“I laugh at the one who is wrong, completely wrong, and has no idea how he is viewed or that he is just ridiculous. »
This sentence, attributed to Cal Crutchlow by Bikesportnews.com, is only the prelude to a larger paragraph about complaints from Jorge Lorenzo against Valentino Rossi regarding the overtaking at Misano…
“I'm not afraid to say it. He's complaining about overtaking, like he's never passed anyone aggressively before? And Valentino never even overtook him aggressively.
He goes shopping. If someone overtakes you, you must raise the motorcycle. Or you stay angled and go for contact. It's your choice. It's like rushing into a roundabout, you know (only) the person who comes towards you when you rush off, because sometimes they choose to stop or crash into you.
Jorge is wrong and I think it happened to him because he wasn't very fast this weekend, not like usual. Not like his usual way.
I hope he manages to overcome this before he arrives in February/March next year, because otherwise he will face problems, and Ducati would have made a bad bet again. And I will be even happier with myself. »
However, we take these somewhat acerbic comments with a grain of salt…
