Nice piece of psychology by Rossi...

.. at the Brno GP, let Lorenzo pass you, then psych you into falling off! Worked for Casey last year at Laguna, now look at him.. he's off sick.
I'm surprised Lorenzo hasn't fitted mirrors to his bike.
That's what happens when you let boys into a man's sport.

Yeah.

I thought Lorenzo was pushing Rossi pretty hard, and he was, how many lap records did they roll off. Just goes to show the mental toughness of Rossi as well as his remarkable ability.

The two of them were trading lap records, and both looked pretty much on the limit. Then Jorge found the limit and exceeded it...

I still reckon Jorge will probably be a multiple MotoGP World Champion. Just probably not while Rossi is still around, is all...

Nah Jorge will never be world champion, he'll do himself to much damage before he is able to claim it.
