RE: 2018 Moto GP

It just pops in my head so I had the Maniac for the win. Rossi was looking good in the beginning. Yanni, you have to go to the lower part of the screen, select the riders blocks, drag and drop the rider of choice, watch and listen to their lines and throttle app. Rossi is so smooth on the lines, shifting, throttle app, it's one complete package. All those years of experience shows how GREAT he is/was. (just rubbing it in, Yan)

PI is one of the more beautifully located tracks on earth. Sitting in the saddle sorta speak, then to look around the rider's body, aim my eyes way out to the next corner, it takes some commitment to keep from lifting at that angle the bike is at. And being leaned over for that long, whatever Zarco must have said must have something to do with what I see?

Every time you lift, that's hundreds of seconds accumulating. I then d&d Rins onto the screen. He and Miller were out there on their own. Miller would go deep into the first turn and Rins would not lift thru the fast corners. Or should I say, Rins would keep it open where Rossi would be off the throttle at the same left sweeper. That's how Rins made up the time catching up to Miller and then Rossi? I'm usually swapping riders during the race so I'll have to watch the commentary later.

Yammie must have found something in the black box, because, are not the engines sealed from the start of the season? Mav had a decent bike under him so the performance was there and whatever they found. Rossi had the same package, and his style chassis setup is the only difference. But if you match farts with old and scramble those words up, what is yammie thinking?

Again, you don't hear commentary if riding with said riders. So whatever blurbs I heard, Pasini had 8 or 9 first row qualifying poles, so he's a short fused fasty. Quickest guy out there on different tracks, however. Mir is still on my roster for next year. Zarco would have done something if not for the incident. So I'll stick with Zarco as well. I'm looking at this new kid. His name is Celestino Vietti, Only his second race in GP and takes a 3rd. He's Italian and that means Rossi has trained him at his academy. That means Rossi stays in the game bringing up the 'field fillers' from Italy. Shit, Yanni, he's here to stay.

Good!
There is no doubt MotoGP would not be the same without Valentino Rossi.
Whether its out front on a bike or behind the scenes I hope Rossi is around in the game for a long time to come.

All I want acknowleged is for Rossi to be recognised as a dick when he is one, and also the fact that he is no longer the fastest out there and that the new breed have taken over.
Not too much to ask as far as I can see.
But the typical Rossi fan will not hear a bad word against him.
Truth and facts don't seem to matter.

I dislike Valentino Rossi primarily because of the way he has transitioned from fastest to no longer fastest in the MotoGP paddock.
It has clearly shown up his lack of character and sportsmanship.
And he paid the ultimate price for this by throwing away a 10th Championship in 2015.

But then I also know my views on the guy are definitely in the vast minority...

If you watch you can see Rossi's rear tire goes off in a big way about 2/3 distance. It was over for him at that point. Maverik got his bike figured out to perfection. But he needs to do that every weekend. How come no anti-Vinales comments for the rest of the year when Rossi was beating Maverik??
I think Marquez shouldn't have moved over onto Zarco. Johan was about 3 inches from the grass when Mark pulled across and hit the brakes. Zarco had nowhere to go. I guess maybe he should have waited a bit. Thankfully he's ok. Other than that , a pretty good race. I wonder if Suzuki is asking itself, " Why did we get rid of Iannone again???"

Heard that Borenzo zinged Dove from home. Made a statement congratulating Bautista for being as fast as Dovi after one weekend on the factory GP18.

How come no anti-Vinales comments for the rest of the year when Rossi was beating Maverik??

Thats easy to answer Mad.

The reasons are
Vinales has made no ridiculous comments like Rossi.
Vinales has made no foolish accusations like Rossi.
Vinales is not credited as the only reason the Yamaha finishes well in a race but the bike is blamed when it doesn't.
When Rossi doesn't qualify well it has to be the bike. When Vinales doesn't qualify well Vinales is struggling.
Although a disappointing year, Vinales has showed character and sportsmanship by what he has and has not said.
Vinales doesn't have fans who see it his way only without question.

The two factory Yamaha riders are on similar machinery so
When Rossi beats Vinales his setup is better and rides better.
When Vinales beats Rossi his setup is better and rides better.
Is that such a difficult concept?

And there you go.
Brilliant until 3.5 laps to go and choked under the relentless pressure of Marquez bearing down.
How many times have you seen that from Rossi?
Rare as hens teeth.
But the times, they are a changin!

