<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (nick666 @ Jun 24 2007, 07:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Wow, this Stoner guy is really talented on straight lines.
How about........this Rossi guy is really talented at crashing 200 yards out of pitlane, whilst waving at the crowd!

yes but theres more corners than straights on a race track.
i think this race today will be a real test for stoner,donny is a proper racers track.if he can finish top 5 in the rain here then i dont think anybody can question his skill over the bike.

I didnt say that Stoner is not a good rider or that he cant control his bike, I`m just saying he aint better than Rossi.

This race is yet another proof of Ducati+Bridgestone`s superiority.

It will take about ~5 world titles plus one title won with a different constructor in 2 consecutive years if possible, to convince me that Stoner can compare to Rossi. If he manages to do that ... my hats off to him.

im with you on that dude, i know its not just the bike but you cant deny stoner having the perfect setup, rossi's bike needs to go on a skip and his tyres burned on november the 5th or donated to the council for park swings.
stoner rode well today i must admit but it has alot to do with bike and setup i bet if he wasnt on the duke this year he wouldnt be number 1 in the championship, stoner and duke is like a match made in heaven.
LOL rossi's tyre today look like it had been eaten away by rats i do feel; sorry for him.

anyways good race looking forward to the next.

Now that's even funnier than your first post!!!!

26 points lead, 5 wins from 8, rain or shine, wins from in front and behind, out rides and out wits Valentino..............and the rest. No other Ducatis in the reckoning.

Of course there are still a few stragglers who think Casey is not as good as Rossi this year, may I suggest you invest in a television!

Or a pair of glasses or motoGP knowledge...or they must be Ostridges with their head in the mud, sand...

How can Casey be better then Rossi ever if he has to win 7 Championships bla bla bla? Wake up to yourselves. For those championships that Rossi won who was he up against? Did he have to go head to head with a former multiple world championship winner? No, Doohan had retired and the rest that were still going around were never able to lay a finger on Doohan. So it could be argued that Rossi was just the best of a weak bunch. At least Casey is proving himself against the incumbent "God" of motorcycle racing and guess what - HE IS KICKING HIS ARSE IN EVERY WAY.

Yes Rossi WAS great but he didn't win last year and he is not winning this year.

On the track now, today in this current year Casey Stoner is no Rossi - he is better! Yes he is better so stop insulting Casey by comparing him to somebody who just can't cut it today in 2007.
 
I predict Stoner will win 3 world titles. He's super talented, anyone can see that unless your a blinkered #46 fan. I'm predicting yet another win on Saturday. Go Casey!!!!!!

Kids, play nice. But I must say that the "its the Ducati" excuse is kinda growing old, or as MotoGPNews said it "Some claim it's the Ducati that giving Stoner the edge. Capirossi fans would disagree."

i have to aggree with you.

i managed to get a chance over the weekend to bump into some of the fiat team including the legendary JB in the bar and apart from michelin dropping the ball this old story of machine not rider cannot possibly have merit as dont forget there are another three riders out there with the same machine give or take , with one rider on exactly the same machinery and package.

lets see how he gets on with other smaller tighter tracks as assen and laguna

TP70 SPOT ON!!!...if you analyse Val’s racing through the years and as TP70 said, the opposition was pretty ........ then, but whenever he was under pressure, a perfect example was the last gp in 2006 at Valencia, Val didn’t produce, 2007 & to a certain extent 2006 were like being on mars for Val he didn’t know what hit him?

In 2007 especially, all these new riders who are giving it to him more than he can dish out and are not intimidated by his reputation, antics, dangerous overtaking then Val is unfortunately lost.
