Exclusive: Casey Stoner signs with Repsol Honda

What a great moment for the sport of MotoGP.



Stoner has shown great courage to leave a team that he has collaborated with to win a MotoGP WC against the greatest motorcycle racer of this time. He leaves a team that he has won more races with then any other racer other than the greatest motorcycle racer of this time. He leaves a team where he was a clear number one to go to a team that has 2 riders that are potentially his equal. He leaves to go to a team that has won less than a 3rd of the number of races in this era than he has won himself.



Stoner has shown courage that only 1 rider has before in this current era - Valentino Rossi.



In 2004 Rossi left Honda for Yamaha because Honda did not show him the respect he deserved. Rossi backed him self and went to a team that had not been successful. Stoner leaves a team that despite giving them so much, failed him when they should have had his back. By offering ridiculous money to Lorenzo and Pedrosa last season Ducati has shown Stoner no respect and Stoner has shown the same courage as Rossi did by leaving and going to a team with little recent success.



Unfortunately the usual culprits will be negative but if you can not see that Stoner has proved himself to be a man then you are still just a boy.
 
so he'll be loosing on a Honda now nice

No Honda have hired him to win. So thats a very silly statement Curve

Quick as a flash one of the "usual culprits" chimes in with the usual negative comment.



Yet when Rossi went to Yamaha they were just a back yard group trying to build a bike. Tell me Curve, why has Rossi now ostracised himself now from 2 major motorcycle manufacturers. Honda it seems didn't care to fight to keep him and it serious looks like Yamaha are forcing him too leave. If he does the same with Ducati then the only smaller factory would be ... MV?
 
no i mean he will do jack .... on the Honda..3 guys in the team but only one will be their golden boy.

I think honda will take a world championship anyway they can get one at this particular point in history,



I wonder what hand dorna have had in this, particularly if there are 3 hrc bikes in 2011, even more so if valentino goes to ducati. The resulting line-ups would be ideal for the box office, with rossi's possible revenge on jorge by winning for a 3rd manufacturer, and since you guys love to hate stoner if nothing else.

Typical response from a moron - question how long someone has been watching the sport! Keep it coming Curve I reckon you are about 20 posts away from saying something smart.

Well you very likely do have a crystal ball Curve, I suspect a lot of your "knowledge" comes from your use of such a device.



I'l just wait and see how Stoner goes

One thing is for sure, it will answer many questions either way

Curve how about you surprise everyone and actually give your opinion and thoughts on a topic rather than just criticise others. If a troll is someone who adds an opinion to the topic then you got it I'm a troll. Your comments on the other hand could be added to just about any forum on any topic because they are generally irrelevant to the topic itself.



In case you hadn't noticed also this is a thread on Stoner. If anyone here is a troll it would be you. Go play with your self in a Rossi love fest thread.
