Both Marquez and Lorenzo are also Spanish.

Dissapointed TBH. He has enough savvy to nerf somebody without making it so bloody obvious! Basic stuff!
That press conference on Thursday pretty much saved Rossi's bacon. It put the spotlight on Marquez. Race direction even agreed with Rossi that Marquez tried to screw him over, if Rossi hadn't pointed this out in the press conference he just might have got a harsher penalty.

Red herring has called it spot on IMO, and for that reason Marquez has spoilt this championship. If Lorenzo wins it will be seen as gifted through the help of Marquez (who I believe has done it for his own benefit so he can eventually win more championships than Rossi) and if Rossi wins people will say he shouldn't have because of this incident.

Marquez tipped into Rossi and nutted his knee with his lid. Both played dirty IMO.

Just pointing out what appeared to be a mistake. Unless of course you meant the one GENTLEMAN who is Spanish.

On a couple of the onboard clips it"s really obvious what was going on.
I think the carrot dangling in front of Marquez was enlarged by being provoked himself on Thursday, nothing to help speed you up more than being called out!!

The yams have always carried more corner speed than Hondas for the past 3 years.

Rossi lost his rag and he shouldn't have been so obvious, but on the other hand Marquez jolly well deserved it!
No one that has raced at motogp level can claim innocence when it comes to harsh overtakes, Rossi has dished out plenty, even leading upto the final incident. It happens all the time its just this time Rossi let it get to him and put himself in a position to get penalised. Maybe Marquez deserved it I don't know but you can't go around saying "Poor old Rossi", "Marquez ruined everything" (Not that you did say that, but some are )

Rossi made his own mind up to take action on track to stop racing and "muck about" the consequences that have occurred may well be undeserved but he could've avoided it. simples.

Any thoughts on the overtake under a yellow flag? Not a single word was said about that despite it being quite obvious.
