The comments saying Casey is a one hit wonder because he hasn't won in the lesser categories are simply foolish.
As are the TC comments - ignorant at best.

Casey was always right with Pedrosa - who always had the best bike in the field.
Stoner did exceptionally well considering he never had a competitive bike until 2007.
Remember he put the LCR on pole in his second race, and very nearly won his third race.

Rossi is arguably the greatest rider ever and Stoner - to this point - is the only rider that can take the fight to him.
Last year it was Rossi keeping up with an inferior bike and this year Casey is doing just that.
Anyone who states Rossi is past it or Stoner never had it is a tool.

i never said Rossi didn't deserve his titles. he who has the most points at the end of a season is deserving of the title - be it Rossi, KR Jnr, Casey or anyone. Rossi is an amazing rider and will always be paid his dues. i agree with all you just said Jack - however Doohan did race with several greats in his time and was always right up there with them. Remember he nearly had his leg amputated when leading the championship convincingly and came back to win 5 titles - he is as deserving as anyone.

Kim Rossi was on a Repsol 500 in his first year, and his only competitor was KR Jnr. Rossi has always had full factory support and JB in his corner. He also binned it repeatedly that year and went on to win the next 5 titles.... Could be that Casey will do the same thing - only he has much stiffer competition to face.

Jack Casey was on pole in his second MotoGP race and nearly won his third - just got pipped at the post by Melandri. And that was on those 'ferocious' 990's! it's not the bikes - it's the quality of the riders. This new lot are very, very good.

Rossi will probably win races this year and be a force - he always is. But the only reason he isn't winning anymore is because he is being beaten. Quite convincingly too. :blush:

Well Rossi is certainly being tested now - and he's not shining very brightly! those people saying Rossi's tyres went off - and it was the bike that did it not the rider - LMAO! it's about managing your tyres and fuel for the whole race - not being quick for two or three laps. We're witnessing a changing of the guard. if you don't like it then go watch another series. I think there is entry level racing where the bikes are all the same....
