Rossi plays mind games with Lorenzo in MotoGP
Mind games are something that Valentino Rossi is pretty good at. He has done so in the past with so many riders. He gets under their skin and wins. But it doesn’t always work. There was a bit of an altercation between them after the previous round. And the mind games have started. I’m not even going into what was said and why. Mind games are not my thing.
Its head to the race. This race in Aragon is on Spanish ground and it gives the Spanish riders a bit of a home advantage. The race eventually got won by Marc Marquez who dominated the weekend. The second and third place wasn’t decided yet. There is Rossi ahead of Lorenzo and then the other way ’round. They are changing places a lot. Towards the end Rossi is on the attack again and tries to do a move. But he overshoots the target and runs wide. Momentarily he is in second and Lorenzo swoops straight past. Have Rossis mind games failed? For sure!
So what do we make of this? I suppose nothing. Rossi keeps playing his mind games and from time to time it simply doesn’t work. There are a few more rounds to come to the end of the season and I’m sure Rossi will have another shot at Lorenzo or Marquez. He’s good at that.
Now I like to elaborate a little bit about this cartoon. I chose this shark and little fish theme because it is something that Lorenzo and Rossi keep doing. Rossi refers to himself as a little fish and Lorenzo likes to be the hunter. He demonstrated that by a new helmet design for the Aragon round. Maybe he is playing mind games with Rossi? I sketch the cartoon on paper and import it into an iPad for processing. I use the Procreation app to draw. It has a neat little feature that lets you record a video of the process. If everything works fine you can see a video here.
