Honda’s Nakamoto responds to Rossi allegations
"This is not the atmosphere we wanted to experience at the end of an unforgettable championship. We understand that it’s been a very difficult day for Valentino, after leading the championship for 17 races and losing by just five points in the final race must be very disappointing. However, on the other side we cannot accept the strong accusations he has directed against our rider and Honda in the past weeks and in today's post race press conference.
“Valentino has alleged that Marc never attempted to pass Jorge, who has clearly had a very good pace all weekend, which he demonstrated by taking a strong pole position in qualifying. Marc was struggling to stay behind him during the race and both him and Dani have done a great job to not lose too much distance to Jorge. We cannot accept that these accusations continue to surface time after time, as this is the perception of one person - which we respect - but it is not the reality.”

Sorry mr HRC if that where the truth - How did DP faster than both of them by about 1 second a lap - Get overtaken by MM if you are all telling the truth ? You cannot say 1+1=7 and expect everyone to believe you !
I say it was a frigging awesome series this year, close racing and high entertainment....isn't that what we always want?!?! I will definitely watch it next year for one!
And to those who say no more watching them because Rossi will leave the series, will he's going to frigging leave one day anyway!
Get over it Rossi fans!!!!!!!
P.s. and before I get the trolls in here saying I am a Honda or MM fan, I am a Iannone fan...
1. yep quite like Honda MX bikes damn good bikes, doesn't mean I am a Honda MotoGP fan
2. I actually now ride Kawasaki bikes, not Hondas
3. I enjoy MotoGP for the spectacle, the awesome close racing this year has been great, rather that than one rider dominating like MM did last year
4. I enjoy team tactics or country tactics, like it or not (and those who don't like it are the ones who support the manufacturer or country that doesn't win, human nature) it happens and will happen in the future....some have called that bad sportsmanship...really?
Edit: yes my profile pic was a works Honda (which I happened to think was a work of art), now changed it so to stop all the hate
The Shop
But not his Honda....?
Do people get excited about sports team winning by forfeit? Not so much.
It highlights the funny thing about vital, you can say something and people read it in a very different emotion. I have been guilty of doing that myself several times.
Another funny thing, if Rossi hadn't of pushed MM wide and received a penalty and just sat behind MM he would of probably won the championship as I think he would of won that last race with a much better starting position.....*shrugs*
Bummer for Rossi. I was hoping he'd get this one.
Ah, this whole deal, life in miniature.
The check was mailed yesterday.
Keep up the good work, I'll make sure you get that raise.
Honey, us girls just decided to get something to eat after the bar closed.
Buy this product you don't really need for 600, and save yourself 300.
I really tried, but just could not get around him..........
I am willing to bet you $1m that Rossi would of got Pole and ran away with the race....oh well...
Rossi did not have the pace of the top 3 for the last few races,
Pit Row
It was pretty good watching him come through the pack though
Pity as would have loved to see him win - just for us old guys
Either way the whole thing was done once they lined up at the final race. Even if Rossi started in the front row, it was clear MM wasn’t going to let anyone near Lorenzo. Either Rossi would have still finished third or it would have turned out similar to the prior race with MM provoking some entertaining racing.
I'm guessing the over under on the legal fees for all this for all nvolved is around $2mm, about the budget of a solid satellite SX team, right?
