Stoner show continues at Phillip Island.

Get well soon Hopper, the nightmare injury for a recently married man!!

Stoner showing em all the way to go! Looking ominous for everyone else again. Good on yer matey!

Good on you Ducati and Bridgestone !! Its amazing how fast a bike can go without a good rider on it.......not !!!! So if last year was a learning year for Casey what will this year bring......Lots of whinging I bet

Looking quite settled at such an early stage of testing. Stoner will need to do a lot of riding to get race fitness after the fall prior to Christmas.

Mike

Stoner, Ducati, Bridgestone = champion form

He may need more fitness but he doesn't seem to need more confidence or ability.

Everyone else must be wondering how to beat him

With a stick.

Well, I don't know, I didn't hear that Harry Potter's Thunderbolt broom
is for sale!! But just so you all know, there is no T.C on that broom
, and anyway all of you that think Casey is fast just because he
relay 100% on the electronics (some strange ref. to J.B.)
, go and get an I.Q test, you might have some serious logical shortcut
or a brain fuse that need to be changed.

This ones for the haters or the uninformed.....

Good post Ace - but the Stoner kickers have very selective eyesight and memory!!!

This comment will probably get deleted but i'm beyond caring now, How many people think Crash should start throwing off these Stoner haters from these pages? Everyones on his back for just doing his job, What the hell is he supposed to do? slow down? Let Rossi win? Refuse to race because he has a good bike and tyre combo? Anyone who's not Rossi gets nothing but abuse from the morons,You people are not race fans, Your idiots, Go buy a hoodie and put a bollard through a bus shelter window with the rest of the brain dead and leave motocycles to the real fans.

Impressive times indeed.
However Fiat Yamaha and Pedrosa are not present plus it is a test, not a race.
So you can boast, bragg and gloat all you can, go ahead.

Mike... relax.

Sorry, forgot to sign in...
Mike, what's up with you then?

No room to put more here but check SpeedTV.com article "Reading Between the Lines" for some number crunching. "With the FIAT Yamaha team of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo sitting this one out and Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa recovering from hand surgery back in Barcelona, Casey Stoner was easily the fastest man on the island, but the surprise, once the numbers were crunched, came from reigning World Superbike Champion James Toseland who ran nearly half of his laps in the 1´31 range." Toseland had second best pace in dry on day one. More than just a pretty face!

Yeah - he's also a great guitarist too!!!

Hey Mike. Why will your comment be deleted? Why is it compulsory to like Stoner? That paranoia runs deep, doesn't it.

Wouldn't matter didley squat if Krusty and Clonebot were at PI - Now Stoner is starting to get dialled in with the new bike he would still be way ahead of those turkeys!!!

Hey Tooheys. Impressive name calling. Have you started shaving yet? I do agree with you though. Pedrosa (that Small Spanish chap) would be close but still no cigar. Rossi (that tall Italian chap) would be first Yamaha but at least half a second back. It is still only testing but not much time left to improve for the non stoners.

Its not compulsory to like anyone.....but Mike is right he is proving to be worthy to be a World Champion, but still people out there dont want to face the facts and give him his dues where it is deserved.
