I think this championship have the potential to become one of the best of the last years because the battle with Jorge can arrive at the last point of the last race but the last three races, something change and something happen that nobody expect that Marc Marquez decide to protect Lorenzo for help him for win the championship, "said Rossi, speaking at the track."The problem start at Phillip Island and all the rest become unfortunately worse and worse. We arrive to Malaysia where unfortunately we touch and Marquez crash. I find out on Thursday I have to start last and I know already that my championship was finished because I know Marquez will finish his work and try to protect Lorenzo also in the last race. I said this on Thursday and it happen exactly what I expect. Today the race was embarrassing, the last lap was quite bad for the sport because happen something never happen before. I was ready to lose the championship to Jorge who is always very fast on the track but in this way is not fair."- See more at: http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/motogp-valencia-rossi-launches-another-stinging-attack-on-marquez#sthash.PCWdoS5x.dpuf
