In the GP category, even at that time, it was impossible to start from the last place and fight for the championship.

If he were a nine-time champion at his peak, he might still have this chance, but Rossi was already 36 years old at this time.

To describe it in the words of all the media at the time, at the age of 36, when other drivers retired, the nine-time champion still had to fight for the world championship.

It is worth mentioning that the farce at Xuebang Station did not end after mm93 crashed.

Snow helped Rossi finish the race in third place, Lorenzo finished in second place, and Pedrosa was first. Even if mm93 crashed in the end, the huge interference suffered by Rossi in the early stage had already made him unable to pursue. The robot runs away.

The last episode happened when I was on the podium.

When Lorenzo came on stage in second place, there was a huge boo from the audience. Even if it was covered by the voice of the on-site commentator, this boo could still reach the ears of all the fans on the broadcast station through the microphone.

You can imagine how loud the sound was.

Under the huge boos, the robot made another move that completely ignited public opinion.

That was when Rossi was presenting the award, the robot made a thumbs down gesture. The meaning of the internationally accepted gesture is self-evident.

Then he took his trophy and walked off the stage without waiting for the award ceremony to be over.

This incident also caused a lot of heated discussion at the time. There are two theories. One is that the robot was booed by the fans, and the other is that the robot felt that 46's behavior was very unsportsmanlike.

But no matter which one, all public opinions at the time were unfavorable to robots.

As it is said now, what the two riders mm93 and vr46 did back then was neither right nor wrong.

One person repeatedly fights unfairly and tries to affect the fairness of the game, and the other person is provoked and commits illegal acts. No one is wrong.

But the robot's behavior meant it only saw one person's fault.

This move made the two fans who wanted to fight almost go berserk. Although Lorenzo apologized after the game, he was still unable to stop it.

John felt that if he remembered correctly, the robot was scolded a lot at that time, and even a lot of emoticons were made.

However, since that time, the rules of motogp have become more and more stringent, forcing all riders to restrain themselves, and few people can make extraordinary moves.

Hopefully Martin will be able to grasp the situation this time.

As for the reason why mm93 did what it did that year, outside rumors and fans speculated that the relationship between mm93 and 46 had broken down. The break began in the third station of that year, when mm93 overtook at a corner. At that time, it hit the inside body of 46 from the inside, and then the rear wheel of 46 quickly turned over when exiting the corner, preventing the mm93 from falling over.

This caused the mm93 to crash, which was the point of conflict rumored by the outside world.

But John didn't believe it then, and it's even less likely to believe it now.

Because this alone would never have allowed the mm93 at the time to do such a thing, and the outside world didn't know what it meant at the time.

At that time, Rossi was the person with the highest commercial value in the entire motogp, with nine crowns, while mm93 only had two crowns at the time.

There is a huge gap in influence between the two, not to mention that they were friends before.

In this case, even if there is friction on the track, mm93 will never be allowed to do such a thing that is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

That's right, harming others is not beneficial to oneself.

At that time, doing something like this to the nine-time champion was almost equivalent to offending 70% of motogp fans.

Not to mention the business connections behind it. Even mm93, who has won eight crowns so far, has less business connections than the nine-time crown champion, let alone at that time.

The price is too high!

If it was to compete for the championship for himself, it would be fine, but to make a wedding dress for others, John did not believe that these top drivers would be so stupid.

So the most fundamental reason is probably because of what happened in Dongya back then.

That incident forced mm93 to do this.

Combined with the robot's sentence "The championship belongs to the Dongya people", it is very meaningful.

In the last race of that year, several riders from small and profitable countries supported Rossi and directly stated that they would help 46 against the Dongya camp in the last race.

But even so, Rossi, who started last, was still struggling.

Overtaking and giving way to drivers from his own country, Rossi eventually caught up from last place to fourth, but the three people in front of him were his biggest opponents.

Lorenzo was first, Pedrosa was second, and mm93 was third.

All three are from Dongya!

Pedrosa was not involved in the whole process and even wanted to attack Lorenzo in the last race to win a race championship for Benda and himself.

It was at this time that the mm93 on the field moved.

As a driver who usually competes for first place and never plays second fiddle, this mm93 performed extremely calmly in this race, cruising in the third position for a long time. The only few times he made a move were when Pedrosa wanted to When attacking Lorenzo, the Benda driver prevented the Benda driver from winning the race. This was the first time in history.

In the end, the 36-year-old Rossi lost the championship and his tenth championship.

Of course, Lorenzo and mm93 also paid a heavy price.

Rossi's fans in Xiaoli Country and all over Blue Star were very angry. Xiaoli Country's sponsors were the first to take action and directly stopped the sponsorship of the robot at that time. Almost the entire network was mobilized.

It is worth mentioning that Dongya’s sponsors also took action and stopped sponsoring Yamaha’s championship celebration banquet.

Although the robot won the world championship that year, it was in an extremely embarrassed state, and there was not even a celebration party.

The number of black fans of mm93 increased dramatically overnight. It has continued for many years and even to this day, it is still silent in the abuse of black fans. This is why John always feels that the price is too high.

He was so big that even if he really got the upper hand, he wouldn't do it so brilliantly, almost forcing the Nine-Crown Champion to death.

As Yamaha, which suffered the most at that time, two of its own riders had a falling out, which also led to their sponsorship being withdrawn, and the top management also remembered mm93.

Many years later, when Ma Wang's brother entered the GP group, Yamaha did not reach a cooperation with his brother on the grounds that it would not recruit the Ma family brothers.

Although Yamaha has been unsatisfactory in the past two years, it is an established racing team after all. It has the second-largest number of championships in the paddock. If it offends them, the future will not be easy.

And this is just on the surface, there are many potential consequences.

For example, next year, the eight-time champion will transfer to Ducati Satellite, definitely for the ninth championship, but don’t forget that Rossi’s academy still has four riders on the field, and the senior brother will also transfer from Yamaha next year. To Ducati.

Three apprentices, plus his younger brother, four people.

Under normal circumstances, they will definitely not do anything, but if mm93 wants to compete for the ninth world championship, they may not be able to tell accurately!
