Jarvis: Rossi ‘destroyed’, recovering motivation
Yamaha’s Jarvis says that Rossi was “destroyed” by his situation.
When you put in all this energy and strive for the title every day until the last lap, and then you see the target vanish, you find yourself destroyed. Understandably, Valentino was completely empty. The best thing for him would have been to have months to recover and find a new motivation. But on the second day of testing, he had a different expression; he had rediscovered his enthusiasm. It was what we hoped to see…In [the last] three weeks [of the season], all the MotoGP riders, teams, organisers, came under stress: small cracks have widened dramatically. It’s important that Dorna and the FIM can review and analyse what happened, and then make the necessary changes. If the season starts without finding solutions, without discussing it appropriately, then everything will be very difficult.
On my sincere opinion, both Honda and Yamaha was forced by Movistar (major sponsor of Yamaha), Repsol (major sponsor for Honda) and backed by Dorna to make things easy for Lorenzo to win the title. They are all Spanish companies and FOR SURE they would prefer a Spanish Champ over an Italian one. This is really serious and shows how CORRUPT MOTOGP has become. I love motorcycle racing but I will not support manipulation nor scheming from sponsors/manufacturers! I’m really sad with this episode and probably will not follow MotoGP anymore. Can’t help feeling mislead, tricked, fooled…and this feeling no one can take it back! Good luck MotoGP.
To add more shamed facts„
1. All 25 riders in MotoGP- 10 riders are Spaniard
2. All 18 tracks- 4 tracks are in Spain. (while there are many compliant tracks available around the world, Dorna tends to lockdown 4 slots of races belong to Spain soil)
3. MotoGP grand-finale ALWAYS held in Valencia…yup! Spain again
4. Dorna+Repsol+Movistar→A devastating triad in motoracing.
5. Dorna recently acquired FIM’s World SBK into their control and monopoly as in MotoGP.
Yep, so do I. I have lost interest in motogp. If someday Rossi decided to quit from motogp, that’s the moment I’ll say goodbye to motogp.
Motogp are now corrupt.When RD punished Rossi for running MM wide RD said that MM had deliberately slowed VR down (that is race fixing) but then did not punish him. The race in Valencia was just a joke VR mad his way from the back of the grid to fourth and in the menatime MM and DP guarded Jl to ensure he won the title. This is unbelievable and I just wish that someone could bring a case of race fixing. I contacted Sepang circuit to see if it was against the law in their country and they said I should contact FIm which of course I did, I am still waiting a reply.. I feel like I have personally be conned but so have all the other riders because it could happen to them one day. When I go to watch a race I expect the fastest man on… Read more »
