With all due respect sir. I think you missed the point by a mile.

It is not whether Rossi goes past in the first 10 metres of the light going out or on the last lap.

It is the disrespect of asking a racer to roll over and die, so that someone's hero goes past. These guys risk their lives and give up a lot and then to be told that they shouldn't put up a fight is sad and disrespectful to the immense talent that every one of them possesses.

oh no. i was just responding to West's tweet... which he deleted.

and ofcourse... asking a bunch of racers to let Rossi pass is something that only a fan who doesn't understand racing would even think of asking.

and my point is that... all these Rossi fans asking other riders to let Rossi through,

don't even realise that he doesn't need to be "let" through.

Rossi did the crime. He must do the time. So suck it up.

Exactly. Very valid point. Just because Rossi is a 9 time champion and has a shot at 10th title that doesn't mean other riders should give him free pass. I am a Rossi fan, however, I would like to see him earn his 10th title rather than being handed over.

Lets hope he is able to fightback in Valencia, though chances look bleak. To his bad luck all the 3 aliens (JL, DP, MM) are back in form to make his life hell. Add to that a resurgent Andrea Iannone is a cause of worry.

See, that's the thing... it's not necessarily bad luck.

let's say DP, MM and Jl all do well at Valencia...
throw Iannone into the mix and if Lorenzo finished 4th behind DP, MM and IA then...

Rossi would have to come 9th and he would still win the championship by ONE point.

That's why i said that Iannone would play a huge role at Valencia.

There are far too many rumours of such sort going around on the interwebz for any of them to have any credibility!

Even though it would be awesome to see JL on the Honda and DP on the Yamaha, it doesn't look like it is happening at least till 2018

Re: MotoGP 2015 Season - Updates

All the top guys have contracts which expire at the end of 2016. So everyone is already locked in for next season. And none of the riders have any reason to switch factories, and none of the factories have any reason to switch riders just prior to the introduction of spec electronics and Michelin tyres!

Fortunately MotoGP has not yet come to become such a farce! And hopefully it won't in the future either.

There is never going to be a final judgement on who is better, even if Valencia was held with Rossi and Lorenzo only. Matter of perspectives, Rossi fans will always consider Rossi better while grudgingly accepting that Lorenzo is fast. While Lorenzo fans will consider Lorenzo to be better while grudgingly accepting the number of titles that Rossi has won!

We can only ever know who was the better rider on that particular day! The best thing about the last race in Valencia is that i have no clue what will happen. And that is why i will watch it!

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps! Wish it was this sunday, if the Hondas are not going to play spoilsport it is going to be one awesome 45mins

The Hondas will need to play spoilsport if Rossi is to be champion.

If Lorenzo gets pole and leads from the front come race day, then it's game over for VR.

If both the Hondas are strong and Lorenzo comes 3rd then Rossi will have to finish 6th to win the championship by ONE point.

Iannone is desperate to retake his 4th place in the championship, so he'll be looking to outperform Pedrosa.

So, In all of this, if Lorenzo finishes 4th, there's a very good chance that Rossi will win the championship.

And then, if it rains.

And also, Marquez could "choose" to go wide at turn one and move to the back of the grid to battle with Rossi.

Anything can happen come 8th november. I'm hoping for rain.
