MOTOGP » Stoner smashes Donington Park

Interetsing that Stoners rocket powered Ducati was only 5th fastest today through the speed traps: Pedrosa,Edwards, Lorenzo, Rossi all faster in a straight line. That would be the slow Honda, and 3 slow yamahas in front of the much faster ducati. No more top speed advantage to moan about troglodites. Hasn't been all season if you'd care to look at the figures.

I'm not saying Stoner only wins because of traction control and other ecu gadgetry. What I am saying is that the whole electronics package reduces the race to a techno battle. If Stoner can't ride a bike I'm not saying Stoner only wins because of traction control and other ecu gadgetry. What iam saying is that the whole electronics package reduces the race to a techno battle. If Stoner can't ride a bike well then I would be surprised as that is all he has ever done in his life, same with Rossi et al, but the whole process of racing is skill. I see no difference between MOTOGP with its technology and athletes and cyclists on performance enhancing drugs. IT'S ALL CHEATING! e well then I would be surprised as that is all he has ever done in his life, same with Rossi et al, but the whole process of racing is skill. I see no difference between MOTOGP with its technology and athletes and cyclists on performance enhancing drugs. IT'S ALL CHEATING!

Yep, the top speed advantage has gone. that's cos the traction control has been targetting the corners so twist and go doesn't cause any headachs

get real people i am not a particular fan of anyone but come on watching that race today was awful a real dirge of a race and after all its supposed to be entertainment which some people have lost sight of while i realise everyone has traction control it does suit the ducati and in particular stoner who was pretty much a middle of the pack rider in every class he raced in with a tendency to crash at critical moments now im not saying he isnt a quality rider now i just think that this certain bike suits his lack of hand brain rear tyre link because it some ways(not all) it does it for him.
Stoner fans need to be a bit less touchy and get real about why he is were he is ..TC
fact.

nice to see the old moaner crack a smile for once

perhaps you would like to tell every rider on the grid at Moto GP & WSK that
they are nothing more than a bunch of cheats,

we would have a collection for your funeral, but I don't think we would get much
being as it would be termed as self inflicted, by gross stupidity.

grow up man.... if it was cheatin don't you think the organisers would have had ducati in the box by now to explain/booted them out of the championship....

The fastest speed at Donnington, Casey Stoner, 275kmh - warmup

Of course he didnt have the fastest speed during the race. Who did he have to draft?

Why bother looking at the figures, it has consistently been Ducati at the top all season. Not by as much as the season before, but to deny it appears somewhat bizzare.

"stoner who was pretty much a middle of the pack rider in every class he raced in"

The pillock that made this comment amongst other noteable gaffs shows he's as knowledgable about motorcycle racing as a dead ant. Actually, on second thoughts, the dead ant knows a whole lot more.

So is this a powerhouse track too? is this a top speed circuit,too. get a life people! your team mate and satellite riders are at back of the pack and you win the race by 5 seconds. if Rossi was doing this you would tell he's god. But When Stoner does it it's the bike and electronics,what a non-sense.
