MOTOGP » 'Proud' Stoner celebrates home run

I agree with you about Stoner (as I think most people here would if they are honest). Melandri at least show Stoner how not to ride the Ducati.

To drag this back to bikes and an enjoyable weekend of MotoGP, it was really interesting watching the splits on live timing, only Stoner and Rossi ran conssistently in the 1.30.1 zone, Nikki was there for the first few laps, but after halfway was half a second down on them, hence his drop to third. Rossi had a poor grid position, and then when he was held up by Toseland and later Hayden, so Stoner opened the gap on him. All things being equal, and if the two of them had been together from the start we would have had another classic, so for my part, it was a great race, there is more to it than just the win, there was ethos and pathos out there yesterday, a very enjoyable weekend of MotoGP

So here's a thought for the day - wouldn't it be nice if Troy Bayliss came and took over from Melandri for the last two races....

Papi - just for the record, all the pom medals at the Olympics were won sitting down... (cycling, rowing, horseriding...) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

sooo funny- hahaha soooooooo unfunny

so unfunny. LOL. You forgot sailing

I guess this means you are losing your grip on being "laid back" champions also.

Hang on! Those Ducatis look pretty comfortable, nice plush seat. Doh! you beat us again!

aahh.. you guyz. Pls... the more u peops post comments, the more your comments go to nowhere
why dont the administrator just close this comment off

Papi - yes well do our bit for Queen and country...after all she is our head of state And aren't we already part of the empire?

Bronx chill mate...its all light-hearted banter.

Back to racing...I think the current state of play is Rossi is currently the best "racer" on the planet. Stoner is consistently the fastest "rider" and the rest are trying to catch these 2 guys who seem to be out in front pretty well every track. Its great for the sport that finally Vale has some REAL competition. I expect Stoner to learn a lot from this year given his age and inexperience...after all you can learn a great deal from an 8X WC. Hayden is next years dark horse. Can he adapt to the red beast?

@ Truth hurts

I do agree with you with on many point, think you have overlooked someone...

Lorenzo card gonna be very heavy next year, his M1 gonna be on Stones too

"So here's a thought for the day - wouldn't it be nice if Troy Bayliss came and took over from Melandri for the last two races...."

What would be funny is if TB came back and kicked Stoners A$$. But seriously I think a lot of people would like to see that scenario...me included
