, fuck it. Let's just not race at all, sit on the internet and arbitrarily argue who the fastest rider is, then hold hands and sing kumbaya. Wouldn't want anyone to (gasp) get..OH-FFENDED

Motor racing legend Giacomo Agostini, questioned the attitude and actions of Valentino Rossi on the MotoGP circuit in Malaysia. What do Rossi in Sepang Rossi calls not like she knew.
"I think Valentino is too emotional. It was not Rossi, who usually because then he might have lost his senses," Agostini said in an interview in Marca.
Agostini was not accused Rossi has kicked Marc Marquez in an incident that ultimately makes the Honda rider fell. But the world champion 15 times it mentions that The Doctor felt the pressure and nervousness related to the competition to become world champion.
"He was very tense, plays a duel to become world champion. But I think he did not do it (dropped Marquez) intentionally," said the man collecting 15 world title Italian.
"I can understand that Valentino was very nervous. But you can not make gestures like that: reduce the speed, waiting for him, and made him fall. I think Valentino did not want to fall, but the gesture he made was to drop Marquez," he said again.
Furthermore, Agostini says that Rossi has made a mistake since the session press conference on Thursday. When Rossi accused Marquez had tried to help Lorenzo in the race at Phillip Island.
"I think Valentino was not supposed to create controversy on Thursday. He should not say anything until Valencia, if he wanted to. I say this because this is what I think. But building a controversy before the two races is important, in a state of tension, in where the world title was at stake ... I do not think it should it be done. "
"We've seen all the tape, no doubt that Rossi guilty. Obviously he was provoked, but he did not have to react like that. Now the world title to be difficult, though still open. But his favorite is no longer him, but (Jorge) Lorenzo."
"The fight tight between the riders is a normal thing in MotoGP. It is difficult to stay calm on the track. Being the world champion is not easy, he (Rossi) can not expect Marquez opened the way for him. Marquez is a rider who does not want to lose, though no longer fight to be world champion still wants to prove he is still the best, "former rider finished collectors of 122 Grand Prix victories it.

Also, I'm pretty sure in all those video's I seen, MM not only ran someone wide, but all the way out to the rumble strips which is way past where VR was running him to. AND he actually HIT another rider for a WIN!
I don't really care who wins the title but c'mon, regardless of the penalty handed down, it was and is wrong..
He's not the only rider to hit someone for a win, remember Rossi doing it to Gibernau at Jerez?
More 'proof' that it wasn't Rossis fault!
So let's assume there will be a lot of eyes on the final race Sunday, Nov. 8 – Grand Prix of Valencia (7:30 a.m. ET, LIVE FOX Sports 1).
I think the odds are very high of other riders picking sides and riding wide may become commonplace in qualifying and the race. On the other hand there will likely be riders letting others by without any fight.
Besides all the Grandstanding about rider's not showing up and Sponsor's dropping out, I expect everyone there and another compelling Drama to play out. It only takes 1 little mistake to change everything for JLo or VR. Marquez has nothing to lose again. So who has more friends in this fight? It has been established that there is no rule against messing with someone, so what happens next?
