rossi can salvage the championship all to easily all it will take is one mistake from lorenzo , rossi has a 7 point lead if neither finnish rossi is champ
he could opt to go for a soft tyre and rough lorenzo up or perhaps there is the capriosi approach to winning the championship , i was at valencia in 06 when rossi
couldn't loose the championship and im going next week to see one he cant win ........ or can he , i hope not i have never liked all his acting and mind games. lorenzo has been the better rider this year
and will make a better champion
Simon,
I don't think (as many others) that Rossi can win the championship "all to [sic] easily." You seem to neglect that Lorenzo is known for his robotic ability to bang out consistent fast laps over and over again. He just needs to place two spots ahead of Rossi to win the championship, and Rossi needs to pass an entire field of riders, using up his tires and fuel at a faster pace to catch Lorenzo. He must finish right behind Lorenzo or beat him to win the championship. That is not an EASY proposition.
Lorenzo probably came off as the most petty of all of the riders, demanding that Rossi be disqualified so he would have no pressure on him to win the championship. If you remember, he got a DQ in 2005 because he had a notorious reputation at the time as being a reckless and crash-happy rider. Lorenzo rode like dog poo for most of the first half of the season -- and blamed his HJC helmet for fogging each time he lost in the wet. Get a better freaking helmet, you cheap bastard of a champion!
I like Rossi (even with his crazy mind games) and Marquez for his amazing talent. I respect Lorenzo for being fast, but who the hell wants to be a Lorenzo-fan? Hell, I even like Casey Moner Stoner better than Lorenzo.
The Worlds' Biggest Loser last weekend was always a bridesmaid Pedrosa, who rode the balls off his bike and no one cared because of the Rossi-Marquez incident.
