Gina, You are unbelievable.
Pedrosa has never ridden another bike other than the FACTORY HONDA and he hasn't won. Can he not ride any other bike? Rossi is the only one to have swapped and won. But guess what the last 2 years he has not won so even the great Rossi needs the best bike on the grid to win. What is your fantiasy arguement. Grow up and face the facts that Stoner is the fastest rider in MotoGP at the moment. He knows how to win and has the fire in the belly that gives him the drive to win.

MOTOGP » Stoner: We kept getting faster and faster...

The 2007 season may have only finished on Sunday, but MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner shows no signs of throttling off - the Australian having dominated the first post-season test session, at Valencia.

I see, so he tested a new front fork and altered engine management system,
the first go with the 2008 prototype will be at Jerez, they will skip the Sepang test.

I don't like this guy much. But he keep winning. So, he win then... :p

Noticing that he does something better and faster. Then he come up with a statement that sound very convincing to demoralize others. When nothing is new, he'll blaming anything around the scene to keep himself motivated.

Hmm... I thing it's not so bad as long as he doesn't bad mouthing other riders.

Looks like the only way some of the guys are going to get near him at the finish is if he lets them ride pillion. Up to them to get their fingers out and not him to take it easy. :rolleyes:

Just keep improving incrementally and they have to catch up!

The thing is he has the motivation and drive not just to rest on his laurels, but to continue to push to improve and set more stretching targets.
Yes, he is learning to play the mind-games to demoralize others, but that is all part of the game. Rossi used such an approach to good effect against Biaggi & Gibernau.
If he keeps in this frame of mind, whilst it will be tougher next year, I can't see anyone else taking the championship.

Simply: Stoner is Hell FAST as he has shown 125's & 250's! He didn't come from rain forest! And he is doing what he can do best. Rossi's advantages and good luck is in past and now normal and we can see the results. VR games are over it's time to concentrate to work. ;)

One thing you forgot - VR didn't have traction control for 5 championships.

I don't think traction control matters too much to him.
In theory it makes the bike easier to ride,
-look at Capirossi last year.
-And look at how Melandri is adapting (compared with de Puniet, Hopkins, )
-Look at Caseys past in Australia, he dominated there, which is why they moved to England while he was so young.

Think you really know that? And is it making him better? He was on right place on right time! TC is now here and Bstones and desmodromic and ... so?! This is Motor Racing! Love it or hate it!
