Where are the "positive comments"?
Preziosi outright said they went "bad" and JB is calling for calm ( a sign of panic for sure)
"Hate, hate hate!!" You know what I hate? I really HATE people that use apostrophes when they are not appropriate!
You and Chops use the damn things with every plural. Please stop!
Thank you.

I must admit that I found JB's excuse list entertaining. The fact that he feels the need to list so many 'reasons' indicates he andGodRossi are feeling a little heat over the issue.
At least it gives us something to yap about. Racin Deprivation Syndrome (RDS) is a .....!
Not sure that article is as pro Rossi as you might believe.
Sure it says wait, be calm, etc. etc. But the end result is it does give many possible excuses for why Rossi did not perform on the Ducati. And that is the real problem at hand. And it isn't fixed yet and things are looking glum. But possible reasons are just that ...... possible.
I personally don't buy the "shoulder is causing it", mainly because the performance we saw was just to attrociuous compared to Rossi on the Yamaha. But I might buy into the argument that trying to ride the Ducati wasn't good for Rossi's shoulder.
But all that aside, the combination of Rossi and the Duc. is not good.
Next year will tell us more.
Oh and PS. I bet Ducati is panicking like never before at this point in time. "JB's" article smacks of simillar calls of "don't panic", or "stay calm", as the Titanic sank ....... which is generally when such calls are utteredEg. Lets just look for calls of "don't panic" from the Stoner/Honda ship .......... nope ...... nobody seems to be having to call for panic there ......... theres a reason for that
Rossi on the Duc. is the new Titanic ....... thats about how its looking.
Yes, but why define Stoner as an anti-Rossi function? Stoner is Stoner. A unique rider, a natural talent that has few equals in history (I keep naming Mike Hailwood when I try to define Stoner's uncanny skill in riding a bike). But Stoner does not race to 'debunk' any myth, he races to win, like all the others. Destroying Rossi, that's a function assigned to him by Rossi haters, but it's just wishful thinking, or virtual reality.
The assertions like 'wiping the floor' etc. belong to captive fans, or boppers, as you like to say, of both camps. The two riders for all their rivalry respect each other much more, they'd never venture into such silly statements.
For me, the only regret is that Rossi and Stoner are not the same age. So we will see them riding together for only a few years, and never both in their prime. Thank you god anyway, for both of them.
These are the best & most fair racing series that there can be, give everyone the same .... & let them set up & race the damn car or bike to the best of their respective abilities.
Oh & yes Rossi would still come out on top, with Stoner & Nicky in very close company.
