What a lovely way to end the year. But I like Dani a lot more after this year. Hope he interferes with Jorge a lot more next year.

That was total dildos, Rossi did pretty much everything he could have done. Marquez sandbagged his way home behind Lorenzo, the only time he did any racing was when Dani caught up with them.

Truth. Pedrosa deserves a title more than anyone, he has just had poo poo luck over the years and never complains about anything. Lorenzo is a prat and Marquez is a little pratty twerp. Oh well Rossi still the goat and on contract for 2016.

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Yeah. Kind of funny how he totally couldn't pass Lorenzo, but as soon as Dan I got close he found his balls again and raced all out...right up to Lorenzos tire and then stopped.

My enthusiasm for motogp is pretty much gone.

Lorenzo beat the poo poo out of Marc in qualifying. It wasn't even close. Yet people are all hot and bothered that Marc never got close to Lorenzo in the race and never tried to pass him. He was never anywhere close enough to attempt a pass, and the fact that he kept up with Lorenzo despite being so much slower in qualifying was nothing short of a miracle. Even if Marc, once or twice, got close enough to pass, I wouldn't blame him for not risking crashing out Lorenzo and becoming even further criticized for messing up the championship competition.

Then they point to Pedrosa nearly passing Marc and claim that Marc magically became competitive then, and only then, and passed him back. Except Pedrosa said himself post race that he made a mistake after that pass and ran wide, allowing Marc to get back in front.

The fact that Marc was on Lorenzo's tail the entire was seems like evidence that he wasn't trying to help Lorenzo. He was keeping pressure on Lorenzo (which obviously worked, Lorenzo said he was really struggling with the pressure) which could only serve to help Rossi. Rossi's only hope was that Lorenzo would make a mistake, which wasn't going to happen if he was all alone at the front.

Another example is that they latch on to Lorenzo saying he was helped by the Hondas. He was helped, in the same way that a plane is helped by a tailwind. He's not suggesting they helped him per some per-arranged agreement to gently caress over Rossi, but Rossi fans are convinced that's what he meant. Some people were calling for criminal charges on Lorenzo based on this statement.

So many Rossi fans are completely delusional and are finding conspiracy theories where there is no evidence for any. The blame Marc for ruining Rossi's championship, when in reality they should be blaming race direction. Or maybe they should be blaming Iannone for the worst case of (unintentional, I am sure) sandbagging I have ever seen a few races ago. If not that for that, Rossi would still be the championship winner.

I am a Marc fan now if nothing else than because of the irrational hatred he's getting ala Casey Stoner.

While you're right, he does exacerbate it by being a tremendous dickhead almost all the time.

Almost certainly yes, IMO. Unfortunately he's too famous and to deep into the cantankerous-old-fart phase of life to learn anything from this.

I agree with this. Lorenzo didn't do himself any favors by whining a bit and not just going out and racing absurdly fast and then feeling the need to defend his championship, but he's getting a lot of hate that he doesn't really deserve.

The booing started when Lorenzo gave a sneaky thumbs down when Rossi's name was called on the podium, didn't it?

from http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/225029/1/lorenzo-i-was-better-than-rossi-in-everything.html

Lorenzo told the Movistar MotoGP TV channel shortly after Sunday's race that Marquez and Pedrosa's Spanish nationality had 'helped' him during the race, saying: “They knew what I had in play. The fact they are Spaniards like me helped me. That helped me because for sure in another kind of race they would have tried to overtake, which they didn't this time.

“If Valentino had been in my position and with Italians behind they would have done exactly the same. The title had to be for Spain.”


Didn't expect that quote when I clicked on that headline. Haha. I hope Dani wins a lot of races in '16.

Everyone who whined/whines about CRT/open class needs to go back and watch some old races again. They were intended to pad the field and make it more interesting and it bloody well worked.

Was pretty tragic when one or two guys crashing led to everyone getting points.
