Rossi is on the front row with very string race pace and looks like he has found an ally in Iannone

The commentators were saying that Iannone has been getting loads of abuse from the Italian press for not helping Rossi.

Why the hell should he help Rossi
it was funny Rossi out qualifying jlo when jlo thought he was on the front row
I think the biggest allies to Rossi in the next two races will be the Hondas getting in lorenzos way

That's why he has been winding MM up as he knows the Honda's clearing off are the biggest help he can get.

He might want too but it won't happen.

Pedrosa didn't beat the lap record he totally destroyed it and MM has a point to prove with Rossi.

If Rossi is behind MM, MM is going to remember Argentina.

Argentina was a racing incident imo and I doubt MM will be worrying about the past. He will be purely focused on race victorys in the last 2 rounds and you just have to remeber him in moto2 2012 to realise what he is capable of at Valencia (rock)

Racing incident for me. Rossi was in front at all times and therfore had the right to the line.

I really think Rossi, MM and Lorenzo are too professional to be worrying about the past.

They have coaches, managers, personal trainers, shrinks and god knows who else looking after their mental state and all 3 have proved there pretty mentally tough.

Sete Gibernau allowed himself to be screwed up by Rossi's mind games but MM and JL are a totally different calibre and class with a history of being mentally strong. I honestly can see them being influenced by the past or Rossi's mind fook attempts.

We'll have to disagree. I think Rossi cuts him up. He looks then swings to the right,.
