The issue is not with Rossi or Marquez but with Lorenzo. For Lorenzo to win the championship it's not simply enough for Rossi to finish second and Lorenzo win; he needs someone else (or more) to pad the places. Marquez is Spanish like Lorenzo and so the past couple races he's been deliberately toying with Rossi, in an attempt to hold him up and give Lorenzo the title. This is something Rossi expressed after the previous race also and it's pretty obvious he's doing this looking at them. The move in question, for example, would have taken both men out no doubt it's that idiotic so whilst I don't agree with the kick I think the way Marquez has been acting is churlish at best and so, it's down to the showdown in the final race.

I also heard Rossi would start from the back for that race; perhaps not. However this whole thing is a bit crazy because the last thing the sport needs is for the "final showdown" to be deprived due to such conduct.
