TV "Question"
you got to be happy A good quali...= Casey..NO we gone backwards
hesus H C....T...man you just had a great session BE jolly for once
This comment is so inanely ironic, I thought I should have another go ...........
from now on, if having a whinge about Stoner, it should be a requirement of Powerslide.Net that you entertain us ........ you know clown it up a bit ..... get us belly rolling about your problem with Stoner not being a circus clown ......... I don't cpmplain about the riders personalities either cos I can't or cos I find the ones that give us the "shenaigans" ........ embarrassing.
SO come on Pidg from now on its ........
"Hey did you hear the one about Casey Stoner thinking ( Insert some riding/racing related piece of information here ),............. come on entertain us and not bore us ........... or .............. inform us and stick to that
Edit:
I have it ....... for you Pidg. ..... yes the problem is Stoners .... so I will contact his dad and request that from now on they take note of those "old Spice ads" and "showbiz up" Casey's Interviews ........
From now on When asked such questions Casey will pull out a small/soft/cute canine infant, from under the table, and simply say .........
"I have a Puppy" .........

I'd like to watch an unimpeded Stoner at Laguna again, Stoner and Laguna is , and has been for a while, a great thing to watch. Possibly one of the greatest MGP spectacles of all time ( I guess that those who turn up at Laguna could add more )
But I would settle for Lorenzo giving a good chase

L-o-n-g indeed. That's howcome Jumkie has made sure to bring sufficient pirate juice.
Since he's still doing better than any other of the Ducati guys - I guess he's got another
season in red, and then they'll put him out to pasture. With Stoner gone next year -
Ducati (without Rossi) will look like an expensive clown car parade.

With big bore bikes coming, Ducati might hedge its bet and see if the extra capacity puts Hayden back towards the pointy end?
I swear you guys must live in the "happy room" at a preschool
Dear oh deary me, Stoner didn't start giggling and laughing, he told us the ...... facts ...... thats not a fairytale! Doesn't the guy know how to embelishstuff so we can all live happily ever after!
God you guys can whinge, what do you really want Stoner to say?Anything so long as its a "happy Story" ?
Don't worry if Lorenzo wins I'm sure he'll appease you with a "Happy Time Panto"
I know it's not to be expected that he'd be happy when he just missed the pole,and i'm glad that he is frank and talking technical stuff rather than putting on the halfgenuine happyface Lorenzo does.He is a racer and in for the competition 100%,that's great.
I'm a huge fan of Stoner,it's just that you see his face and hear him talk for 1 minute after qualifying and I really wish he isn't going to feed the people from press or viewers that dislike his approach to the press,quite often i wish for this,but he apparently doesn't sugarcoat anything he sais,and that is just the way he is it seems.So,I guess it's kind of stupid of me to wish for something else.
Anyway i'm glad for your reactions BarryM.

Again, what did he say that could possibly get anyone upset? no its more like folk expect a ridiculous Mr Showtime routine ..... and they don't get that cos he doesn't do that type of crap ...... he could put on a song and dance routine ........ but what for.
He's just not that kind of guy, and frankly I applaud it.
Pidg's, and I see your's assertion is tantamount to suggesting that if he doesn't get off the bike and go into a "clown routine", then the world will collapse
How dare he get of and talk technicalities
Pidg. has a bit of a history of finding and posting what he sees as dirt about Stoner. The trouble is he doesn't see anything but a negative with almost anything Stoner does and says, even to the point of not being able to pick up the "translation" problem with the "Shameful" episode, instead he chose to throw out all that is very easily observable about Nicky Hayden, for that sake of his cause
On whether or not you feel Stoner should make you happy in the manner you decide ..... Its MGP, not some "gushy" oestrogen fueled tear jerker/ romantic comedy/ desperate housewives type show, the entertainment used to be in the riding not whether the rider is pulling ones emotional strings..
Indeed MGP used to be a respite from that for some of us

I know,nothing really.
by feeding the press i meant ,not being the robot saying i'm happy about frontrow ,we'll see about tomorrow,say thanks, then leave the seat.
Sorry gecko, the ducati engineers suck. Don't tell me about how stoner has all of a sudden developed his bike , or found his form or hayden his lost his. This is just the usual case of a team catering to their so called star rider. Its funny how at the beginning of the year they could find a decent setup for hayden and now all of a sudden they can't find their a#ss. The bloody tech 3 team can do a better job of engineering their two riders than ducati. As far as coming to terms with his bike, thats the engineers job. There supposed to take in the info and make the bike better, which they seem incapable of doing except for stoner. How many years does a guy have to be with this team before they get a clue. When they can't even engineer the bike to beat the satellite teams then they should get another job. losers.

