MOTOGP » Stoner continues 'near perfect' comeback.

Stavros, good reply to me over the page. What we have established is that if you ride the Duke smoothly it is stable, so if you want to win, then you have to take it into it's unstable zone, and then wrestle it into submission. Only Casey is able to do that. Skill, bravery, foolhardiness, whatever you call it the others haven't got it.

There, that's better.

In this particular race Casey got what he wanted (& possibly needed)....the win. Valentino got what he wanted....the title. They both went about it in the best way possible, but it's a shame that it deprived us of a race. My point is, stop argueing, they are both at the top of their game. Dani must come to terms with the fact that he is on the way down, while George needs to realise that he is still on the way up. A note to 'agree' & 'disagree' button pushers. Link it to a point, it's good to debate.

From an out of touch old fogie who doesn't live in the real world, how are you Aegis? I learnt long ago to do my own plumbing, I'm not much good at it, but it saves waiting in .

To the intrepid Dutch adventurer, sounds like you had a great time and left behind some good friends. Good on you Morgue.

MOTOGP » Rossi: I'm so happy about that lap!

BillyBob....don't beat about the bush, say what you mean.

I also admire Rossi for his ability to enjoy his racing whatever happens to him. They are both masters of their trade, just made differently.

Lucifer, You'll never win against a Stoner hater. Remember....A wise man should never argue with an idiot, because anybody listening can't tell the difference. I think the riders should show their feelings sometimes. I still treasure the sight of Hopper kicking 7 bells out of his Suzuki.

Drifter, I'm with you, including the Hopper bit. Very well put.

MOTOGP » Rossi equals all-time pole record at Sepang.

In 1st practice Rossi, sorted out his race pace on worn tyres. In Qually he has sorted out all out speed. If I was one of the other 3, I would be scratching my head. It doesn't matter to me who has most poles, but remember Rossi didn't bother too much in his early years. He has said himself that nowadays a front row start is necessary, and obviously today he felt that pole was necessary. This man has a huge fan base because of his ability to produce what is needed, when it is needed.
