Anyone one knows why Rossi chose 46?




MotoGP: Valentino Rossi: Don't retire #46, Suzuka 'when I stop'

“If another rider wants to take that number they can" - Valentino Rossi.


Valentino Rossi is not keen on his famous #46 being retired when he stops racing in MotoGP.

The Italian superstar has become synonymous with the number, using it ever since joining grand prix in 1996 and building a brand (VR46) around it. A winner of nine world titles, Rossi has always rejected the #1 plate.

On a day when Marco Simoncelli's #58 was officially retired from grand prix - it can be used again only with the blessing of the Simoncelli family - Rossi said:

"What the family of Marco - and especially Paolo - have done after 2011 is something very special and I always try to help them. Paolo had this idea of a hospital [for disabled children] a long time ago and whenever we meet he always explained they are at a good moment, so I'm very happy it is now ready [to be built].

"About my number [46], I was thinking... my first impression is that I don't like that the 46 is cancelled. I prefer that it remains and if some other rider wants to take that number they can."

The Doctor also revealed that he is open to racing for Yamaha in the Suzuka 8 Hours, but only after he calls time on what is already a record-breaking MotoGP career.

"I like a lot that race and I love to make also with Yamaha. For me, can be. But the problem is not during the MotoGP season," said Rossi, who won the event riding for Honda, alongside Colin Edwards, in 2001.

"So maybe when I stop because sincerely now I'm too old and we don't have enough time for make the 8 Hour because in reality is the only week or ten days that we have off holiday between the first and second parts of the MotoGP season.

"So if you spend that week in Suzuka is a big stress physically and mentally and I think you can pay in the second half. But maybe in the future when I stop, I want to try with Yamaha. Is a great race."

Yamaha has won at Suzuka for the last two seasons, with the aid of Tech 3 MotoGP riders Pol Espargaro (2015-2016) and Bradley Smith (2015).

Rossi has beaten world championship leader Marc Marquez in all three races since the MotoGP summer break, but remains 50 adrift heading into this weekend's Misano race.

The 37-year-old is contracted to race in MotoGP with Yamaha until at least the end of 2018.

Anybody knows why Aleix hated Rossi?

Has a history together or something else?



San Marino: Rossi: With Aleix, it’s not the first time…

https://twitter.com/crash_motogp/status/774...src=twsrc%5Etfw




Valentino Rossi has explained the reason why a mid-session exchange with Aleix Espargaro became so heated on Friday afternoon, with the Suzuki rider's refusal to apologise after the incident infuriating the Italian.

Fastest on Friday morning, Rossi found himself behind the Suzukis of Maverick Viñales and Espargaro in FP2, but found the latter particularly slow to move off the racing line.

According to Rossi, it was Espargaro's reaction that caused him to raise a middle finger in his direction. “Sincerely, I don't know his behaviour and it's not the first time.

“It happened exactly the same also in Austria,” said Rossi, sixth fastest at the end of Friday and 0.6s off pace setter Pol Espargaro.

“I push and arrive behind the two Suzukis. Both rider see me: Viñales and Espargaro. Viñales go wide and Espargaro remain on the line. Sincerely I don't know why.

“After I say to him something. I say to him, 'What are you doing?' And he said to me, 'F**k you!' so for this I was angry. It's enough to say sorry. But they don't know the way to say sorry. It's better to say, 'F**k you!'”


Espargaro's actions earned him a visit from race director Mike Webb, who warned the Catalan to be more aware of the whereabouts of other riders on track.

“He came to the pits,” said Espargaro of Webb's visit. “It's not normal, because he never comes to the pits. He always calls you to go there. But I imagine, since it's Valentino, he came to the pits.

However, Espargaro contended that he was not a major obstruction for Rossi, and was angered by Webb's subsequent visit.

“He told me to be more aware, but I asked him if they checked the video, and he said 'Yes, and you are not in the middle, you did not disturb him.' And he said, 'But anyway, be more aware', and I said, 'I will not be more aware if I didn't disturb him.'

