For Samas.

Yes, I agree that they only have one thing in common. And Marco does have talent. But Nicky has a MotoGP Championship (luck or not). At the end of the day and years down the road, he will always be a World Champion.

There was an interesting comment made during qualifying by the commentators that apparently Casey has a very simple electronics set up and has been know just to switch them off. Perhaps the others should grab the thing and ride it with this approach and use pure skill.

If that comment is true then it makes Stoner's riding even more amazing - even Rossi uses all the electrics he can get.

As much as I love Nicky - With all the talent on offer looking for MotoGP rides next season I think its time he moved onto the WSBK scene.

Correct, no one is doubting Stoner is an awesome rider, but remember - Rossi wants electronics banned!

I to would like to see Nicky riding in the Supers.

Can't put my finger on it but MGP is getting a little bit boring recently.

No one said any about Rossi in this article.
BTW, Yamaha ist still the best bike. . Ducati is with electronic hard to ride, without riding is nearly not possible. I thing Rossi with Ducati beetwen Kalio and Canepa.

Something doesn't add up there.
Rossi now has a brand new electronics package that he was quoted as saying its like cheating..so he wants them banned for whom then?Everybody else?
That sounds about right.Outragous advantages making a comeback?Surely not.

I believe NH is a great rider, but the Ducati has spooked him. A few years ago, when He was hungry I think He could have really given it a run for the money...a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more cautious now.

NH is finished in Motogp and rightly so. His performances on the Honda (which he had to develop after pedrosa threw himself at the scenary yet again a few years ago) were crap (his world champoinship year was a fluke and will not be repeated).

If he couldn't ride the Honda (which he couldnt!) then he has got no chance of riding the Ducati.end of.

The only same thing between this two is that they are both trying/tried to ride as hard as they can/could, but without some good result... and the problem is not a rider, it's only a bike. The only rider which was a little bit close to Stoner pace was a Copirossi..

sorry for bad eng :)
