Anyway http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/224902/1/pedrosa-respect-necessary-but-riders-need-results.html Now I really want Dani to win 2016. This guy deserves a premiere class World Title.

Yes, it had nothing to do with him but the events had a direct affect on the championship results. He was a victim of collateral damage. The fact that his direct opponent to the title pulled a move that was at a minimum a ride through (based on the past), might get away with 16 points and no...

I say it ain't over 'till it's over. It's not too far-fetched for the Hondas to go 1-2 and Lorenzo finish 3rd. At that point, Rossi only needs to finish in 6th. I bet by the end of the first lap, he's picked off half the grid already. Still do-able.

I'd pay to see that. The pleasantries shown on tv is all a farce anyway. Then we'll see a true indicator as to which team/rider is superior.

Okay sure, let's just remove half of the grid while we're at it.

I'd imagine that it would be an easy pass for Rossi anyway. But to purposely change your line to let him through? (ala Free practice).

Good point, Jayv. Alot of these back markers are fighting for seats. They know they can easily be replaced. Also, knowing full well you're racing for your sponsors and your team, would you change your line to let someone pass you? Tough call in this situation. This is not to say that you...

Racer 5 for sure. You'll get the most track time out of all the schools here in Ontario.

I think it would be prudent for the slower guys(below top 10) to not hold up Rossi. But at the same time, they're not being lapped so I think it would only be fair and respectful for all of the riders to not just change their racing line to let Rossi pass.

Nowhere was I saying RD was wrong. In fact I think they made the correct decision, especially with what's at stake. And I have no experience in working in race direction. I'm just going by their previous track record. If you want a reference, go watch Catalunya 2011.

I'm well aware of as to why they didn't enforce any sort of penalty. Lorenzo believes had it been anyone else, they would've made that rider go through the pits at least. I can see that. Guess we'll never know till it happens.

Not really true, though. Lorenzo was punished back in 2005 and he was banned for a whole race and I don't think he ever really was a controversial rider, not any different from Rossi. So the fact that Rossi didn't even get a ride-through during the Sepang race, and might not even get hit with...

lol!!!

Knowing the amount of followers Rossi has (even in the spanish venues), the question is will he booed or cheered in Valencia?

So does that mean the penalty cannot be applied while the appeal is pending? Oh that drama....

No, Lorenzo shouldn't be punished because he didn't do anything wrong. Race direction has already reviewed this incident and they found no evidence of hit happening. Mike Webb has stated that it was due to an overzealous marshall waving his flag right after Lorenzo passes Rossi...

Not at all. In fact i'm all for removing Rossi's penalty points and just minus his championship points to equal Lorenzo's. This way he qualifies as normal and both of them have to earn it by beating each other in the final race. I always envisioned Valencia as the championship is decided on...

It's kinda scary and really strange behaviour. Cult-like almost. Have you seen Lorenzo/Stoner/Marquez's twitter/instagram/fb pages? Thousands and thousands of comments and 99% are all abusive. lol

So what is fair play to you for the last round? To have Rossi have at it with Lorenzo and that others should respect his space and not fight for position?

Well that was quite comprehensive. Clearly, you have a lot of time on your hands. :) With regards to the pit board thing, I don't think we're watching the same race lol. Here's an ideal solution for Valencia: Get rid of Vale's penalty and have him qualify as normal. Minus 7 points from...
