I'm not talking about passing him in general, I mean making a fool of themselves by taking him out or riding dirty like Elias did... fans and media are very quick to defend Rossi.

Also at Laguna Stoner could have taken Rossi out but said he went around him to avoid hitting him. Some would say this is sporting behaviour but then he wasn't very sporting after the race was he.

When you win the WC and you have your closest rival's name on your shirt who is still racing, tell me that doesn't affect how you race against that person at least a tiny bit.

I think TC has done all the riders a lot of favours, but as its something they all have the opertunity to use the relative gain is negligable.

I have this funny feeling we would have seen just more of the same ...... lucky for the viewers who like a battle Rossi has got more gumption this year due to the early poor Ducati performance ...... had Casey's Duc have even got him to 2 thirds the series would look very different ATM ... and Ross may hav egiven up by now ... as he did in 07. ........ I think Stoner knows this so all he has to do is plug away and when he gets in front he knows the pressure will get to Rossi again as it did in 07.

bla bla bla bla you are full of fubar
