MOTOGP » Stoner stunned by camera fault

Stoner will bounce back in China and silence all the armchair critics who have written him off so prematurely. Jorge and the Hobbit will push him hard though. Rossi is still a major talent but I don''t think he has enough left to beat these kids but is still capable of top 4 finishes at every race, so maybe consistancy will work for him like it did for Hayden in 2006! Poor Marco, I''m gutted to see a top rider of his ability struggling to finish 13th, hope he sorts it out with Ducati or moves to another team before it''s too late, as there''s a few more fast kids in 250s who will be kicking in the door for next seasons rides.

Come on man ... it s not the camera s fault ffs.

Damn! And Melandri last year with a flapping leaking water bottle pipe in his helmet had a totally different response, in one of the races where he got a podium...wow!

boooooooo boooooooooooo what a loser !!!

cant he accept the fact that he wasnot the fastest bridestone rider. was the camera the reason why he was so slow in all free practices and qualifying also ????

ok camera might have been a problem but.. thats not the reason for slow lap time.haha wonder what he will blame next when rossi whips his ass in china.... may be he might say its the chinese noodles that he got stuck in his ass

Okay, Stoner has the right to complain, something like that could have caused more serious safety problems or if it had whipped off its cabling it could have hurt another rider, but I wonder what he would have said if his bike did something like Elias's on Friday.

I truly believe he will strike back with at least 5 more victories...

1. China
2. BRNO
3. Sepang
4. P.I
5. Laguna seca

and maybe a few more ..

Desspite the problems a good race by CS...

Why not rip it off and chuck it!! it was only on a couple of scabby wires

Hogshead I totally agree with your comment, especially about Rossi. It's impossible to keep the level of motivation as high as those mad youngsters, especially after a so long and successful career like his. The man is a walking legend. I believe his move to Bridgestone was a panic move, and one which may well cost him a lot of competitiveness. I also believe the 800s make it difficult for him to play his fav tactics. Never before were we seeing Rossi trying to lead a race when he actually couldn't brake away.

Stoner is going to have it more difficult this year. And of course he will kick some **s in the following races, two bad races are nothing for so long of a season...

Ducati says they are considering using Troy Bayliss or Max Biaggi as test riders this season.

Gina, you are so obsessed with Stoner, it makes me wonder- after all, there's only a small margin between love and hate!