“I repeated three times to him, "I disturbed him? Did you check the video?' And he told me no, I didn't disturb him. Then I say, 'Then go to talk with him, because I will not be more aware!'”

Looking ahead to Sunday's race, Rossi went on to explain how there is a need to find improvements with Michelin's medium front tyre, that is new for this race weekend.

“The day start in a good way. This morning was a good practice. We work a bit on the bike and especially at the end we put on harder tyres and I feel good and quite fast. We were quite positive for the afternoon. Then we have 15 degrees more. Unfortunately for some reason the harder rear does not work.

“The pace was a lot slower. Also we have some troubles with the front tyre. This circuit is very demanding for the front. Michelin bring a stronger front tyre but after some laps it's difficult. The tyre suffers quite a lot.

“Fortunately at the end I put the soft rear and I did quite a good run. The pace was not so bad. I finish in sixth. We have a lot of work to do, especially with the balance of the bike.

“We will try to improve the performance of the front tyre because the race will be very long, 28 laps. We need to find the way to improve the feeling with the front. Anyway we are not so far. As always everyone is very strong so we'll see if we can continue with a good thing.”

Having sampled a new Yamaha chassis at the post-race test in Brno and in free practice at Silverstone, Rossi revealed that he has reverted to the standard chassis of before. The difference between the two, he said, was very small.

“We decide to use the standard because looking deeply at the data and my feeling we have some things a little bit better, some things a little bit worse. At the end of the lap it's very similar. At the end we decide to use the standard chassis which we know better and [with] which we have more experience.”

Haven't seen Pedrosa like this in a long time

8 different winners record. Definitely more interesting than f1

haha looks like bye bye F1 it is then

lets drive

MotoGP and moto2 looks to be interesting by the end of the season. Moto3 championship seems to be wrapped up already.

One of the best performances by Pedrosa in a long, long while. That move on VR. Whoa!

Did anyone see the video of JL and VR answering a question from a reporter about VR's overtaking manouvre on JL? JL sounds like a crybaby. Say VR was too aggresive with that move and say other riders can overtake more cleanly. VR laughed and they went back and forth about it. DP in the middle dunno what to do. Lol

Expected from JL when he is beaten

JL very funny. Always a cry baby when things went south. "Other rider can pass clean, but that's VR riding style" dunno what the f he talking about.

So lol this interview

This is the full interview. Notice at the wnd of the interview what happens with the reporters. Everyone going in one direction.

I always wanted Dani to become World Champion.

Insanely how he made the soft front end work

The track is > 40 degrees.




Is it too early to say or it is true that Yamaha are focusing on Rossi now.

Lorenzo has no answer to Rossi's pace.



JL, was humble during the 3rd place interview.

Praising Dani and all.

But once a d1ck...always a d1ck



You did not defend well and left an opening gap.

So, people went for it.

No point crying about it.



Dani's move on Rossi was even more aggressive.

I prayed that Rossi won't crash

Track limits; red.

Vinales was ordered to give the place back to Dovi.


But Rossi did not.

Maybe because Vinales gained an advantage over Dovi.

Dani is the man on fire yesterday. no doubt. see him closing the gap bit by bit.

ya might be. Rossi's qualifying time was disqualified due to the track limits too.

Heartbreaking Suzuka 2006; so close yet so far

MotoGP race director Mike Webb has explained that unless there is clear daylight between a bike and the outside of a track kerb, no penalty will be administered.

Webb's comments came in the wake of Jorge Lorenzo's pole position lap at Misano on Saturday – a new outright circuit record no less -, during which the Majorcan appeared to go beyond the track limits.

Throughout the weekend, a spate of riders in all three classes have had lap times chalked off due to using the tarmac outside the painted kerbs, leading many to question the validity of Lorenzo's final lap, which the reigning world champion called one of the best of his life.

