MOTOGP » Rossi: I couldn't stop it...

Rossi beats his rivals mentally and Stoner is surely the toughest one - coz he has not much mentality. That's the only reason he was the toughest..it took time until Rossi got into his mind. The previous guys ( Biaggi< Gibernau )were more expressive and emotional and hot tempered - being from countries that they are - and that had proven to be their weakness. Stoner is pretty thick so it wasnt easy at all..

..Caopne, so far we havent seen any lessons from Hayden to DP yet..so sure you're right - wanting to see something different - its a natural urge of human nature..keep on dreaming - it feels good...

I also think Pedrosa will be very motivated to do everything to verify his No. 2 from last year..he might just be a little extra fiesty coz of that...Im sure he'd want to be 2nd in the championship so there is a chance..

..I think if Lorenzo is careful , he might be aggressive tomorrow and if Stoner gets tired ( which is likely ) he may have a win. Nicky might do good and poss best in the season. Pedrosa possibly podium - if careful as well, just not sure where. If Rossi gets a podium would be a huge success..

..interesting: never said Stoner was a bad rider nor did anyone here on this forum : but did say that he is not that good as he used to be blown out of proportion last year ( comments like he's a new genius and new Agostini ..). he is great but not even close to being that great - like many others are better talents ( mentioned in my prev post ...) the results are not necessarily a reflection of how good someone is as a rider and Stoner had revealed much more of himself this year and - when under pressure and we have all witnessed it - have to say quite unique but he is far from being the best. Gina Capone: totally agree : Hayden and Stoner do belong to each other in the same team

melandri, pedrosa, lorenzo, dovisiozo - i would say, simoncelli, bautista and a few others are surely better riding talents than stoner

MOTOGP » Rossi 'back to work'.

when Rossi said "we were a bit slow" he meant him and the bike/team working on settings etc..not sure what did Stoner mean when he said "we have to have an operation" - like how many ppl are having their wrist operated on??...maybe he belongs to some kinda club of wrist injurers>? If Rossi uses his mental strength to play with other riders minds - no wonder Stoner is his toughest rival....
