Just like 2015, Marquez targets the Italian so another Spaniard can win the title. This time both brothers did it though
I really liked what happened in 2015 though. Rossi shouldn't have antagonized Marc the way he did in the middle part of the season and more specifically, in Malaysia. I thought Rossi losing was perfectly deserved. A more friendlier approach with Marc would have helped Rossi, but he was too full of himself to understand the damage Marc would cause. On the other hand, Pecco is a silly rider with so many mistakes all thorugh the season. Having the fastest bike and factory development, he is making so many mistakes and losing the title all by himself, no one to blame. If this year was painful for him, next year is going to be even more dreadful with Marc on the other bike.
(here we go again :D). I don't understand how manipulating a sporting result on track can be compared to some words outside of the track. Marquez even made sure that Danny on the last race was not able to be ahead of Lorenzo if I remember correctly.
I hated what Marquez did to Rossi and I’m still annoyed about it fwiw!

That said, even as a big Pecco fan, I don’t necessarily see how Marquez did anything this time - especially since he’s going to Ducati and wouldn’t really want to mess that up before it’s started.

I think this is generally on Pecco for too many errors - it’s kinda a bit like a Kimi in 2005 situation (albeit that was more reliability related). I still think the guy who wins 3x the Grand Prix of his rivals “deserves” the title, but it is what it is an d I think these DNFs are an unfortunate part of Pecco’s overall game.

Crazy that Pecco will have won 10 races - at least (to Martin’s 3) - and still not win the title. In fairness, it’ll also be the third year in a row that the title is in jeopardy right until the end because of so many crashes.

Classic Italian nightmares… :lol:

Marc never helped Lorenzo before Rossi started throwing mud at him for no reason after Australia 2015! If he wanted to help he wouldn’t have passed him at the last corner of the last lap!

Same goes for Pecco! If Marc wanted to help Martin he wouldn’t have passed Martin at the end of the Australian GP!

Rossi has brought toxicity to this sport and even though he’s retired we still get this kind of comments about Marc every single race! Can’t be called a “legend” acting like a teenager…

P.S. Pedrosa said that after Aragon 2015 where he battled Rossi, Rossi then asked him after the race if he was supporting Lorenzo… :lol: :lol:
