It is so sad that these young up and coming racers (Stoner, Pedrosa) are pitiful when it really comes down to it. Getting paid millions is just that, to hang it all out well maybe you need to go back and race on a more friendlier atmosphere LiL boy this is the pinnacle of racing if you and your team manager don't like it go HOME this is a big boy sport and if and of you racers out there are sacred of contact, close calls etc... chose another sport this ain't the school play millions of dollars are at stake here so grow up dude or get out cause you can't spook Rossi he's been there done that and got the cookie :D

I think you missed my point I never said anything negative about Stoner I just pointed out when stoner moved up in ranks he did nothing to prove himself in the way of development of his LRC bike...ie Rossi moved up and was straight away on point with the Yamaha why did yamaha give rossi what he wanted or was it the ability to develop the bike that is all I am saying. I never took anything from Stoner and actually I am glad he giving Rossi a run for his money so please stay on course as to what I am saying...I am very successful in my life by the way :)

Yamaha did not have a WC till Rossi came along I never said it was junk but other riders that had opportunity did do so well on it, so are you not willing to be open about that true fact as to what he did and YES stoner has won one wc thus far...We will see how the evolution of Yamaha and Ducati partake soon in the next years to come who will develop better overall? :?

I beg to differ Stoner had the chance to tune the LCR his first year Rossi tuned the Yamaha the first year and won what are you referring to sir! that is equal turf. 2 strokes had their own kind of character and power delivery. Even the Veteran's say from experience that today's bikes are like no other, the former years of bike development has morphed today's bikes so what are you speaking on. no they don't keep the bikes on the tracks but surly with the electronics it has made the bike much easier to ride ask Schumaucher so before you dispute something think it through first. I am not taking anything form Stoner I just don't think he has a long enough record to be out of bounds for conver

Given Rossi took the Yamaha after leaving Honda and turned the bike around...Did Stoner do that I don't think so and if anyone can provide hard fact show me..The difference between the 2 is one's and seasoned rider and one is a seasoned rider and a developer. How can you compare the two.. yes Rossi has JB but Rossi is no engineer so he needs someone to translate what he wants to a person who can get it done or translate it to Yamaha in a technical format for Yamaha to build it..But first a direction must be decided on and have a someone with the ability and one who understands how it should be done all within a season or 2 Ducati has been at it since they began in Motogp :?

Well I like to address some subjects that were brought up in this forum "The Schwantz era there is no comparison in my book to the bike of yesteryear vs bikes of today...Back then they were raw brute power and you better know how to ride them or they will hurt you...the bikes of today have 1million+ electronics that can be tailored to the riders preference, so to compare the two is.....NOT! Stoner has done some great things with the Ducati but did he really develop the bike or was it developed for him and tailored (electronically ?) Taking nothing away from his ability? When he was riding with the satellite team my thought would have been like Rossi to rally make some relative changes contd!

That was very un-professional on stoners part and I can understand why no one really likes him it has to be clean or he runs away and pouts like a girl he will never get my respect as a racer and to further confirm he is a poor loser. In a world where millions of dollars are paid to racers with some of the best equipment money can produce he is supposed to be able to ride no matter what and frankly ROSSI is and always will be the greatest of time...Stoner you are a cry baby..You don't desrve the title that you hold and probably wouldn't have had it if Rossi wasn't having teething problems with the Yamaha 2yrs. your a serious cry baby take you toys and go HOME B&&&^(^&^*^ :rolleyes:

:? I ask all of you that made negative comments about JT, What do you do to release tension, relax or to help you focus on what you need to do or want to do...What I am saying that Piano playing and using his band to promote as said above, it's called marketing and surely Yamaha would have made some restrictions if they felt it would hinder his results and all the sponsors too...Now it is real simple he made a mistake and wanted to carry on like any other true champion would. It's a new world for him and he's trying to make a statement, Lorenzo got a rude awakening, Dovi, and De Angeles to so give the man some credit and let him do his thing and race the way he wants too....

cont'd could be shrunk down to size without losing any of what was working WRONG WRONG WRONG they should have done like all the other teams and started from scratch because the characteristics are different etc OJ was getting a paycheck that is all it was to him? Because by now their should have been some improvements.. Now the RACER is going to do what he can do for his bike and take that back to Hopper and go from there we will seee :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
