Dovi's mountain just got higher.
Marky just has to make sure the two nut cases sharing the front row don't take him out.

Marky's gotta crash and Dovi win for Dovi to pull off the championship comeback of the century akin to the Ali/Foreman fight.

Well, he did have to ‘let’ Dovi win last week in order to give him a shot.
Congratulations MM! What can you say about Dovi’s effort?
Pedro stole Zarco’s win on that last lap!
make the beast with two backs you Jorge! You are truly a piece of shit.
MM is not human. Looking at the way he saved that crash in turn 1 is just unbelievable.
And THAT is why Loren’s is a lousy teammate

I watched it...they had messages on his dash, and messages on his pitboard.
I hate Lorenzo.
Big drama. Great job by Dani passing the frog on the last lap. Dovi didn’t have anything for Jorge. If he could have shown him a wheel, he might have let him by. I believe it’s called racing. No idea once again how MM saved that bike. Hilarious when he rolled a 6 with that big die. [clap] [clap]

...and George had nothing for anyone else either.
George was holding Dovi up bro. He was all over his rear wheel, but if Dovi barged through and crashed his title hopes were done.
Then there's the small matter of not following the orders of his boss.
You, of all people, should understand that.
He's slime.
Where's the guy who writes the MotoGP 'letters' [evil]
Marky couldnt help himself [laugh]. That was a forearm and shoulder save, then Marky kept on it in the sand (you could hear the revs on the TV). There were quite a few crashes as front tyres let go (possibly from the heat).
The pit board was very clear and Dovi pushed Jorge early but got gapped later possibly as the front tyre degraded. Jorge's opportunity to be a good team mate was earlier when Dovi was on his tail and trying to establish his rhythm.

I remember, very well, the roar from the crowd at WDW (2012 I assume) when Bayliss entered the stage - followed by the relative roaring silence when Rossi entered. I wouldn't want to be Jorge on that stage next summer.

Seriously though, I reckon he's in alot of trouble with the bosses. If team morale is damaged and goodwill tarnished (which is everything), there could be some surprises.
Give Jack a go!
I did not see anything but smiles and congratulations in the Ducati garage after the race. They even applauded after Dovi crashed out.
You are right. Being the decent human being he is, Dovi set the record straight. In an interview, Dovi said that Jorge was giving him a tow as Jorge likes the place and it's not one of Dovis best tracks.
If he could have dragged him close enough to Dani it would have been a different story, but they couldn’t get there. Jorge finally pulled away before he went down and Dovi wasn’t going anywhere when he tucked it.

As stated in the article, he could have let Dovi passed and let him at least try to get in the fight.

"So I think honestly, you can never really judge perfectly from what you see on TV. And if a rider knows that he has the pace to close the gap to the front, and other riders following him are gaining an advantage from following some clean lines, I think it's fine.“
"This is what we suggest to the rider based on what we can see from the pit box. And the rider knows [more] because he can see the other riders. So in this case, I think if you also speak to Dovi, and he will tell you he thought that at the beginning he was faster in a few corners and slower in other corners, but at a certain point, [following Lorenzo's] clean lines was helping Dovi to ride in a very relaxed way.“
"So the best answer is what Dovi said - and he said it because he thinks it - that in the end he is not upset at all, just he was able to actually relax a little bit [behind Lorenzo] without having to push so much."

Might as well tear up Dovi's contract and re-sign the Maniac. Then they'll have two riders that don't understand the concept of team, and can kiss any chance of a title good bye forever.
I can setup a ‘safe space’ for you guys if ya want. I’ll provide crayons and cookies and unicorn dust for ya to play with. :-*

If...douchebag was faster, and was dragging Dovi along...fine. He wasn't. He was being a narcissistic, egotistical make the beast with two backsing asshole, and Ducati sucks for not showing him the door.
He'll never do as well a Dovi did this year...He won't ever win six races on a Duc in one season...He won't ever win the title on a Duc...and I'll put money where my mouth is...son. You in?
When you are faster than the rider in front of you, you pick your spot and you pass them, like this. I’m sure you’ve seen it countless times.

What about the bet? You in?
I’m pretty sure he won’t either. Maverick struggled this year as well. I have no idea how any of this will play out, but I do know that none of us here race or are involved in anyway with MotoGP. It’s just a make the beast with two backsing sport, doesn’t have even the slightest effect on my life. I just enjoy watching and listening to internet experts. :-*
I'm involved...I pay my subscription every year.
It doesn't affect my life either. Doesn't mean I can't have an opinion...and I'm no expert.

I'm sure the team would not have told Jorghey to let Dovi by unless they could see from the timings and telemetry that he was faster. Dovi is also not going to try a super aggressive pass on his own teammate unless he's sure that he can do it safely and even less when he's supposed to keep it upright to win the race. Being that he's the better teammate he wasn't going to throw anyone under the bus after he beaned it. The only real thing Jorghey could have done to help would have been to channel his inner Iannone and taken out Marquez.
The team said.........IT’S A SUGGESTION and what they/we see on TV may not be what’s actually going on. They are racing, they know better. Dovi said he was being helped by Jorge. Dovi said that, not me or any other internet expert. I tend to listen to him. Maybe I should listen to you instead. :D

When Lorenzo's crew was gesticulating wildly to the pit board that clearly said "-1" as if to say "We have put it on here for a second time", it sure didn't look like they were "suggesting" he drop back.
What is more likely; for Ducati to come out after the race and say "Lorenzo disobeyed a team order for the second time" or "It was just a suggestion, all is good"? Just because all involved parties SAID it doesn't make it true. It just didn't LOOK to me like he was ignoring a suggestion at the time, it sure looked like the team expected him to yield the position.
I'll listen to what the involved parties say after the fact but that still doesn't change my mind in regards to what my eyes saw during the race.
Either way, still a dickhead.

Maybe you can figure a way to explain that to kopf. [roll]
Knock it off Joel.

Either way, still a dickhead.
And this is the most important point. We spent 2 pages arguing about the level of dickheadedness.

I blame Russian meddling.

Jorge blamed it on his helmet liner sagging over his eyes. [thumbsdown]
The boys tested at Valencia hoy.
Valentino Rossi and Alvaro Bautista both walked away from big accidents just after midday, but Bautista - who took a bang to his back after a possible technical issue - did not return.
Suzuki team-mates Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins did not test today due to a stomach virus....

Twas a brilliant move by Jorge. It has all the Monday morning throttle jockeys talking, which will do nothing but drive up motogp.com subscriptions and ticket sales for next year. Everyone love to have somebody to hate, and now Ducati has them a real live bad boy/black hat/asshole. Now'wa days good press and bad press is all the same.... press. If people are talking, that means they are engaged, and not doing something else.
The only bad thing that can come from this, is technology that allows the box to remotely control bike maps.

Jack likes the Ducati.
It doesn't suffer from his two main complaints about the Honda. It's stable on the brakes, and it puts the power down coming out of the corner.
I really hope to this figure out in the season.

Jack 'fell' out of like with the Duc today...not really...but he had a dazed look on his face.
He found the limit ;).
Second duck rider overall and 10 positions ahead of his team mate despite a crash. Not bad.
