    He was pushing him wide, no more, it's not laying down the law, it's racing. Some of the overtakes by MM were mental, you could see a big off coming, on lap 5, not the last lap.

    Pushing people wide or diving up the inside are standard practices in both bike and car racing. These two were taking that to the 'silly bugger' level and Rossi was the better 'silly bugger'.
    Perhaps a finacial or points fine for both for dangerous riding or bringing the sport into disrepute. I hope an appeal is succesful.
    I only have one vice…I lie.

    I do agree with Colin Edwards though that you don't mess with a rider that's competing for the title if you're not in contention.
    This will come back to bite Marquez in the bum. The fans won't put up with it.

    And as for Lorenzo, what he said, makes me dislike him even more than i did before.

    Rossi got three points, add that to the 1 he already had, he starts from back of the grid. Now this could be the best race ever in Motogp history, or a massive fizzle out if Lorenzo just grinds out the laps, and Rossi cannot get through the pack.

    I'm really hoping that the pack will let Rossi through and Ducati will tell Ionnone and Dovi to tow him to the front.
    It'll be an absolute coup for Ducati.
    Just think how popular they'll be with the Italian fans.
    Unfortunately Rossi isn't great at Valencia.

    A bit of rain, and we could have a rerun of Silverstone

    I would love to see him win the championship one more time.

    Agree with Colin Edwards too.

    Never liked Marquez anyway

    Colin Edwards never said it, he was re-tweeting Laverty's tweet

    Here's a frame by frame shot of the action, MM engineered his own demise.
