It also includes Stoners rookie year on a sattelite bike



And throw out that rookie year and those percentages would change a bit. There is NO question that the 990 era as Rossi's, the usual debate is the 800 era, and Stoner stands out there is every department except titles.
 
I couldn't be bothered working out the math but throwing Jorge into the mix wouldn't be bad either.



It may just be (drum roll)



Rossi has a good field of competitors and it is pretty evenly matched right now, which is good for racing, the last race was a beautiful case in point and Laguna is shaping up to be another powerhouse.



Also (to be a little bit of a Boner)



The Honda made Vale look good, the Yamaha made Vale look good



Stoner made the Ducati look good



well said, honda and yamaha both were the best engineered bikes and so made vale look good and now that vale is on the duc he has had the chance to make himself look good by adapting to ride a bike that many have tried..... we are all waiting on the edge of our seats for this to occur, but i'm sure there is a valid reason..

I know who will have the answer to this million dollar question, someone ask Nicky Hayden who between Casey and Vale has impressed him the most ??

The answer may not be as obvious as you think. Nicky rode alongside Casey last year and is now seeing Vale be unable to do even remotely as well as Stoner, but he's having a harder time too. Additionally he was alongside Rossi in 03 when he walked the title, so he knows exactly what Rossi magic looks like too.
 
Starting this topic is probably like signing my own death warrant, but here I go.



Stoner vs Rossi, Ross vs Stoner

blah blah blah blah...............................................yawn.................................................yawn.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................



Lets get one thing straight, ever since Stoner has come into Moto GP its the same argument oooh he's better oooooh blah blah blah.

The fact of the matter is that in every GP season both Stoner and Rossi have particapted in together neither of them have been in contention for the championship battling each other.

Either one has had a in-consistent bike i.e Rossi 07,11 Stoner 08,10 or have missed races for other reasons.



Until both of them have a real battle for the championship with decent ride-able bikes we cannot judge.



If there is a fight, comparison, VS that is the most fair then it is Lorenzo vs Stoner.



So if you want to argue and be a Fan-Boy/Girl for the time being they are your riders.



Knowing in advance that you're pitching redundant, namby-pamby superficial drivel for the express purpose of engendering more handbags at dawn has never stopped you before.

You seem intent on turning PS into Crashnet. If one Crashnet is not enough - let me suggest that you get yourself

a subscription to Tigerbeat Magazine to satisfy your crushing need to waste time on shallow tittle-tattle fluff.
 
Can one of you all pm me when this is cleared up. The suspense is killing me.

Yes, Viper-7 would be a better fit at crashnet with the diatribe he posts.



Or "superficial drivel" as you so accurately described it.

I know a few supporters of motogp who would say "rossi magic" is a contradiction in terms.... I disagree with this obviously....
