Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
This is far fetched imagination for sure. Stoner was most definitely bitter about Rossi being accorded the status of MotoGP itself. In this case, MM is clearly not the favorite for Dorna. He got himself a penalty at Silverstone. He has been warned before and that does not seem like preferential treatment to me.
Are you trying to say that a double world champ from earlier classes and a championship leader in the premier class does not know how to brake? You feel that he is lucky that his front does not fold...in a nutshell, you think that it's pure luck that he is leading the championship. This has to be the most hilarious observation ever. Dont feel offended but I think you either hate MM or Honda or both.
+100
What many forget that he is a rider who has come up from the lower series where touching and contact are very much a part of racing. The 125cc class and Moto2 are highly competitive and closely fought classes where evenly matched machinery calls for dogfights which are mighty close. The MotoGP class is entirely different thanks to the likes of Stoner, Lorenzo and Dani who ride like purists. Any action of close racing was around only till Rossi was competitive (or on competitive machinery). Correct me if Im wrong, Rossi was not penalized for causing Stoner to crash in the 2011 season (and inviting the famous ambition-talent remark). This is probably the only reason why Lorenzo hated the late Simoncelli.
End of the day, its motorcycle racing..dangerous to the core but addictive like nothing else on the planet. I'm sure people realize that no MotoGP rider in senses would want to commit to any harakiri or a deliberate T-boning of any other rider...days of thunder does not happen on the racetrack.
Lorenzo and MM became buddies ever since they found a new contender. Someone interrupted in all their hopes of having a fight between them (especially after Stoner's retirement).
Ideally MM should be penalized..but not with championship points or anything which affects his positioning in the championship. It can be a monetary penalty with a warning of race disqualification if it happens again. I'm not speaking because I love MM. It has to do with a racer's primary instinct of getting back and you would not want a highly aggressive MM storming from the back of the field like in some of the lower classes over the last few years. Traditionally, Sepang has registered only one win for MM in 125 class on a Derbi. Montegi has been good for him as also Valencia. Australia has been relatively average in terms of his results in the earlier classes.

Marquez knows how to brake 
Braking is not his problem, his aggression is. Since he is too aggressive at times, it affects his braking. He would land in gravel more often if braking was his primary issue.
Dorna wouldn't and can't be biased enough and make rules around one sportsperson so as to make the sport his own game! In one way or the other, we must understand that the rider is no less a reason than the sport itself to attract the massive viewership and that too for decades. The stands, at any track, are filled with fans holding banners for their favorite riders! If at all, what Dorna could try and do is convince Rossi stay in MotoGP for as long as possible. They know he still attracts the biggest crowd in most race tracks and the TV viewership. Beyond that, they can't be anymore biased in favor of him or any other particular rider. Do you think a team as powerful as a Honda would allow that to happen? Especially when the relationship between them and Rossi have been more or less sour since 2004.

Dani Pedrosa blasts Mrquez: "Not everything goes" - MARCA.com (English version)
LOL, since when did Dani boy and Lorenzo become chuddi buddies?

Random thought : I think MM should do Isle of man TT
