Be Quiet Lorenzo

If Rossi is involved in something Lorenzo will say something because he has something against him i think.

Rossi, Stoner crash

All weekend I kept hearing, from Moody and Ryder, this is where Elias knocked off Rossi. I hope now they will repeat Rossi knocking of Stoner as much at the next Jerez gp.  Take note all you bedazzled Rossi fans, he isn't God, he makes mistakes when he's pushed and in this case he was at fault, and without Burgess he would have won NOTHING.

Stoner has the right to whinge because he was involved, he has a DNF because of Rossi's mistake yet Rossi scored points.

Just to make it clear to all you Rossi fans, Lorenzo is the real genius, just look at consider his age, his record and his dedication.  Enough said

Why shouldn't Lorenzo comment?  He's asked a question by reporters and he answers.  The behaviour of marshalls is as important to him as it is to any rider (or indeed the public).  This isn't some debate between Stoner and Rossi (sorry, we're meant to use degrading abusive terms in here so I think that's meant to be Moaner and Tossi) it's Stoner complaining about the marshalls.  Looking at the comments below - a few people need to take some courses in critical thinking.

Rossi was also well out from under his bike before any marshall got to him so that argument's not valid.  Comments like this or those attempting to blame Stoner for the accident, or the concocting of numerous other fallacious arguments to justify some point in Rossi's favour just shows how the MotoGP fan base has been reduced to some sort of reality TV show cheer squad.  With all of Rossi's amazing riding abilities I'll be glad to see him off as long as his cyclops fans go too.  However, I fear that now they're here they'll just find someone else to latch on to, to become the new disciple.  They might bring money and a higher profile, but it's at a cost not worth paying.

I like Lorenzo, now that he doesn't do the sort of dangerous all or nothing overtaking manuevers he did in the 250s...  Simoncelli seems to have settled down as well.  And here we see Rossi doing a stupid "racing incident" overtaking maneuver and the stupid excuses fly.

lorenzo genius?

Lorenzo was lucky enough to walk onto a bike developed by rossi to be a winner. Yes he may be a good rider but that bike hasnt developed over the pre season. As for being more skilled than rossi I would point to barcelona last corner lorenzo didnt have a clue greatest move ever. over the many years Rossi has faced much tougher opponents than lorenzo and stoner. Biaggi Barros Capparossi in his prime Giberneau before stoner messed him up. Rossi not only raced these people but beat them.

Well he has had one good season so far in moto gp last year when rossi was hurt pedrosa hurt and stoner couldnt stay on the bike. If he had the yamaha rossi stared on i doubt he would be where he is today imo. I do think he is a good rider just not on the same level as rossi or the previous riders i mentioned.
