Rossi and Marquez playing games...

Hopefully the link works. It's a free vid.

"Must be registered" 

.... which I now remember that I am. "Stealing" a tow from Rossi isn't cool and must be punished 

[ducpainter]

"Must be registered" 

Registering, and having a video pass is different. You don't have to pay.

I suppose giving up an email addy is still a price.

IIRC, Marquez got a tow off of Rossi to steal Pole away from him at Silverstone, yes?

Marquez playing games with folk that have nothing to lose in jamming him up.
So he got served.

First turn after the start at Misano is not a good place to be mid pack.

MM had already messed up the lap, so Rossi took the opportunity to remind him that he was still there

MM was playing with his food in the race. Just sitting behind Quatararo until the last lap

[kopfjäger]

MM, FQ and MV were gone early. Nobody else in the field was anywhere near them. My boy lost pace for several laps, then started laying down the fastest laps. Not sure what was going on. (?) Fabio almost ran over Marc on that last lap and that sealed the deal. Classy of the eyetalian fans to boo during the national anthem.

Good summary.
Loving Moto GP.

I didnt hear the booing, but thats dissappointing. One eyed fans shit me as these guys are super athletes, there have been plenty worse than MM.

I thought Rossi deserved a grid penalty for deliberate baulking in practice, and that thought crossed my mind when Quarter  nearly hit MM on that corner. Maybe it was an honest brake, point and shoot save by MM, but if it wasnt, he fooled the commentators.
I think this generation has surpassed the previous one with the advanced skill and racecraft to hide dirty tricks amidst "race incidents", but hasnt the balls to openly punch on in the pits. Kinda like the difference between ice hockey and soccer. Clearly Im from another generation.

Rossi’s helmet pics if you haven’t seen them.

Nice brake check.