Even I wanted a show down between the two and would have even settled for a VR46 win.
But not to be...

Well, I dragged and dropped MM onto the screen, watched him pass Rossi in the early laps and then took a grandpa nap. I was maybe 3 laps in and lights out. I saw MM pass Rossi on the brakes and that's all I remember. I'll have to watch the repeat later today. I was mixed between RR and Rossi. Qualifying showed Rossi was on his game, so he looked like he had the potential to do what Rossi does, i.e., don't count him out. I was more for MM cleaning up the field.

For Zarco to wipe that last crash out of his head shows a true racer. I'm wondering if there's going to be a big moto2 problem with a field of brit-built-time-bombs? Haven't a clue if they're 3 or 4 cylinders? E-bikes should be a hoot to watch riders on equal bikes. Team Honda is another 'gotta watch' these two go at it all [next] year.

I'll be looking at Rossi's stepbrother to do well in the last race. Motogp keeps delivering!

Oh too bad for VR I was hoping for a win. Wonder what the crash-out will do for his head and retirement?

On a side note, watching the slowmo of the VR crash I noticed he wears half boots not the full high boots. Do other racers also sport half boots too? I 100% prefer my Astars half boots on the street but have always gone with the full boot at track day or ACH/mountain twisties

Hub, Marquez pass Rossi in the early laps?

You must have either been watching a different race or were dreaming during your grandpa nap.
The only time Marquez went by Rossi is when Rossi crashed...

Yeah, I just watched the race on a repeat hours ago. I must have been dreaming then. Rossi was doing well right from the start. Rins came from a long ways back, but damn that kid is smooth. Zarco would twitch the bike, Rins would turn the bike effortlessly.

Jeebus Yannih.. Maverik is almost a total douche when things aren't going right. When he's down he's WAY down. Won't talk to reporters, won't talk to his crew. When things are going good Vinales is a pleasure.
And Rossi leads almost the entire race, after some of you have called him too slow yet you still give him no credit.
Did he make a mistake under pressure? Yes. Has anyone else done the same thing? Yes, including Marquez.
Until there are riders who can consistently out perform Rossi week in and week out Yamaha is getting their money's worth out of him.

Agreed.
But you don't see poor sportsmanship or disrespect to his fellow riders.
And Rossi leads almost the entire race, after some of you have called him too slow yet you still give him no credit.

Did you not read what I wrote Mad?
"Brilliant until 3.5 laps to go and choked under the relentless pressure of Marquez bearing down."
One of the key words is "Brilliant".
Did he make a mistake under pressure? Yes. Has anyone else done the same thing? Yes, including Marquez.

Again, did you not read Mad?
"How many times have you seen that from Rossi?
Rare as hens teeth."
And did I ever say ,Marquez or anyone else is perfect?
Until there are riders who can consistently out perform Rossi week in and week out Yamaha is getting their money's worth out of him.

Rossi could start finishing last and Yamaha would still be getting their moneys worth with Rossi's popularity.
I mean look at your defence of him Mad...

What else was he going to say?

Though it wouldn't have surprised me if he had somehow blamed Marquez for it...

Rossi is 3rd in the rain. Old Farts Rule. There's 2 people in 1. Track performance, and street clothes. Some have a problem with personality traits. I have no hero's just for that reason. But on the track, there is someone else when the helmet goes on.

Last race of the season. Next year is new blood from moto2.

High praise when the full story with all facts hasn't actually been told here.

Valencia MotoGP Day 1
Rossi 12th in Free Practice 1 (rain and then drying).
Rossi 3rd in Free Practice 2 (rain).
Combined result of 12th overall and outside the top ten and Q2 with more poor weather predicted for the rest of weekend.
Therefore 12th out of 25 riders after the days efforts.
You think Valentino would be happy with this?

Yet another case of "Rossi Reporting".

You are better than that Hub...

My search was shown 3rd and no other free practice rounds mentioned. I hear his excuse was setup. But you gotta admit, 3rd in the rain is not too shabby for our favorite rider. Last 3 laps for qualifying is another race against the clock. Don't know how long I'll last staying up for this one.

Mir jumped on a suzy gp bike in japan. Looks like the maniac's contract might be up for grabs. Young guns are being courted. Mir and Rins as team mates sounds like a good combo. I'm watching yesterdays moto2 practice. I've seen this Roberts kid coming up at a local track. Keith Code groomed him for awhile. I hear he's riding a not so competitive bike. Thus, hp is not in the equation. Daddy's got bank, but then again, this is a rich man's sport like auto racing.

