SEPANG – could be the day of the festival world, it is likely to become Valentino Rossi page worst of his career. A duel of passes made by chills with Marquez then that kick of Valentino to the Spaniard who could become a football at the World Cup. The penalty was severe: three points taken off the license of the pilot from Pesaro which added to the point that he did take the penalty (appeal dismissed) will start in the last row in the last Grand Prix, the decisive one in Valencia. And with just seven points ahead of Lorenzo in the standings, you might want to say goodbye to the title. But perhaps the race is already over because Rossi two hours after the end of the GP said he would not be safe to go in Valencia. “I do not know if I go. Now I decide.” Valentine tries to smile but he does more. “Too bad. I did not want to end like that. I was hoping to battle with Jorge. I, he’s all. Marquez confirmed that I was right: his goal was to get me to lose the championship. He won it. But it hurts.” The Pesaro vows not to have kicked the Honda rider. “It looks very good in the second half from the helicopter, you slowly slide frames: Marc hits me in the left thigh with the right handlebar and begins to slip, just after I lose the left foot from the platform. I did not want to drop it. If I had wanted a kick, I would have done 40 meters before when we were attacked. And then the MotoGP are too heavy to be thrown down with a kick. ” He admits that in that corner has taken offline Catalan, who has almost stopped. It looked menacing. “I’d had enough. He continued to hinder me in those laps I framed at least 6-7 times and it was as if to say: ‘But that c .. do? Leave me alone’. You know when you drive the car?”. Yes, but here’s another thing. “The tender commission told Marquez that I slowed down on purpose.” But the punishment is only for Rossi. “A penalty wrong. Which basically decides the world, starting from the back because it is impossible to think of something to combine. The win Lorenzo. Contrary: Marc”. Maybe it was not a good idea, to attack last Thursday at a press conference. “I was hoping it would stop, to get in the way and encourage Jorge. Instead I made more nervous, bad. But do not regret it: I could not bear to suffer injustice in silence.” Why Marquez going to make much with Valentino? “His manager, Emilio Alzamora, told me: ‘You know, Marc is like that: you did to him losing the World’. I think it’s still angry when he fell in Argentina, and my victory at Assen. There loser, the guy. ” Summoned by Race Commission, the two met again. “And I told him everything I think of him. But it’s very personal.” Farewell tenth title. “If I had lost track would hurt me. But it burns a lot more.” But if the two Honda in Valencia finish first and second … “Better not say anything. Why then I heard Marc, and again passes Lorenzo”. About: Jorge says he has lost respect for Valentino. “I will make a right. But his reaction was very strange. He suspects. I would love to know the truth”.
THE BEGINNING THURSDAY LITE ‘ – all started Thursday afternoon, Rossi when he had gone out with that phrase in the press conference – “Lorenzo a new supporter, called Marquez “- the journalists had smile, because Valentino always jokes. But no. It was enough to observe the strange light in the eyes of Pesaro, which is not removed off to Marc to figure out that Rossi did not feel like laughing. A few minutes later he was in arguing harsh accusations against the champion of the Honda, the one that said that the Doctor has always been his idol “but it is not true at all, you took us all around.” It was 4 days of incredible tension in the paddock. Marc had widened his eyes claiming to be innocent – but the data told a different story of the Australian race – and did not want to get into the controversy. The joke of Lorenzo – “It ‘s all a strategy, because Valentino knows she is not fast enough” – had thrown more fuel on the fire. The Spanish press in particular stressed the syndrome of encirclement of the Doctor, claiming that everyone, even the Italian drivers, did not agree with his words. “Hatchet”, the title of yesterday’s Mundo Deportivo, and “War” also spoke Abc. After the outburst of Thursday, Rossi had preferred not to return to the subject, merely contending that he “simply told the truth, nothing but strategy.”
