MOTOGP » Stoner's night dream, Rossi's nightmare

Ray Sole: Rather than champagne, they could have used the stuff F1 does in Bahrain, non-alcoholoic warrd. Can't understand why they didn't...?

Stoner comments: People who say Stoner's success is all down to Ducati/electronics are incapable of rational thought. If 3 other Ducatis are struggling at the back, ridden by guys who haven't done badly on other bikes, this is evidence of the opposite. I.e. Casey is making the bike look good, rather than the other way round. Is this not obvious? And the same happened last season with different riders on that bike. So how much evidence do you need? If it were the bike, all the Ducatis would be at the front. The EVIDENCE says it's Stoner!

I cannot believe how many people are writing Rossi off!!
With his experience, skills plus his teams experience I reckon Stoner would be judging him to be his main threat.
As to Aussie's being Rossie haters, what a load of codswappel, Aussies love good sportsmen whether they win or not so long as they play fair.

Burgs: You really haven't understood the ethos of this forum yet. The fun here comes in a different way...

Do any of you enjoy motogp or just the bitching after each race!!!Yes stoner has done a fantastic job,but come on guys he hasnt reached Rossi,s standard yet and the if the rookies carry on this well he may not be no 1 again this year.Just enjoy the racing for what it is and may the best man win.Yes i am a huge Rossi fan but am not as biased or blinkered as to not give others credit where its due.

yes Aussies love there sport and appreciate anyone that competes at the top level.Myself I am a Lorenzo fan and to a lesser extent Pedrosa so the podium last week-end was perfect.Some great skill shown through out the race and am looking forward to some fantastic battles through the year.Also glad to see Toseland come to MotoGP..Go Casey in 08.

Confirmation, except Rossi that is?

what kind od nightmare you see in Rossi???????????????????????
it's just beginning of the season...if that situation will be after...hm....Brno, then it will be something like nightmare.

What I beleive to be true is this.

The Ducati Stoner combination is a very good combination, we have to give Stoner credit where it's due as he has to ride the bike, we know 2 other riders have failed to get to grips with the beast that is the Ducati.

What some people maybe dont realise is that at the moment Stoner has it fairly easy & very little preassure, he knows exactly what he has in the locker & exactly when to unleash it, that's fair enough.

I wonder what he's going to do when yamaha & Honda finaly get their act together & are capable of matching the ducati's performance, it will come & sooner than many think.

Marty Clowan,
can't understand why you call us Rossi fans groupies, I see you still can't post on here without having ago at Rossi or his fans.

Pretty sad really but i guess it's just your way, & our so called excuses as to why Rossi is not winning are fact's.

I don't think it will be long before were celebrating rossi's first win this year which will shut you up.

Actually Iam a Rossi fan in as Iam a fan of "ALL" who ride Moto GP, the difference being just not obsessivly so to be blinded by earth bound facts! They are a funny lot these groupies as they will try to twist reality into fantasy. Reality is not of any concern for a "groupie" so easy to spot however-

Rossi Groupies= Blind to reality, sheep like followers, ostrich like- with heads stuck in the sand, will defend their 'god' at all costs and blame everything OR anyone who critisizes the almighty clown! Not to mention seeing this guy as the saviour of the sport!!!

Rossi Fans= Are enthusiasts are "NOT" blind. Also appreciate talant and give credit were due.. simple really
