Problem is that's its not even about Rossi vs Lorenzo any longer because of the petulant child Marquez. Marquez interfering in the championship means most people only care about Rossi vs Marquez. Im a Lorenzo fan but Id love to see Rossi win the championship from the back of the grid and make it a 10th world title, that would be heroic and far more deserving than Lorenzo winning it with help from Marquez trying to fuck up Rossi. Though I have wanted Lorenzo to win all season the way he nehaved after the last race has left a nasty taste. He was nearly as spoiled little brat as Marquez.
Anyway, Rossi to finish 4th from back of the grid for me, 50/50 on who gets the championship.
Hopefully someone else takes out the dirty little spaniard Marquez on the way through so he cant interfere.

If Lorenzo wins it unfortunately its a tainted title with an asterisk next to it because of Marquez, If Rossi wins it he's a hero. Poor Jorge, he loses whatever the outcome.

Five minutes to the start of the FP1
Best MotoGP season ever. I do feel bad for Lorenzo, however. If he wins, the narrative is going to be that Marquez cost Rossi the championship (whether or not it's true). Rossi shouldn't even be in contention. The strange weather conditions and Lorenzo's DNF in Misano have saved Rossi's championship hopes. Lorenzo has been dominant at times, which I can't say about Rossi.
Prediction for this weekend
>Pedrosa pole, Marquez starts second
>Lorenzo starts third
>Rossi starting from the back of the grid
>Rossi passes all the backmarkers in a few laps
>Rossi gets to 5th place but gets held up by a Ducati rider (Iannone), who will be strong in the straights
>Rossi gets 4th
>Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Marquez 1 2 3
>Lorenzo wins the championship

Watching Live, Ill be watching every session this weekend :) Loronzo just had a little tantrum in the pits about something.
Italians ITT:
How big of a news story has the Rossi/Marquez rigmarole been in Italy?
How famous is Valentino Rossi? Is he comparable to LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez, Sidney Crosby, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, etc.?
>>63362724
I lived in Rimini from 2009-2012. Rossi is bigger that all but maybe LeBron, even then thats debatable. Rossi is front page news on all the newspapers in Itly this week, not just the sports papers.
Woah, spectacular lap of Lorenzo
won't somebody please think of Pedrosa?
>>63363288
I think he will win this race
Rossi could be the slowest champion ever.

Five minutes to FP2 MotoGP
>wild gibbers spotted
the fix is in, rossi is done for
Times of FP2
Lorenzo has been doing a training to improve with the worn tyres. That is interesting because Valentino has been doing the practice to have the best race pace.
Lorenzo knows it and awaits an attack from Valentino in the final laps
>>63363476
>Pedrosa, Iannone, Lorenzo
>Rossi 5th or 6th
It's quite possible actually. If Lorenzo is 1st or 2nd, then Rossi is fucked
>>63362724
>How big of a news story has the Rossi/Marquez rigmarole been in Italy?

FP3 results are bretty intriguing. Iannone quickest just ahead of Rossi, Lorenzo in 5th, not setting a representative time.
>>63380159

Ianonne confirmed for torpedoing Lorenzo in the first corner to ensure Rossi wins. Why is Andrea such a bitch?

That what happens when qualifying doesn't matter. Hard to get motivated if you already know that you don't get anything out of it.

nah it's just mo rossi "mindgames" yo he a genius he dindu nuffin wrong
Spaniards clearly fiddled with that space of asphalt as they knew at that exact moment in time and space that the track conditions would align with the suns gravitational pull as that when Rossi leaned just to the perfect degree he'd go sliding off
>>63382665
marquez and lorenzo were probably having homosex on that spot and it dun caused rossi to crash!
marquez kicked rossi off with his mind
>list of things Stoner fans can't handle:
>Rossi
>bantz at the corkscrew
>lactose
>>63382915
nobody even mentioned stoner once this thread, shitaly clearly incapable of handling .5 of a gram of bantz to get this butthurt.
>>63382915
>list of things Rossi couldn't handle
>Stoner
38 wins to 26 in the years they were both in Moto GP bruh, including Stoner's rookie year. Not even close.

>>63383099
Stoner was definitely one of, if not, the best rider in the motogp class but god damn did he have a boring personality. Same reason im not a fan of jorge or dani.
Marquez and Rossi both have a personality that makes it interesting to watch.
Is there anywhere i could watch the qualifying lads or was it all livestreams?
>>63382915
at least stoner could get a world championship on an italian bike.
