Thread: Moto GP - who will win the championship

I think not having a shot at winning the title is punishment enough--

Unless Lorenzo crashes, is taken out or has a mechanical failure. It ain't over til it's over in motorcycle racing.

Rossi still has 4 points over Lorenzo - we will not know until the checker flag comes out. Worse part is the race is on at 11:30pm.

I think it's 7 points but it's not many anyway

I always record the later races and watch them the next day. It's he'll trying to avoid the media until you want to watch the replay.

It sucks for Pedrosa. He ran a great race but that won't be remembered. He has the worst luck.

....and the punishment doesn't fit the crime. He should have lost any points from that race, and been suspended for at least one more event. Symbolically, they should have taken the championship off him then and there. I don't believe it is enough to reduce his chances. What if Lorenzo crashes out. Do we see a world championship awarded to him after that !!

It's such a pitty that Rossi has had to resort to such dirty tactics. I used to be a huge Rossi fan, and still am a fan to a degree. He rates in my mind as one of (if not the) best I've seen. My favourites are Doohan and Stoner. As previously mentioned he, up until he left Yamaha for Ducati had the best of everything in any team he has ridden for, but does seem to sook it up when things aren't or don't go his way. It's such a shame because in days gone by (whether or not he had the advantage with equipment) he would have simply put his head down and tried to out race Marquez, but now he's playing dirty and blaming conspiracy theories, rather than accepting the fact that some others are just as good if not better. He has done a great job this year and I believe if Lorenzo hadn't of fallen off a few times then he wouldn't be in front, but that's why he is, he has scored points in every round, so why didn't he just keep racing Marquez and try to beat him? I believe he knew he couldn't and that's why now I hope that Lorenzo wins the last race and Rossi finished off the podium, but I'm sure he'll still blame someone else. Maybe its time for him to retire?
