In reality yes. Don’t think Karel or syara ,etc. were riding for the win. They were riding for points. Look at Dovi-he Just rode smart and collected points and now he’s leading the championship! VR needs every point at this stage. He can no longer win and Thats the sad reality. He cannot beat Marc Marquez anymore, unless if he crashes; The boy has evolved. The more consistent points he earns , the more chance he’s got for his 10th win. 20pts is better than 0pts. If he really gave it a go and sacrificed 25pts for 5pts, then why didn’t he pounce right back, but rather gave Rins 4 laps to get away! (IIRC) Bet he learned from his past mistake when he tried to Beat Viñales for the win, but ended up eating the dirt, instead of bagging 20pts.

MM93 might be unbeatable in the long run, but sure as shit Rossi has shown the world that he is STILL among the few that have a chance. If that's a "sad reality" I wish we could all be that sad.

Oh VR is still up there for sure and a 10th win would be awesome. I wish he hadn’t wasted his time at Ducati. But he said it wasn’t a mistake. The mistake was in 2006. He also said that he is sad because of his age for the sport. I am a little sad as well because he will not be there when he retires. He will be will be with his ‘banging’ girlfriend making babies. Win-Win for him.
