only 1 second place for elias... and that was more earned cuzz he had bridgestones...

only one damn guy goes fast on a bike, and poof! it is an overpowered bike? you're kinding right...

Surely You're being had, i doubt even the least educated fans on here are stupid enough to think he wasn't on a superior bike in 08.

Why take it easy? Is it so difficult to give credit to another rider rather than slagging him off? All hail Rossi. It's so fecking tiresome. Nicky beat him, get over it. Stoner destroyed him, get over it. Rossi destroyed the field from 2001-2005 and 2008. That not enough for you? A little fair play would do you wonders, mate.

And that's not even addressing your making fun of someone for not using proper english, which is a move regarded by near everyone on the internet as a last resort response. The type of thing you do when you've been had and you've nothing left.

Ok................. I Love Stoner and i Love Nicky, Better? You are funny Austin.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Austin @ Feb 11 2009, 05:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I think to say that the GP8 "had the performance edge by quite a margin" over the M1 might be a stretch. With Stoner at the controls, it was probably the strongest bike on the grid but Rossi, and to a greater extent Lorenzo, proved that M1 was plenty capable of winning races. Agreed about the crashing though, Stoner was trying to run away to avoid a battle with Valentino.


i meant acceleration wise and with stoner at the controls i should have stated that, the m1 is plenty capable i just think the gp8 had the performance advantage out of corner and acceleration.
i think the m1 corner's quicker tho... both bikes had there good and bad points last season.

BRO i wasnt taking anything away from stoner... your reading my post wrong this wasnt a rossi is better than stoner post.... i was just stating that with stoner on the gp8 had abit more performance than rossi on the m1.

dam i cant even make an honest post here without everyone gettin there knickers in a twist.

next time im just gonna keep quiet and leave you to your own devices.

You don't have to like any of them if you don't want to, that's not the point. The point is both riders straight up beat your boy. Quit with the tongue in cheek, 'we all know why Rossi lost etc.' rubbish. Give credit where credit is due. Did Rossi have trouble in 2006? Absolutely he did. Did Rossi claw his way back and eventually overtake Hayden in points going into the last round? Absolutely he did. But when it came down to head to head, one race, Rossi versus Hayden, who emerged victorious? Hayden did. Rossi had the opportunity in his hands to win that title, all he needed to do was finish near Hayden but he couldn't do it.

Those were exactly my points, didn't mean to jump on you like that. The Ducati was quicker on exit and down the straight while the Yamaha was better mid corner and on the brakes.

Oh hello Austin!!, Correct my friend, Rossi did indeed have plenty of problems in 2006, can’t say the same for Nicky though, he had it pretty easy except for his team mate trying to kill him on the odd occasion!!

06 for me,because Ncky won it and we got to see Casey evolving.

No, he didn't have the engine or tire failures that Rossi had in 2006. But he also stayed on his bike. Rossi crashed in practice in Assen, busting him up and making him start from the back and only allowing him a finish of eighth at a track he's quite strong at. And then the Valencia thing spill, more lost points. Nicky stayed on his bike all season when it counted until he got run into.

Dont get me wrong Austin, i like Nicky, hes a good rider and hes a fighter!!, but i wouldnt bet on him ever winning another championship. As for Stoner, for me he let himself down big time with his mard arse temper tantrum after getting out classed in Laguna last year.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Mick.. Rossi.. 46 No1... @ Feb 10 2009, 11:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>2004!!

The 7 votes for 2004 are clearly based on a very narrow focus, that is...Rossi won, period. I can safely deduce that those votes are of course from none other than Rossi mindless cheerleaders. What is so great about 04? Ah the predominate answer: Well Rossi won on a Yamaha that's why. Ok, and 2006? Well take your pick, close racing, close classification of points, drama, ups and downs, Hollywood ending, multiple winners, competitive machines, top of development, raw horsepower, even privateers challenging for podiums and wins, last lap duels, off track whining, and the dramatic finish! etc. etc.

Like I said before, the only reason why those looking at 04 are so wrapped up in it is the same reason why they can't wrap their minds around 06: Rossi worship!

Now in this thread there are some self proclaimed Rossi fans that have managed to tag 06 as the best 990 season (much respect, you can see beyond one man). I'm sure it was disheartening to see their boy lose at the end, as I would have been if Hayden would have lost, but the question was about the the "SEASON" NOT who was the champion.

Again, 2006, simply the best 990 season we've seen!

BTW, McRossi, nothing will ever change the FACT that Rossi went into the last race leading the points. It was a one race duel to the title. You can look back at anything that happened during the entire season, whatever you like, but it came down to one last race. At that point it was Rossi's title to lose. Your boy failed. Nothing can change that. So cry cry cry all you want, but remember that fact. Rossi was ahead and had the entire control of that championship going into the last race of the season.

Nor would I. He put in some hard work on the Honda and put himself in a position to maximize his points haul and it got him a championship. As a fan of his, that's all I hoped would happen in his time in MotoGP, everything that follows is just gravy. Unfortunately there hasn't been much gravy.

Not true - it was abundantly clear the moment that Pedrosa arrived in that garage that he was HRC's golden boy, and that the grand plan favored him from the off. Nicky got saddled with excessive PR, developmental duties and was forced into testing unecessary parts all season, which, far from helping his championship bid, only hindered it. Then there was that clutch.
