Malaysian Grand Prix, won Pedrosa: Valentino thrown off track Marquez – The Messenger

The appointment of Valentino Rossi with his possible tenth world title is at least postponed, if we do not mean totally failed, all because of a disgraceful act that has nothing to do with a great champion of this caliber. Who he is now seen as a weapon to fire.
 The penultimate race at the Malaysian circuit of Sepang is all in favor of his rival Lorenzo world. Dani Pedrosa wins, the second successful season, but Jorge came in second and earn four points on Rossi, third and protagonist of a bad episode sport that puts at risk disqualification and which is officially under investigation.
 The departure is smooth with a good starting point of the Ducati of Iannone and Dovizioso who are fifth and sixth respectively. Lorenzo part lingered but surpasses in two curves Valentino Rossi, and then also immediately hoisting Marquez in second place. From here on, the top positions will be unchanged until the finish, with the race itself that will trigger behind them. At 5 laps from the street, the heart of the Grand Prix at Sepang, with no holds barred duel between Rossi and Marquez, a sequence of passes and controsorpassi tight, dry and with the intent to seek the melee closer. Nothing to do with wakes and accelerations of power, but rather braking hull against hull and provocations. Complicit in the recent controversy between Spanish and Pesaro, would not it have been otherwise, but this time you went over the unfortunate episode of the Netherlands GP at Assen, when Rossi Marquez walked off the track.

At Sepang you level up, and 13 laps Valentino actually kicks Spanish and causes his downfall. A contact at Turn 14, which opens a second duel also pits. Box Honda Livio Suppo thunders: “Valentino has trimmed a kick to Marc!”, While in the Yamaha instead Silvano Galbraith speaks of normal contact race.

The last lap of a race that everyone imagined sportingly different door to Lorenzo 4 recovery points to Valentino, now ahead of only 7, provided that the sample of Tavullia is not disqualified. Sunday to forget for the Ducati, with Andrea Iannone struggling with technical problems and withdrawal, and Dovizioso finished on the ground after making contact with Cal Crutchlow. The Reds then leave Malaysia dry points.

At the foot of the podium, Bradley Smith, who won the British derby that saw him opposite the Honda of Cal Crutchlow. Excellent sixth Danilo Petrucci with the GP14.2 with the colors of the Pramac Racing.

The justifications. “Unfortunately, I lost a lot of time behind Marquez. Too bad, because I lost points on Jorge Lorenzo and Valencia it will be much more difficult. ” The microphone of Sky, Valentino Rossi talks about the contact with the Spanish, during the Grand Prix of Malaysia: “In turn 14 I tried to go a bit wide to take a better line, then he approached me and then fell “.
