if MM really wanted to cost Rossi points, then why on earth would he pass Lorenzo on the last lap at Phillips ISland taking 5 points off him,
first thing he's created a poisoned fan reaction? ah ok
Second thing, that was Rossi's point, Marquez was a lot faster than him at Phillip Island so why was he back battling with him? (should mention, I'm not 100% convinced he was messing with him at Phillip Island, although that was some last lap he put in)
Yeah ya prob right this is a much better outcome for Rossi.. (hint, that was sarcasm)
again there's that strange fan reaction opinion
yeah good point if he could handle battling for wins 7 years ago why can't he put up with someone fucking with him just to wreck his championship now 7 years later?
How did Rossi handle it last year, when Marquez did exactly the same move to him that he did to Stoner? He seemed to be ok with that battle.. hmm wonder why

"I just feel like the wrong thing was done on Sunday and it started not because of Rossi or what he said in a stupid press conference, those are just words. It started because someone got his ego checked this year and doesn’t want to look at why. As brilliant as Marquez’s riding is, its time to grow up. Rossi will always be endeared and when he goes, Moto GP is in big trouble. Especially if Marquez and Lorenzo are what we all have to deal with."
I think that the effect of the penalty on the championship is a bit shit, but the penalty Rossi got is on the light side when compared to the others given out this year in other classes for similar moves, should you be able to take the law into your own hands? do we want a nascar like boys have at it type situation,
is MM not allowed to race Rossi? but it was fine for Iannone to do so?
They fucked up and now they are going to cost Rossi a championship over MM being an idiot and JL crying like a little girl.
The non-racing:
Rossi chose to start a war involving all the MotoGP fans...(lol 20 pages here now)...if it was such an obvious thing at PI, but nobody said anything about it until the Doctor himself declared it? well it must be true then.
In general, declaring someone a cheat is a pretty serious allegation. If he didn't expect payback for what happened by MM, then he was kidding himself. Poorly thought out and very unlike Rossi.
In any worthless battle, just like a street fight, it will escalate to the point of an illegal action...and Rossi got there first. Rossi decided to fight the worthless battle instead.
The racing he had in the last three rounds:
Rossi lost the fight with Pedrosa in Aragon...in a way, not unlike the battle in Sepang.
Rossi had the last lap to stay in front of Iannone at PI. Couldn't do it.
Rossi had the opportunity to keep Lorenzo behind him at Sepang...couldn't do it. Maybe he was waiting for his front tire to come in, lol.
Like I said, this is not the Rossi I will choose to remember.
That's before the BS penalty virtually handing the competition HIS championship...for a racing move we have all done. Taking someone's line away in a race IS how most passing his done. Vital guys understand this, hence the outrage and conspiracy theories.
If you don't want to remember "This Rossi" nothing can help you..
please show me where a move like Rossi did at Sapang, has gone unpunished with penalty points in and of the GP classes in the last few years?
comparing Moto GP to motocross or supercross is not a fair comparison, as the speeds are much slower, and the corners much tighter,
Pit Row
did you think MM was messing with Rossi at Phillip island at the time?, or not until Rossi brought it up the next week?
only normally watch highlights of the european rounds due to time differences,
Some people say Rossi took matter into his own hands but you could say the same for Marquez if words got to him.
Besides, Vale and Dunge being multi-time champions and the comparison to Marquez...ummm...??
Well then those guys got gypped.
So, what is it now, from a guy that has followed this since before King Kenny showed them how it's done,
You can't run a guy wide anymore?
Quote the rule. I wanna see it.
There was at least 2meters of Tarmac to the edge if the grass.
Rossi was in front.
It's up to the guy behind to back off, and the tape shows he didn't.
Tell me, next year, last lap nobody goes wide to protect a line to win?
I say forget it, let them run like nothing happened, let the riders decide it.
Roberts never did this.
And obviously this isn't allowed, for the same reason Vale was allowed to keep the Assen win. If Vale had crashed trying to make the chicane after Marquez dive bombed him, you can be sure Marquez would have been penalized.
get Lorenzo his reward for those stupid comments after the race
if MM may have broken the unwritten law of not messing with the championship, Rossi did the same thing in 2012 to his own team mate,
