All I could think of was Chris Farley as Tommy Boy saying, "Son of a b.., that's going to leave a mark".

 

well, another race that you'll regret if you miss!

 

And I did miss it. Can you explain the MM93 and VR46 incident, please? All I see on racing websites is fans of both riders outraged at each other.

 

Well, in a nutshell, they were trading p3 and p4 while the 26 and 99 were getting away. Vr46 ran wide in a turn pushing mm93 almost off track while looking right at him and being, and staying off throttle. Mm93 ended up on the pavement and Rossi went on for a Sunday ride and crossed in 3rd.

All this after comments were publicly made over concern that the Spaniards would stick together and Marc, and probably dani, would help Jorge. Nonsense. They might help each other, but marc would NEVER help Jorge! They have a long history of crashing each other...

 

Rossi and Marq were racing each other for 3rd harder than I have ever seen. I honestly lost track the number of times they traded 3rd and 4th, but it was at least 2 dozen, and that was only 5 laps into the race. Then on lap 6 Marq was coming around the outside on a right hander and it very much appears that Rossi pushed him off the track. He looked at him 3 different times before it happened. I am a Marq fan so I know I am biased. Having said that, on replay, they showed Rossi's garage team and their reaction when they saw what happened. The looks on their faces were like, " aw man, why did you do that."

Again comings from a 93 fan, it looked like a cheap shot.

 

 

When I watched it, it lood like Rossie kicked him. Watching tha slow mo Matti kind of proves it.
Bad form indeed.

 

Wow, never thought I'd see the doctor crack. Though he says Marquez's clipon is what raised his leg off the bike, contextually, I think there was a kick.

Racers run wide all the time, they also do a bunch of other stuff to gain an advantage (like brake checking riders into a corner) - and that's fine, but that looks like a kick to me.


I read about the Marc/JLo drama, but chalked it up to mind games in a press conference (considering he told his fans to stop chastising Iannone after PI).


Seems like starting at the back of the grid in Valencia is completely warranted. Shame, I wanted Rossi to win, but the last week or so is starting to make me change my mind

It really sucks for the championship, there will always be an asterisk associated with it even if Jorge pulls it out.

 

Interesting....