I'll check the results later.

How do you like your motogp... More-More-More! Well, looking back on this year's motogp, I made mention:

"All the usual suspects. I'm thinking Zarco will be a problem this time around. Lorenzo if he can steer it. Honda remains in the hunt. Mir is someone to watch and Pasini in that class." (feb)
Zarco; He had his moments of entertainment. More like internal goings on changing teams, so maybe next year might bring something more solid.
Lorenzo; It was a knee granny grabber to steer it. That tank extension was all it took.
Mir; Yeah, even suz gave him a test ride so I wonder how that went... contract wise?
Pasini; Qualified 8 times but couldn't follow thru. Racing luck call it.

"Rins and Mir have the potential to push each other faster." (june)
What a team if this combo comes to fruition.

"Like I said, and yannih is going to take it all back, but you can never doubt The Doctor. The old fart still can show you how it's done." (may)
Third in points on the final tally. One of the usual suspects. Last race and you gotta admit, yannih, Rossi out-rode the field. No one followed him to the front. I pulled Rossi onto the screen at the start. Stayed with him for so many laps in the beginning. That late lining motherfucker was knocking off whatever was in front of him. That's why I picked him first. Master in the rain. If anyone was going to do it, yannih (cough) it be Dr. Old Fart.

2018 Results:
Lorenzo- Most impressive; to jump on a strange bike and finally figure it out.
Rins- It's a gut feeling with this kid. Raw talent shinning thru.
Mir- Same cut of the cloth as Rins. A potential up and comer.
Pasini- I thought he would win the big one. No matter the direction of the track, he out-rode the field.
Zarco- I expected more, however, he had his moments.

Rossi- Honorable Mention that I mention: no matter your feelings about the guy, you can't hate the heart behind his riding.

I have never seen a MotoGP race with so much unbridled joy and emotion when the top 3 pulled their bikes into the podium area.
That race was just epic and anyone who finished was a winner.
Congratulations to KTM. Unbelievable 3rd place. Best finish ever for them and first time on the podium. Pol Espargaro understandably cried like a baby. Incredible ride and comeback after being on the deck earlier in the race.
Rins was absolutely brilliant. His talent and the Suzuki are really starting to show the results.
Dovi was just Dovi and showed supreme class. A massive contender for the title next year.

"Like I said, and yannih is going to take it all back, but you can never doubt The Doctor. The old fart still can show you how it's done." (may)

More "Rossi Reporting" from you again Hub!
Did you actually watch the race?
I was getting ready to give credit where credit was due here when Rossi was running second and looking set for an incredible podium from a 16th position start. Super smooth rain riding to that point when so many around him couldn't handle the conditions and crashed (including Marquez).
But for the second race in succession he threw it all away, choked again by throwing it down the road, and joined all the list of crashers, this time with no pressure from another rider behind.
Remounted and instead of a brilliant podium finished 13th.
Of course it's Valentino Rossi so all just mention the brilliance of his riding though the field.
Wouldn't bother me because it's true.
But unless I mention the fact that he has made two massive uncharacteristic errors in the last two races that have cost him very dearly, Rossi's short comings simply go unreported.
Mention it all Hub, good and bad, and you get credability.

Well, looking back on this year's motogp, I made mention:

I only made one prediction pre season Hub.
"If any of the main riders finish, Rossi will not win a race".
And it proved correct.
No wins for Rossi.
Again...

Well one thing is for sure, Marquez will definitely not have it all his way next year.
Just too much talent. (Give Dovi/Ducati a 2019 Championship I say).
Shaping up to be a cracker.

Thanks to all for their contributions for the 2018 season and see you again next year for another round...

More Rossi Reporting Inn
11/19/18 10:30 PM

Remounted and instead of a brilliant podium finished 13th.

Sort of scored more km and could keep lapping up the km's. So therefore, out scored the field km wise... crashes included.

Of course it's Valentino Rossi so all just mention the brilliance of his riding though the field.
Wouldn't bother me because it's true.

Only reason he scored those points to finish 3rd was gathering points riding (your ass) thru the field.

Rossi's short comings simply go unreported.

The bike was not competitive, remember. Only late in the season did Mav score one win near the last few ending rounds. Rossi still out pointed his team mate in the end.

I know you have a beef with the guy, but I'm just fun'inn witchew is all.
