If the roles would be reversed, the Rossi fanboy horde would be out for blood right now.

Race direction said, yeah MM was passing and then holding him up (but, not against any rules) and yeah, Rossi is to blame for the crash by purposely pushing him out.

What a shame.

I would have liked to see Rossi take the championship one last time.

Now Lorenzo will win it, and Rossi will stay with Yamaha forever. I'm ready for him to leave and open up a seat for another rider.

[thought]

I think it's fair to say that MM was playing silly games with Rossi's championship bid and I really don't like that. I guess this was what MM was hinting at when he made comments about how he would make up what Rossi did those times he took MM out. Rossi looks bad after this incident but after reviewing the footage I personally think MM is the one that's going to come out worse. Because from now on we know that if MM has nothing to lose in the championship he'll go out of his way to tank someone else out of pique. Pretty bad sportsmanship and I can't think of another rider that had deliberately done something like that during a recent championship bid.

And I wonder what we would have all thought if Rossi didn't point out MM's attempts to hamper him. That blew up in his face but without it being pointed out we might also be seeing this incident in a different light.

Also, I still don't want Lorenzo to win... His reaction to it all was just so pissy. Never the biggest Pedro fan but he's the one I'd want with the championship right now if anything. Or Iannonne.

Next year is going to be crazy though. Because if MM's championship is on the line and Rossi has nothing to lose... Pretty sure you're going to see some karma coming around pretty quickly.

In what, 16+ years of racing? I have never seen VR playing this kind of games trying to purposely slow down a racer, in a business that was not his own.

i dislike MM even more!!!!

of course casey stoner is twitting against V46.

Very sad that JLo is going to win it.  In my opinion, he is a whiner that doesn't deserve championship.  I was dizzy that is why i left the podium.  BS.

Ugh, sad day in motogp!!!

I doubt V46 will ever get another chance for championship.  I don't think he will win many more if any #1 spots in races.  I hope hope i am wrong.

Is it wrong to hope that JLo will crash out next race?!!!!!

Yeah, rooting for crashes is Marquez-level evil.  Be the good guy.  Be Dani.

Speaking of which, with all the controversy and lack of love for JLo, VR, and MM, let's just crown Dani champion.  The guy deserves one.  Why not make it this year?

Go team Crusty!

Wow, even when Rossi is clearly in the wrong some of you delusional fan boys somehow twist the storey so Rossi is now the victim. You should have a go at being lawyers lol.
The way I read it is, that Rossi only wanted himself and Jlo on track, and everyone else can just watch them go round.
Rossi should of tried to get mm as an ally on Thursday instead of stirring shit and getting others offside.

Here's an idea. Rossi was full of shit that MM was trying to hamper him at PI. Rossi's logic doesn't make sense, and neither does the lap data. I think that if Rossi didn't accuse him, the incident at Sepang wouldn't have happened.

As Colin Edwards said...Rossi was riding for championship points, Marquez for pride.

I don't think anyone here is saying that Rossi didn't do anything wrong and we for the most part agree that he lost his cool and blew his championship.

I don't think that Rossi wanted just a race btwn him and Jlo... He just wanted a race where someone wasn't trying to mess with his chances at a championship. Hell, even race direction agreed that MM was riding in a way to provoke Rossi.

And I don't think there was anyway that MM was going to be a ally after what Rossi supposedly saw at PI. I mean... What could you do or say to make a ally of MM if you felt he was already sabotaging you?

Above all else I think we're just seeing the immature side of MM here... One that is going to bite him in the ass in the long run. Because if he can do this one season... What's going to stop him doing this every season?

[Triple J]

Immature side of both of them.

You guys 'do' remember how MM raced in Moto2.
