Rossi, Lorenzo MotoGP showdown advice? 'May your god be with you!'

"I expect them to battle fairly, but toughly. I think if one of the riders wins with an unfair move it would be remembered for a long, long time."
Rossi, Lorenzo: 'May your god be with you!'

The 2015 MotoGP titꦦle looks to be heading for a final round showdown between Yamaha team-mates Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.

Rossi's advantage over Lorenzo was cut♌ to eleven points in a thrilling Australian Grand Prix, with🦩 only Malaysia and Valencia still to come.

Assuming it goes down to the wire, mahbx.com asked Yamaha Motor Racing managing dir🎃ector Lin Jarvis what words he will give Rossi and Lorenzo just before the final race on November 8.

Jarvis, who🎐 stands exactly in the middle of the Movistar Yamaha pits to ensure there isn't even a perception of favouritism, smiled: "May your god be with you!"

But would he warn Rossi𓃲 and Lorenzo not to take each other down?

"They know what they are doing. There is no point to, shall we sa♛y, repeat something obvious at that s👍tage and you can't control what happens in the race," Jarvis said.

"I would expect them to battle it out fairly, but toughly. And I think if one of the riders💜 wins with an unfair move that would be remembered by an awful lot of people for a long, long time.

"I think that's no𝓡t in either of their interests. That's my honest feeling. We shall se🌄e."

To avoid a final round showdown, Rossi needs to outscore Lorenzo by at least 15 points this Sunday at Sepang. That 𒈔means if Rossi wins the race, he would need Lorenzo to finish sixth or lower. If Lorenzo fails to sc𒐪ore, Rossi would need to finish third or higher.

Rossi is seeki🍒ng an eighth premier-class title and Lorenzo a third. Yamaha meanwhile are now guaranteed a perfect sweep of the 2015 MotoGP Riders', Teams' and Constructors' titles.
