MOTOGP » Rossi chasing podium landmark

Rossi, you deserve this years championship the most. Your hard fought battle from last year clearly shows that you never give up! Go #46!

The record that Rossi and Stoner jointly hold of most points in a season is an interesting one. 367 is a massive achievement, but just bear in mind that in 2005, Rossi achieved that total with only 17 races, not the 18 which Stoner had last season. Small deatail,but...

Fromage 'Ole Chap' with age you must be having a moment of brain lag. Stoner record in 2007 was for 18 races for that season. Rossi in 2004 won the WC on new bike (Yamaha)with 16 races and followed up with an unbreakable record 2005 season. Let the record speak for itself.

2005.MotoGP Yamaha..17..11..16...367.1st..1

What's even more astonishing is that 2005 season at Motegi, he crashed and thus got no points.
Fromage 'Ole Chap' I know Stoner's record in 2007, it's just that it is not remarkable and worth remembering since someone else did better before with less races and they might do better than it this year. Seem like you always want to pick a fight with me when I gloat for VR.

@fromage

Having read your posts you clearly come across as a man who cannot accept the fact that Stoner cannot yet be compared with Rossi. You offer praise to Rossi and then proceed to put the 'but' line in and site Stoners one title (achieved with a massive advantage). Stoner has been undone by Rossi and will now face further dismantling from Lorenzo, Dovi etc aswell as Rossi. Stoner will not win another WC the man/boy is too fragile. He will unravel like a cheap watch. Bring on the Stoner fan boys for some groundless arguments, and berating of my comments. Signed a seasoned 500/motogp watcher.

what fromage also always conviniently forgets when praising Stoner (and Stoner is good)that he was on a bike light years ahead of any other bike, with superior rubber on it (BS)
Throw that into the equation and it paints a little different picture. Casy 07 was stunning, but so was his bike. Rossi had to fight with absolute underpowered bike, and crapy Michelins..08 is a better reflection of rider skills..
