Rossi is just incredible. And he's gone head to head with Marquez twice and come out on top. Many thought that Rossi might be past his prime. WOW, he's as good as ever. He's faced so much competition but he's still standing.

Brad Baker won the 1/2 mile Flat Track race in Lima. :bow:

Looks like Marquez is complaining.

MotoGP: Marquez and Rossi at odds over clash
Saturday, 27 June 2015
Marc Marquez is adamant he deserved victory in the Assen MotoGP race and that Valentino Rossi's actions in their final-lap collision were unfair.
The pair made light contact going into the chicane at the end of the Dutch TT, with Marquez trying to pass Rossi for the lead down the inside under braking for the final complex. After the touch, Rossi went wide across the gravel and rejoined still ahead, beating Marquez to victory by 1.2 seconds.
Marquez believes he was fully alongside Rossi and correctly placed to take the lead, and that his rival therefore turned on him and only claimed the victory because he cut across the corner.
"I feel that we won the race," said Honda rider Marquez. "I don't think anybody wanted the contact, but I think what I did was the perfect last chicane.
"When we had the contact we were already in the same position [side by side]. I was not back [from him]. I think he already saw me. What I know is I did the correct way because I didn't go outside the track."
Rossi said he wanted to watch the footage again together with Marquez because his recollection differed.
"Maybe it's better that we see the images another time as everybody has his own idea," said the Yamaha rider. "My idea is that I was completely in front.
"I braked hard, I stayed in the centre and I was already into the first part [of the chicane] when he came onto me. I just saw the tire and he touched me on the elbow.
"I wanted to make the chicane and I was on the line. Unfortunately his touch put me on the outside and I didn't have a chance to stay on the line.
"When I went into the gravel my first reaction was to open the throttle because I didn't know if it was deep. I was lucky to control the bike. This is my version. We know his version."
Asked what he would have done had he been in Rossi's position, Marquez replied: "You never know. But after this experience, I know what to do."
Rossi added that he had backed out of trying to discuss the incident with Marquez immediately after the race.
"I went to Marc but I saw he was a little bit angry about the last chicane so I preferred to not speak a lot," said Rossi. "After the race, everything is very hot. For sure we will speak more quietly."
Marquez responded to Rossi's comments with: "For me it doesn't matter because he knows what happened and I know what happened. This race is already gone."
When asked if he felt race direction would have penalized any rider other than Rossi for cutting the corner, Marquez replied: "We will see in the future. When somebody does it, we can say, 'Valentino did it and nothing happened.'"

Looks like Marquez is complaining.
etcetera.
In the video Rossi appeared to hold the line while Marc tired to muscle his way past. Seems to be two for two in trying to push the big dog offline.
I like Marcus. I think he is good for the sport. I like Rossi more.

totally agree 10000%
Marquez is the last guy that should be complaining about rough racing.

Marquez is turning into a crybaby now. He has punted many racers to win and isn't used to losing doing it. This time he loses and can't stand it. This year he no longer is the darling of MotoGP and his ego is taking a hit. Finally he is finding out he is not invincible and he doesn't like it 1 bit. I didn't used to be a Rossi fan, but now I am. The guy is just AWESOME even at his elder age. :cool:
