No, Rossi didn't win the title because he got caught up in a personal battle with Marquez in the previous race. Honda saying he "kicked him off" is pathetic. He also got caught up in some weird battle with Lorenzo a few races back where they were playing a weird "who can stay out the longest on intermediates on a drying track" game that cost him as he finished 5th. He had to start from the back for his Marquez incident and Lorenzo had it easy. Lorenzo did a great qualifying and had the pace in free practice, but the Hondas had the pace at the end of the race and Marquez in my opinion didn't try and ended up getting in the way of his own team mate who hates Lorenzo and did try for the win. I'm not hating on Lorenzo, he did deserve the title in the end I'm just disappointed that Rossi had such a great season and couldn't have been allowed a straight up dog fight to decide the winner.
I think your point of view is level headed Phil and probably correct, but I am just saying it how I saw it personally yesterday and I was really annoyed at Rossi in the last race for what he did. I have come round full circle and am now actually against Marquez. Re-watch that race after hearing Rossi's point of view.
