I respect your opinion Red and I'm a big fan of Rossi. I view his penalty for running MM wide as lenient. We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

As a fan of the sport it's horrible to see the championship decided by race control compounded with interference from a rider who is not in the running (MM was f*cking with VR in the last 2 rounds and we all know why [Assen Argentina and recent VR comments]). We, the fans, have all been robbed of a championship that was fairly fought by all parties.

I really hope to see VR in the leading group by lap 4 or 5 without another rider giving any quarter, it's a huge obstacle though.

VR's 10th championship would be all the sweeter if he actually pulled it off
