Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Does Rossi want to get into a fight with the Hondas with 2 races remaining? MM has nothing to lose and Rossi has previously punted him off the track.

MM over took Jorge on the last lap therefore denying Lorenzo 5 valuable points.

I like Rossi a lot but he is talking shit in this instance imo.

And MM suggested in the race that they stop swapping places and all chase Lorenzo.

Rossi likes his mind games so can only think he is trying to provoke or agitate others and get under their skin.

Rossi is prodding the wrong rattlesnake. MM has nothing to lose.

God only knows what his hidden strategy is but a penny to a pound those comments will have been carefully planned by Rossi to aid his cause.

He is not only a master racer, but a master tactician and he rarely makes mistakes or speaks out of turn.

I love Rossi but in this instance he's talking crap and needs to go out and beat Jorge fair and square

Seems Rossi plan is wind MM up so he makes a point of proving Rossi wrong and clearing off and winning the race. This then reduces the points differential between the two Yamaha's if they finish behind MM where less points are available.

the pressure is getting to him

It looks that way

He's playing mind games with Marquez and Lorenzo. Wind Marquez up to make him win the next two races and piss Lorenzo off enough to go chasing him and fall off.

Rossi thinks he's got the advantage over MM because he's come out on top this season in Argentina and Assen.

The thing is Marquez has his career ahead of him. He's got time to win other titles, Rossi hasn't.

If Marquez wants to he can punt Rossi off the track in a racing incident.

I can't wait for this race.

I just hope the title isn't won by somebody falling off. I want a duel between the world's best racers that has me on the edge of my seat like the PI race.
