MOTOGP » Stoner to Crutchlow: I still use the old brakes

Perhaps Stoner brakes less? U brake to slow down, not to stop. Take the speed into the turns Cal!

If vw can turn things around and make instant world champions, chris vermeulen wouldve been a world champion aboard Suzuki.

MOTOGP » Rossi, Stoner joke about Jerez 2011

@Realist There are those who speak through their PR advisors. Thats how an Italian can be good in English in paper statements?

In my opinion the Japanese manufacturers have a policy of making money first, THEN go racing. Just like Honda n Yamaha they sell alot of bikes and hence they spend it on racing, RND at the same time. Thats why I think they are self sufficient, even without title sponsor they will still be there. Its something other struggling manufacturers need to learn, perhaps. On the downside, its also partly why they can also be high handed in terms of management. But then again they have a board of directors/investors they need to answer to. I suspect Suzuki and Kawasaki are taking time off along those lines, make money first and then go racing.

The way Schwantz rode the wheels off the Suzuki in battles with Rainey was reminiscent of Rossi vs Stoner, but it happened very often in the past due to the 2strokes being closely even.

Stoner and Schwantz are similar in that they are both fantastic riders whom i enjoyed watching, but often get discredited too. they both didnt care about being 9 times Champion or such. And both, unfortunately, have poor choice of words. But at least we know its their own words.

For many years the entire gp management and family has also disrespected Stoner. Up till this day they disrespect him by disrespecting his decision. Did anyone say the same of Schwantz who actually quit halfway through the season leaving Suzuki, his team n sponsors stranded?

If only they switched to inline 4 much sooner. They are well known for inline 4. The gixxer 1k inline 4 is quite a power plant. For many years i dont understand why they kept going at v config, which is not their strength and they have very little experience with.

MOTOGP » Rossi, Stoner joke about Jerez 2011

I just read Schwantz's take on Stoner's retirement from superbikeplanet website. He seems to understand Stoner's point in leaving the sport. Schwantz himself did so with similar reasons, midway through his season(so he cant exactly tell Stoner to 'man up'). But what ires him is Stoner's criticism of the GP series. Well, back in Schwantz's days there were no CRT going dangerously slow. Anyone who has shared a track with past gp/wsbk riders will have seen middle fingers and getting slaps on the butt (while cornering) if u were in their way. In my opinion, Stoner couldve been a little more subtle in his criticism. Although it must be said he didnt give a planned speech as it was live interview plus emotion got the better of him.
