MOTOGP » Stoner stunned by camera fault

Are you serious? look at Jerez 07, look at the 08 practice times and quali times for all the Ducatis..... please wake up and smell the coffee just relaying the facts does not make one a Stoner groupie, Alas refusal to face these obvious facts does make one a clown groupie from my experience of that I have no doubt

Maybe if people were stopping to consider Rossi like the older brother they always dreamt of having, we could get some interesting conversations, no ? But most posts are just inconsistent gibbrish about how much the Doctor owns everyone on the planet...

Same about stoner: you may hate the guy, but still he won the 2007 WC hands up and his performances on the GP7 must earn him respect. None of us can come even closer to how these riders do their job, so respect to even the 18th guy on the grid.

I feel sorry for them actually...... "NOT" that the (groupies) hate the guy simply because he beat their idol.....hard to fathom yes? but thats it!!! Its not rocket science to figure out.

P.S. Thats also why they are oh so easy to wind up

Furthermore, if one takes blind passion away and decides to really think it over, it's a fascinating season that opens up. One where we'll probably see these 4 guys battling each other like mad.
And all the other stories are equally mesmerizing.
Will Hopkins score ?
Will De Puniet finish a race ?
Will Capirex regret his move to Suzuki ?
Will Dovi stop being the underdog ?
Will The Tornado make it to the podium ?
Will the three ducatis stop embarassing their great riders ?
Will TC stays or will it go ?
Will Indie be the most boring motoGP ever ?

so many questions, and only 18 people know the answers (if there are some...)

don't Marty they don't feel sorry for you. You are singularly responsible for most of the bad comments on this site either directly or indirectly, your sudden maniacal support of Lorenzo is just another example. It's a shame because when you've been quiet the last couple of days(wonder why?) There has been some genuinely inciteful(spelling?) comment from people who look to me that they avoid coming on when your around... The site is a better and more interesting place without you..

This is getting boring but - speed - first time Stoner ran off at Jerez, he was pushing the bike too hard. The front had been rotten all through set-up, he got over the edge. Not a sin - heck, Rossi lost the WC in 2006 doing just that - trying to the last damn ounce and getting it one gramme wrong, it happens to the best guys - when they're trying. Second time was a whoopsie involving Nakano and nobody has claimed either guy was in the wrong. Whoopsies happen too - Pedrosa on Hayden 2006, Gibernau on Doohan 1998, Melandri & Capirossi, Maxibags on everybody in MotoGP and some of the pit bikies too, probably - and on and on. ONLY Hailwood was immune to the laws of physics, on the track.

Oscar what was the reason why he had to push so hard...the bike was not working and the others have caught up with him...he cannot clear off in the distance like he did earlier

last year the Yam and the Honda were both nails this year they aren't so naturally he is feeling the pressure because he has to really fight it out.

marty you need to smell the coffee..like i said it is not a Ducati cup and he is not racing against the other Ducatis...

repeating over and over again that CS rode the Duke the fastest does make you a groupie..

less said about your experience the better....

Speed - yes, you're in part right - now he has to push it past the limit to try to get anywhere, and sometimes that causes him to make mistakes. No different to Vale in 2006 when the Yammie was such a dog. But if the Ducs were so much better than everythibng else last year, why didn't Capirex come at least second in the WC? - he's good enough to use a good bike very well, he can win races. So can Melandri, but he's nowhere this year, the Duc has his **** whupped. If you put Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa and Lorenzo all on identical spec bikes, nobody with any brain would take a bet on who'd win the most of say two races - one wet, one dry - on each of 5 different circuits.

yes it is a surprise as to why Capi did not come 2nd but since the time Capi has been around he has not won much..he got the duc ride (i guess) coz there was no one else Duc could sign...regarding Melandri he did not have good results on the Honda or the Yam okay I accept he did not ride for a fty team as far as Honda was concerned and for the Yam he was riding it when it was just been developed so we can give him the benefit of doubt but from the way he has been riding lately it looks like he has lost his direction...

stoner did an excellent job last year but to really know if it was bike or rider we would need to put dani jorge or rossi on the same bke n see the results

It is nice to see you guys talking Stoner up again. In all fairness notice that Rossi is the only guy finishing up front on the bad bridgestone tracks. What do you think he is going to do once he gets on the good bridgestone tracks? He has a good bike and tires. Don't count him out yet. And about the camera thing...I remember watching Toseland racing a Honda last year with water dripping all over the place.