"If any part of the motorcycle - one tyre or other, even the side of it - is touching a kerb, it is in,” said Webb on Saturday evening.

“You have to have a clear gap of both tyres outside of the line. Guys are getting away with the front still just on the kerb and the back because it's sliding is off - that's in. we have to have a clear gap that I can defend to the team and say, 'that's out because I can see daylight between'.

"Sometimes it's very hard to see on the [normal] grainy images. The benefit of doubt goes to the rider. So if we can't prove exactly that he or she is out, they get away with it.

"Our guys spend all day, and it's a total nightmare. The amount of man hours we spend looking at that stuff. It's the same people every week and they are making the same judgement I haven't yet disagreed with one of their calls."

On the image of Lorenzo appearing to exceed limits, Webb commented, “There's not a clear enough gap."

Each of the top three qualifiers feel the tarmac beyond the kerbs that replaced grass or dirt is a safety improvement. “For the safety it's a big improvement,” said Lorenzo. “If you go too wide from the curb and you touch the dirt it's very dangerous because you are already fast. Sometimes you cancel your lap but for the safety it's better.”

While the system in place to monitor track limits is time consuming, Webb said how race direction requires hard evidence to present to teams in case they appeal the decision.

"We've got the full HD and different cameras in problem places - we know at each circuit where there is likely to be a problem and we've got guys, as in more than one person, whose only job is to look at track limits and report back.

"What we get is a marshal report, so a marshal with binoculars [says] 'this rider number'. That then get referred to the video operators who find the video reply for that exact corner at hat exact time and review it backwards and forwards, in slow-mo, whatever they need.

"It's either in or out and we need evidence before we do anything, because if it's a pole lap for example we have to be ready to justify it if a team appeals it. The criteria is - and all of the cancelled laps are - both wheels of the bike have to outside of the track and the track is defined by the colours."

Webb admitted he was not aware of Lorenzo completing his fastest lap when Aleix Espargaro had fallen toward the end of the 15-minute Q2 shootout, which may have precipitated the showing of yellow flags at some point on the track.

"I didn't know… I'll check with my stewards. I know we investigated a possible yellow incident and it was deemed not a problem. I'd have to check with my guys if that is exactly the lap you're talking about. We do the same process with yellow flags; we get a marshal report - or we see it live - and then go back and look at all the angles. I want to see the yellow flag, the green flag and the pass and then we do the evaluation.

"You are supposed to slow down and be prepared to stop and in the past we've had Marquez in Silverstone crashing - okay he made a mistake, but he was obviosity going fast enough to push to the limit and was penalise for that."

On how race direction will marshal the matter of track limits during a race, Webb continued, “The rule book says about gaining an advantage. So if we can prove an advantage as in a sector time that's obviously better than the sector times around it, or the gap to riders in front or behind, an advantage is penalised straight away. That's the rule book.

"The thing we struggle we - at Silverstone and here a number of other circuits around the world - the nature of them means you can go out of track limits without being able to prove an advantage. My ruling as race director and it's written and given to the rider is that multiple track limits without an apparent advantage will be deemed to be an advantage.

"The reminder note I sent this week to the teams is the philosophy behind that is, if you are continually going out of track limits - even with no advantage - you're actually using a different race track to the others and have to be penalised for that."

Will Rossi become a Movistar movie star in 2019?

Nicky Hayden to replace Miller at Aragon?


Nicky Hayden looks set to return to the MotoGP World Championship as a replacement for Jack Miller at Aragon.

The 2006 title winner, now competing in World Superbike, had been ready to step in for Miller at Silverstone - before the Australian was declared fit to ride after recovering sufficiently from back injuries at the Red Bull Ring.

But lingering hand injuries sustained in the same accident saw Miller withdraw from last Sunday's Misano race - and strong rumours suggest the Assen winner has ruled out returning to his Marc VDS Honda at Aragon.

Although yet to be officially unconfirmed, it seems Miller needs more time off the bike to allow the hand to heal and by sacrificing Aragon he would be fit for the three flyaway races that follow - including his home Phillip Island event.