fully agree with ure comments barry…if u go back to the past and the great champions the ‘showtime routine’ was never in the 750’s 500’s until rossi arrivied but with val ‘it was funny and still is’ hes got the persona and hes very entertaining but ONLY for what it is and was…sure there should be some sort of entertainment but not every rider is like val and val is ‘one of a kind’ but this does not mean that from now on and after val’s retirement everyone should do it for the sake of doing a ‘stupid act’ like lorenzo does! i just walk away when lorenzo does those stupid pathetic things…hes embarrassing !
stoner is a racer and always informative and tells it like it is…yes sure he winges a bit but im sure that theres plenty to winge about the dukes performance in the last few years and ‘the guy is just a perfectionist’ nothing more and nothing less!
i love stoners attitude his racing and when hes got a fast unit between his legs there is nothing better to watch and to see in motogp…letz just race and let the racing do the entertaining and spectacle…if motogp gets down to and needs a showtime routine then it will be a sad time and the end of it.
demingracer comeon...look at how many great riders rode the duke and coudent do anything…and I wonder if the duke is vals type of a unit in its present form? only time will tell…i think what will happen with val and jerry that ducati engineers will be specifically told what the specs of the unit of the next generation of ducati that they demand and require…u don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that what jerry and val have done at honda and yamaha is successful and a world championship winning recipe…the duke will be redesigned along the lines of their successful recipe…nothing more and nothing less as im sure that val will not be riding a unit that is like it is today and not make any changes like nicky is trying to do and all the other past riders did…stoner was very lucky that the duke was his type of unit and he fitted into it perfectly…but this is a rare recipe and val was too with the yamaha…but im sure that jerry and val will change all this and should provide us with great racing in 2011 and beyond!
Demingracer really are you for real?
At the start of the year Ducati (for all its factory riders) went the direction of the 2010 forks.
It became obvious when Stoner lost the front end whilst leading the race at Qatar and Lemans, (his team mate yes Nicky was behind him then also I might mention) that they weren't good for the Duck (telemetry would have supported this by comparing corner speed braking etc from the years before ).
Jerry Burgess said in his TV interview that Yamaha spent a long long time before they put em on Vale and Whore Gays bikes.
It seems that maybe Ducati didn't quite invest enough time and found out the hard way.
Maybe Nicky has decided he likes the feel of the 2010 forks instead of like Casey preferring the 2009 spec items and that he isn't getting the same feel as Casey hence the poorer results (I could never be that Casey's a better rider though).
It seems that there are people that feel that because Nicky has dropped behind Casey there is bias in the team. Nicky has only ever beaten Casey once, so it seems pretty obvious who has got a better grip on how to ride the bike. Check the qualifying results for the year it speaks for itself (including when Casey was behind Nicky in the C'ship).
I really don't think its unusual that Nicky is not as quick as Casey on the Duck as for some reason Casey and the Ducati gel really well.
Its obvious that there are alot of Nicky fan boys that are getting all cut up that he is getting his ... handed to him because of some perceived favoritism in the team.
Besides even if Ducati where favoring a rider who would you back? Someone who has taken a full season to get even close to getting a grip with the bike or someone who is week in week out up the front fighting for the wins (or podiums)?
I tell you what mate its just gonna get even worse for Nicky if Vale goes to Ducati, he will get the same perceived treatment all over again.
Its just not possible that Nicky's team mates are better riders is it?

Well thank the living christ we don't all have your TV coverage
Cos I myself found what he said very informative and insightful
mainly because it wasn't encumbered by the idiotic folk who get asked the same question then answer with
What type of fruitcake chucks a wobbly over Stoners answer
I don't think the Marlboro team has done anymore than they could.US is important for Ducati as for many brands so i don't think they would mind Hayden being on top or Stoner.Stoner hasn't improved much from Friday and Hayden has improved from about 1.22.9 to 1.22.1 or something(it seems) but he's still around 7th.
I don't think they would give Hayden a disadvantage in his homerace,it's just that Lorenzo and Stoner are fast as hell here.
Rossi said in an interview you need a very special confidence to make those laptimes they are doing at this track.Maybe Hayden will take a step up in the race or he is already on maximum with his laptimes i have no idea.

I agree, particularly where dani is concerned. His practice/qualifying times bear the least relation to his race pace in general in any case, and if as is quite likely he is first into the first corner it will be difficult for other riders to pass him even if theoretically faster.

Typical barry bopper ........ in this thread. You are so far up Casey's ... Ardiana can't get a finger up there. Yes, I am calling you a dildo.
yeah! I'm for real, and i still think ducati engineers suck. You have your opinion and i have mine. Haydens getting a raw deal.
MdubSTYLIE everyone has their favourites …whos ... have u got ure hands up? cauz all I read from ure posts is criticism sarcasm and very little constructiveness!
