Good for Andrea and very well deserved. Two thumbs up.

Tokio32, I'd say around half of these forum posts are deliberate wind-ups. Geoff, that's the funniest I've read in a while.

MOTOGP » Rossi vs Stoner - the aftermath.

Casey is exceptionally quick but, like everyone else on the track, he falls short of the racecraft of Valentino. I've never seen anyone else like him. Perfect strategy and perfect execution. Incredible.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi re-signs with Yamaha.

Oh, I agree that there isn't a great deal between the 250s, even though the quality of the team obviously has an impact of quality of setup etc. My point was that the Aprilia was clearly not a better bike when you consider that all of them, except for Stoner, were propping up the bottom of the table. Let's not forget that neither Lorenzo nor Dovizioso were able to score any wins that year with Stoner and Pedrosa taking the Lion's share between them. And I should mention two thumbs up for Vale re-signing. Great news.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi re-signs with Yamaha.

"Fact is the guy is a good rider and the last three rounds prove that, but up until last year, he'd won squat and had been battered by Pedrosa in lowers classes, arguably on a better bike." Arguably a better bike? In the 2005 250s, how come four out of the top five bikes were Honda with Stoner the only exception coming second on an Aprilia (narrowly losing to Pedrosa)? Ah, I see. Aprilia really was the fastest bike, it was only Stoner that could ride it. Get real.

MOTOGP » Rossi insists Laguna victory possible.

Raw Dawg, thanks for the heads-up on that article. It makes some very compelling arguments and I can only hope they ditch the TC for next year.

MOTOGP » Stoner vs. Stoner, sympathy for Rossi.

MOTOGP » Assen - Race results.

Oscar, the feed I was watching showed it during the race and it was pretty hard to misinterpret. BTW, I'm Australian and a Stoner supporter Most of the criticism he gets on these forums is ridiculous and unfair, but he does have a few non-racing lessons to learn because he is so young. I think he'll work it out.

Oscar, it's a good lesson for young riders regardless. But the incident I'm referring to was earlier this season (Le Mans, I think) where Casey returned to the pits and had to be convinced by his team that he should get on the spare bike and get out there.

Dominant performance from Stoner and now we've got a Championship fight. Hats off to Rossi for not giving up. A lesson there for young Casey. Bad luck there Nicky.
