Shuff's General Chat Thread ... #73 - Talk about anything and everything...  

Find it quite funny that there is a lot of booing at the home race for Jlo and MM and they are all cheering Rossi.

“This is the final of the championship that I personally, and also I think a lot of people, don't want to see because it was a great season, with a great battle with Marquez and especially Lorenzo,” said Rossi, speaking in front of a mixed audience of media, Movistar Yamaha guests and VR46 fan club members - some of whom were in tears.

“I think that this championship had the potential to become one of the best of the last years because the battle with Jorge can arrive at the last point at the last race.

“But unfortunately at the last three races something changed and something happened that nobody expected. First of all me, but also a lot of people. That is Marc Marquez decided to protect Lorenzo to help him win the championship.

“So the problem started at Phillip Island and became worse and worse. We arrived in Malaysia where unfortunately we touch and Marquez crash. Then I learn on Thursday that I had to start last here - I knew already my championship was finished because I was sure Marquez wanted to finish his work and try to protect Lorenzo also in the last race.

“I said this already Thursday and it happened exactly as I expected.

“Today the race was quite embarrassing. The last lap I think was quite bad for all the sport, because something happened that never happen before. I'm not desperate [at losing the title] because I think I play my cards in the best way, but I'm very sad with this finish.

“I was ready to lose the championship to Jorge, who is always very fast, but this way for me is not fair.”

Marquez denies ever assisting Lorenzo: The outgoing double champion taking five points from the Yamaha rider by passing him for victory at Phillip Island, citing front tyre issues for his fluctuating pace, and insisting there was nothing unusual in the frantic Sepang battle until Rossi made his extreme move.

And Valencia?

Marquez said if he was trying to help Lorenzo he would have been five-seconds behind, not applying constant pressure from a few bikelengths away. The #93 added that a planned late attack for the lead never materialised because he lost time when briefly passed by Pedrosa.

Crash.net asked Rossi to respond to Marquez's explanation.

“For me if you check the races of Marc Marquez in the last two years you know he always tries to overtake and minimum on the last lap. So the question is, why Marc Marquez never tried to overtake Jorge Lorenzo and never tried to make one attempt on the last lap?” Rossi replied.

“The situation became very embarrassing for Pedrosa, because Pedrosa was far [behind] and in the last laps he recovered two-seconds, which means that it is the pace of Jorge and Marquez just waited.

“And for me, he [Marquez] likes that it is clear that he helped Lorenzo, because after when he take off the helmet he is just saying it is not true. But, when he knows I will look at the television and it is clear that he helped Lorenzo, for me he is happy.”

Rossi also turned his sights on Honda: “The position of Honda is very strange. I don't know how a manufacturer can be agreed that one of its riders make the Yamaha win and try to fight just with his team-mate [Pedrosa]. This is very strange. But sincerely I don't understand.”

Speaking to the Italian media Rossi went even further, branching out his attack to include criticism of Lorenzo (for his post-Sepang comments) and the championship organisers (for not addressing Rossi's concerns after Australia or Malaysia).

Paddock opinion remains divided as to whether Marquez could have tried to pass Lorenzo on Sunday, or was on the limit just to stay with him.

Others are debating whether the last place start made any difference to the title outcome, with Rossi only setting the fifth fastest lap of the race.

“Today I wasn't particularly fast but it's true also that with the new tyre at the beginning of the race I was in traffic and cannot give my maximum. For sure if I can start in a normal grid position I can try to do something, try to fight with Jorge.”

It's really going to very cathartic watching him slowly lose everything and wind up in jail

The NSW government is calling for Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer to be suspended or disqualified from council for allegedly failing to disclose his pecuniary interest in a commercial building when he voted on changes adding $1 million to its value.
In June last year the NSW Office of Local Government (OLG) launched an investigation into whether the 29-year-old developer had breached pecuniary interest laws by failing to declare the interest.
It is now up to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal to decide if there has been a breach and, if so, whether a penalty should be applied.

Daniel Fleetwood, a "Star Wars" fan whose dying wish was to see the upcoming movie, died this week.

"He is now one with God and with the Force," his wife, Ashley Fleetwood, wrote on her Facebook page Tuesday. He died in his sleep and in peace, she posted.

Fleetwood, a 32-year-old "Star Wars" aficionado who had terminal cancer, got the chance to see an unedited version of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on Thursday, a Disney representative confirmed.

All involved were happy to make it happen, the rep said.

The screening was the result of an online campaign, #ForceForDaniel, that received support from "Star Wars" actors Mark Hamill, Peter Mayhew and John Boyega.

Fleetwood had spindle cell sarcoma, a rare form of connective tissue cancer, and was told in July that he had two months to live, according to CNN affiliate KPRC.

A "Star Wars" fan from childhood, he wanted to see the new film before he died.

The movie will be released to the public December 18.

Hamill congratulated Fleetwood and his wife after she posted the news of the screening on her Facebook page.
