Oh, come on! Tell me what Lorenzo did that is so damn deplorable.

See, that seems to be the ONLY thing which has a unanimous opinion. Rossi intentionally ran the bike wide. He said as much himself. He put the bike there, Marquez could only respond.

Consider the proximity of these two, and how Marquez was leaning into Rossi. A foot has far more dexterity thank a shoulder or elbow (which are the limbs a brake guard primarily has to stand up to). Knowing full well that Rossi’s leg/foot came off his peg, it is not a stretch to believe it could have made contact with…

Any ideas how they’ll prove it was Rossi’s foot and not Marquez’s hand that applied the brake pressure?

Well said.

Good point, yeah.

Yeah, but... they’re the same Repsol.

Pre-Release? That’s disingenuous, and implies that the game wasn’t officially released - which is a bold-faced lie Warner can use to cover their ass.

Riding a bike makes you feel vulnerable in a way driving a car never can. It makes everything just feel so much more... real. When it goes right, it feels so damn right. But when it goes wrong - and there are plenty of opportunities for it to go wrong - you hold your breath and count.

So what you’re saying is that any car is the worst for sitting in traffic, because sitting in traffic is the worst.

Yeah, I too hate it when someone else gets what they want at no one else’s expense. Next time that happens, I’ll be sure to exact vengeance by attempting to murder them. Because I am ENTITLED to feel validated.

This definitely seems to be a reoccurring theme at Phillip Island.

Tell that to the Taxi industry.

Haters gonna hate.

It’s a... flip? I mean, who cares what it is called, the bike straight-up flipped over.

Wrenching costs me too much money, mostly because I keep making things worse before I make them better.

Come now - this is nothing more than that dealerships way of saying “your car is old and we want nothing to do with it - but if you can’t be bothered to try elsewhere we will gladly extort you, with your permission, for the trouble of having to deal with it”.

and that you aren’t Rossi, Marquez, or even De Angelis.

The speed should have little to do with this. If he was on the autobahn or even on certain highways in Texas it would have been legal.