Hayden - who took 28 podiums, including three wins, during his grand prix career - claimed his first WorldSBK win at Sepang and is currently sixth in the world championship.

The last time the #69 rode a factory-class RCV (and Michelin tyres) was at the Repsol Honda team in 2008, having steered Open class machines for the Aspar team in 2014 and 2015, following five seasons at Ducati.

Hayden would be the second World Superbike regular on the Aragon MotoGP grid, with Alex Lowes again replacing Bradley Smith at Tech 3 Yamaha...

MotoGP riders to be fined for hand gestures as part of clampdown

MotoGP riders now face fines for delivering offensive hand gestures on track, as part of a new crackdown.

Between the San Marino and Aragon Grands Prix, riders were emailed and told that they would be fined by governing body the FIM.

It follows a prolonged exchange between Valentino Rossi and Suzuki's Aleix Espargaro during practice at Misano.

Impeded by Espargaro, Rossi slowed to ride alongside the Suzuki, gesticulating, even along the main straight after Espargaro entered the pits.

Rossi finished the move by raising his middle finger at Espargaro, one of the moves set to be eradicated.

"You're not allowed to stick fingers up, wanker signs, nothing," said Cal Crutchlow, who joked that it would send him "bankrupt".

"We got an email last week. I'm disappointed with that rule change.

"It adds a little bit of spice. I liked what Rossi did at Misano, why not?

"At the end of the day, it's what you feel at the time.

"It's no different to live TV [commentators] saying it, is it? I like it."

The LCR Honda rider conceded he could understand the move to a point, noting "we don't want to bring a load of bad stuff into the sport".

Rossi agreed with that notion, but felt Espargaro was more in the wrong at Misano.

"Espagaro did a big mistake because he stayed on the line," the Italian said.

"When I was running into him he said to me, 'fuck you!'

"My mistake is that I do like this [raises middle finger], but apart from that I was right 100%.

"When I do this [repeats gesture] maybe I exaggerate a little bit, so it's right you can't do like this.

"But from the other side, when one rider is on the track he has to keep attention to the other one; if not, it's not fair, and it's a lot worse [than hand gestures]."

The news said his times were quite good but yeah no proof. Most likely still too far off hence nothing was released. if it was pretty close, surely they'd post the times.

Obviously they won't say his times are terrible lol.

Like they have time to look at it.

Japan gp this weekend, Pedrosa out with broken collarbone, Aoyama to replace. Ianone replaced by hector barbera

Lorenzo crash

After Friday at the Motul Grand Prix of Japan saw Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo top the combined timesheets by the end of play, title rival Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) hit back on Saturday morning to take over at the top – with Lorenzo suffering a monumental highside in the session, the day after Marquez’ teammate Dani Pedrosa broke his collarbone and withdrew from the event. Lorenzo limped into the Medical Center unaided, before being taken to hospital for a CT scan.

Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) had a good Saturday morning to get closest to Marquez’ time, with the Ducati Team riders of Andrea Dovizioso and Hector Barbera right behind the two leading Hondas. Lorenzo remained P5 despite missing out on a fast time attack at the end of the session.

The two Team Suzuki Ecstar machines of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales were sixth and seventh heading into Q2, with 9-time World Champion Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) ending up eighth on combined times.

Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) was ninth and into Q2, with Danilo Petrucci (Octo Pramac Yakhnich) completing the top ten for automatic entry into the fight for the top grid positions.

Eugene Laverty (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) didn’t ride in FP3 awaiting another check up ahead of FP4, after the Irishman had a big crash on Friday afternoon.

Brilliant pole lap by VR who came from far behind but the race will be tough. Hopefully it will be another great fight between the top 3. Like it or not VR needs JL's help to beat MM too.

Race is at 1.00pm local time.

Woohoo an hour 2 go

Good moto3 race at the end

Rossi out, game over!

WTF happened?
