I don't think MM cares about Jorge, he just doesn't want Rossi to win the championship. He has been pissed since he wrecked on Rossi's rear tire in Argentina (IIRC) and his championship hopes were shot. If you look back at recent races, he gets in front of Rossi to slow him down. Once the rider behind gets in a tangle with Rossi he clears off. Look at the last race. MM had the pace to catch Jorge but he held back for a while slowing Rossi down and allowing the Ducati rider to get back in the fight, then chased down Jorge to win the race.
