The points scoring spread for the FIM.

1/25
2/20
3/16
4/13
5/11
6/10
7/9
8/8
9/7
10/6
11/5
12/4
13/3
14/2
15/1

Lorenzo wins, Rossi needs a 2nd to capture the Championship.
I could see Lorenzo losing his tires again and falling back to 3rd. Then Rossi would only need a 6th. It's not over yet!

Remember that Rossi has been working on, and running race set-up while the other guys will have been in qualifying set-up.

Oh yeah I know. I wasn't expecting anything out of Rossi in qualifying. But still Lorenzo's lap was phenomenal
Which may give Rossi an advantage, having had all weekend to work on race settings.

The Idea that MM was helping JL is preposterous. If he was helping him, he would not have won the previous fucking race! He would have let JL win. By winning the race himself, he effectively helped Rossi and hurt JL. To think anything else is pure speculation based on prejudice.

Preposterous?

Here's what he did. MM screwed with Rossi long enough to let Lorenzo get enough of a gap that Rossi couldn't catch Lorenzo by the end of the race. However, since MM is super human, the prick had just enough time to make up that gap, and nab the win for his own records.

It's not illegal, just a real cunty move. MM is acting like a young James Stewart. Hopefully MM figures out how to act like a man before he throws away a GOAT-like career, like Stewart did.
Crazy talk. You talk about MM like he can do absolutely anything he wants on the bike. His many, many DNF's this year make that argument even more preposterous than the idea that he helped Lorenzo by Winning and finishing ahead of him.

He went back to last years frame mid season.

First off, I don't think Lorenzo and MM conspired together (I know you didn't say that).

MM has the talent/speed to play with these guys right now, and that's what he has chosen to do instead of racing to win from the start of the race. He wants to hurt Rossi's championship hopes - and still win races. So, he will do what he can to help Lorenzo finish ahead of Rossi, but not necessarily himself. Not sure why you don't see that.

Regardless, tomorrow should be a very interesting race to see how these 3 handle themselves on the track. If MM wins easily, it kind of proves my point that he was tooling with Rossi.

In my opinion, MM has already played his first card by not winning pole. That way, he can finish between Lorenzo and Rossi, and shrug it off like he just didn't have Lorenzo's pace this weekend.

I guess one thing we have in common is we can't wait for tomorrow! LOL

Serious question in all this craziness.

Is there a reliable stream to watch this on tomorrow?

I'll be in a meeting, but I might be able to park in corner with my tablet. Should be epic.

And definitely worthy of 30 pages. Smile

If VR does retire after this year what reason is there to watch it, out of the top 3 left the only one that I would like to see win is Pedrosa, sadly for Marquez and Lorenzo they have not come out of this any good.

'IF ONLY' they had handled themselves better (fat chance) they could have been on the way to Legend status but IMO they have blown that

I thought I read he was retiring this year. That's good to hear he's giving it another go next year. Maybe he should convince Suzuki to find some HP and go there. That bike sure seems to handle well.

No, he's back for another year on the Yamaha. He confirmed that a little while ago

How's the temp down there hillbilly. It's pretty frosty up here in Ohio this morning. My old man and I are flying his plane to Covington in the morning to look at a truck. Cool weather is good for small planes.

North American Navion. 1946 era. My old man has a liking for that bird. He's rebuilding another one from top to bottom.

it all depends on rossis mindset. is he really expecting to win a championship or is he just happy to race as long as he can challenge for a win here and there.

mm93 however seems to like his bike again, he will be the guy to beat next year, no matter who wins the title.

I want to use a basketball analogy - at the end of the game, there comes a point where the ref "swallows his whistle" and lets the players decide the game (as opposed to the ref). I feel like in this case, the refs have decided the game much less championship by enforcing a rule at the worst time.. they should have let them race for the championship!!
