<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (djm @ Jul 19 2008, 12:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>seriously though, as andy roo said, stoner was close to pedroa, but didn't have near the bike as pedroas had. pedrosa has had full factory support, and as most have suggested around here, gotten the red carpet whereever he has gone. even now. hell, its even argued that the serious was changed just for him. (i disagree with this theory). IMHO the serious was changed because honda thought they had the upper hand in R&D. the 5 v rc2IIV ... if you drop a valve what do you have? 800cc. they figure right out of the bat, they had a bad ... engine that would domiate the series for awhile. boy where they wrong!
(sometimes going back to the drawing board and re-engineer from scratch has its benefits. eh ducati?)
funny how though, when it comes to talking about stoner, all of a sudden all of the facts are forgotten, and whatever "consipiracy theory" sounds good at the time, comes to fruition!
So this year is it the bike thats better then Pedrosa or the rider?
Anyways, Stoner with a 21.374 with 30 minutes remaining
Rossi second with 22.394 - over a second behind.
I wanna see some 20's

i think stoner will take win tomorow but i think this will all change after the break.

yea, i know.
the important thing is he can still lead the championship by a good number if he finishes next to Stoner.
i would actually like someone to try to stick it to Stoner in the races... to see if he can be spooked.

Rossi has tried that...doesn't work. Good luck to him but a podium finish may not be possible. No way are Hayden, Edwards or Vermuelen laying down tomorrow.

the times stoner is setting just isnt normal lol
the duke is just to quick around and out of the corners
Everybody and especially the manufacturers are burning too many neurons thinking about how fast these go compared to the 990's. Give them until next season, allow the evolution to occur and instead of building mini 990's they will build 800's like ducati has and race the mothers like Casey does.
Evolution or superbikes
