MOTOGP » 'Proud' Stoner celebrates home run

Is James Toseland too old for racing now that he turned 29 which is about same age as Rossi. I know lots of people have said that Rossi is too old to win anymore, so I just want to know if JT is in the same category. Why does people think Casey is a legend, especially from the land down yonder. \/

Stoner was never thought of as the fastest rider when he was on the Honda,or in the 250cc or in 125cc.Only until he landed on the Ducati have people started talking of him as the quickest,doest make sence unless its the Duke???
.

Simon, Casey was the fastest guy on an 250cc Aprilia by far in 05, and won the 125 title if you recall. And to recap history again, when Michelin ran MotoGP you were never going to win a race unless they gave you their best tyres, was the same in WSB which is why they went to control tyres also.

To anyone who thinks Yamaha isn't the best bike, there were 4 Yamahas (3 of them Michelin) in the top 10 at Phillip Island, only 1 Ducati, again. Rossi made a mistake pushing too hard to stay with Casey in qualifying, only has himself to blame for his grid position. Nobody was going to beat Casey at the Island, he showed in warm up he was capable of 129's if pushed.

To those poor misguided souls that think moto gp is better than WSB just replay Moto Gp from phillip Island and then race 2 from France in WSB. IF you can''t see the difference then I pity you. Next year is going to be even better. Moto gp will still have 17 bikes on the grid with three bikes capable of winning. In WSB they race not follow.

Damo.............. Exactly what year did Stoner win 125cc??????? He didnt....
2006....Bautista
2005...Luthi
2004... Dovizioso
2003.. Pedrosa
2002.. Vincent and in 2001 it was Poggy, shall i go on????? dont think i need to,I bet you were the man who said that Stoner used to win 70 odd championships a year when he was 4years of age.I bet Damo,you think Stoner has won as many top class titles as Agostini,hahahaha.

No 125GP title though he was impressive on the brand new KTM in 04. Point is he was fast in every category he raced in growing up. Pedrosa could probably become the most successful 250 racer in history with his miniatureness but who cares. Look at Biaggi, won 4 250 titles never could win MotoGP.

Brian, GP is the best of the best. Winning it means more to riders and Manufacturuers than WSB ever will. WSB is fantastic though. Do you mind if I just watch both?

I am bored with this forum... "Oh Stoner is whinger... his wrist... oh my..." "Rossi is the best... I love his hair..."

At times it's like a self-touching-fest!

Oh, Lord of the Flies is a cautionary critique on the human condition when placed beyond the spatial bounds of 'civility'. Much like this forum really, which for some offers the annonymity of cyper-space rather than the isolation of a remote island.

To those who post comments on racing and racers objectively thank you. To those you lambast or praise solely on the merits of perceived personality may I ask if you've graduated from primary school yet?

Everyone who qualifies on a MotoGP grid is deserving of respect.

Bob,

Firstly its nice to have you back mate. I would never stick my brit head above the fence on the subject of WC's in motorbike racing recently as its been (apart from wsb which doesn't really count) a bit sad really what with the blessed Sheene being our last champion, but you cant slag off our racing heritage mate after all it was us who gave the world nortons and truimphs Bsa'a and brough superiors....atmittedly then we got blase about the whole deal and lent a norton to Honda and they have been caning our ****s ever since but we were there at the start....and maybe the germans,french,czech's....but not as much as us goddammit!

Regards.

Cheers layton, good to see that a true fan of the sport knows I'm only taking the pi55 90% of the time. I just enjoy supporting the underdogs.
