I was wondering.....if Stoner is actually Rossi, and Rossi is actually Stoner........then is Rossi/Stoner actually a split personality? And where do their fans fit into the equation? Are they actually tied into the delusional Stoner/Ross/Stoner/Rossi fans of StoRoni.......quantum theory of ......

My own personal theory about Stoner is that he isn't a great great rider like a Rossi but that he is on the perfect bike for him and he's just in that zone. It's just a feeling but I can just image him losing his mojo and this almost perfect Stoner will be gone.
I'm warming more and more to Casey as he just keeps rolling along. It's scary how perfect rider wise he is and that's why I think it will just end one day, and not fade away.
Of course, for sure, I'm normally wrong on these things.

Oh dear, you are silly. It's my own theory no one else. (We Rossi fans don't get emails with ideas and suggestions of how to slag of Casey from RossiHQ, you know.) For sure, I am a Rossi fan but it doesn't blind me to how fantastic Casey has ridden last year and in the one race this year. It's scary how few, if any, his mistakes have been.
It's clear to me that Casey is in the zone at the moment. I wonder how he will react if he suffers a loss of form and if he can recover. As we know from most sport belief in one's own abilities is the absolute key to making it to the very top. I think Rossi has lost a bit of that belief in himself - hence the move to Bridgestone, imho - but so far at Ducati, Casey hasn't had his belief in himself and the bike tested where he needs to bounce back.

In what way does it stink? Almost all the riders display attitude traits that can easily be considered very negative, but often are a reason why they are as successful as they are. I think Lorenzo's attitude resembles Rossi's more than any other rider, but i wouldn't say he will become the new Rossi because it would be silly to expect him to be THAT good.

I think the key to rossi getting back on top is to start saying that casey is wining because of the bike once again. Make him so pissed off that he screws up. If all the riders got together and did that it might work.

hi tom,
yes thats what way i meant lorenzo has a similar attitude, he also likes to celebrate after a win which i think is a good way to give your loyal fans something back after giving you loyal support, but for a stoner win you get a half cocked wobbly wheelie which is for himself and a thumbs up then thats it back to the garage which is just a total bore....
i think its only rite for fans to be given something back for supporting a rider and traveling miles to watch them race.
after a race the adrenilin is pumping and for fans to see you doing wheelies and smoking the rear tire there is nothing better.