LORENZO furious – The press conference of the top 3 opens so surreal. Because the third – Valentino – has already left the paddock and then come back after an hour and tell his side. Jorge Lorenzo believed to already have the title in his pocket, and now is furious with Race Direction: “An unfair decision. Taking only in the name of Rossi. If it was any other driver, he would be disqualified. But he is too important, for the MotoGP. So important to him that the rules do not apply, do not apply. ” Three penalty points on your license only. In two weeks, the last and decisive race, the Pesaro start at the bottom of the grid. “And if it rains, after a few rounds may already find themselves in front. At this point I do not know who is favored, between him and me. I just know that if you win the championship, it will not be the right sample.” Jorge has harsh words against his teammate. “Maybe it’s the greatest driver in the history, but sportingly lost my respect and all other motorcycle enthusiasts.” But what it was to be the punishment for him? “The disqualification, as a minimum. Zero points, zero points as well as Marquez took his fault. This is not about a contact in the race, no. Here we have a driver who first carries out another, and then he kicks. What more do you want. When something like that happened to me in 2005 – and that day I fell – I held firm for three consecutive races. ” Lorenzo’s got even with his team. “Yamaha has joined Vale in the race commission. But he still had to ask a just penalty”. At this point the relationship between Jorge and Valentino seem finished. Or not? “Professionally, it does not change anything. It’s not me, that was thrown down.” Too bad he can not defend the Pesaro. “It could have been present at this conference. But sooner or later everyone will have to account for his behavior.”
MARQUEZ: “Crystal clear images” – Mike Webb, race director, explains the decision penalize Rossi with 3 points on your license. “It was not possible to determine whether or not Valentino has hit with a football Marquez.” The sentence refers to the way the Pesaro set the curve 14, leading deliberately outside his rival. Marc opens his eyes: “The images are crystal clear: I was faster, he went inside to go straight and almost stopped. He looked at me twice before they pull me a kick.” Catalan grimaces, but says the decision to accept anyway. “This is not a racing incident. This is something out of this world, unacceptable: in race one soprassa, there may be contact and goes well the battles, but it is pure madness.” Even though the courts have said that Marquez has deliberately slowed the Italian. “No, we have set both nuisance because we had two different pitches. The truth is that Valentino has lost control.” A revenge foul. As in football. “In football there is a red card: expulsion. Instead I ended up in the pits, zero points. He Third, he has taken 16″. But Lorenzo had no problems to overcome, when he attacked. “I made a mistake in setting a curve, almost end up in the grass.” Vale would say terrible things, the race committee. “Yes. I yelled words that I’d rather not repeat.” What will happen now between you two? “This story can not go on like this. We can not go further.” One day you come back to tell you about? “Maybe in the future. Not now.” It makes a gesture with his hand, as if to ward off something very, very unpleasant.
RACE DIRECTOR: “HAVE BOTH WRONG” – “We listened to both drivers, we are of the opinion that there was fault on both sides, but according to the rules Marquez has not sought any contact, and did not break any rules, but we believe that his behavior was bothering Rossi therefore reacted. Unfortunately reacted a way that goes against the rules. ” Mike Webb, Director of the MotoGP race, explained the reasons for the penalty imposed against the Yamaha rider after contact with Marc Marquez in the Malaysian Grand Prix. Management has imposed, he said, “three penalty points to Valentino Rossi for driving irresponsible that he deliberately caused contact”. “You deliberately went off in turn, trying to get the other driver off line. The result – he added – was the incident that we have seen: it is therefore driving and for that we imposed on Rossi three penalty points. It seemed star of seeing a good race, but unfortunately it was the ending this dispute. What were the points of view of the drivers? Can I provide an overview rather than report the exact words, because it was a hearing doors closed “, said Webb. “Marc said he was doing his race waiting for the tires waiting for his tires would enable him to push as soon as possible. Valentino was of the opinion that Marc has deliberately slowed down the pace for the race.” “If Yamaha does not accept the decision of the commissioners, has five days to file an appeal to the Disciplinary Court of Fim,” concluded
