Dear oh dear...you've all missed the point.
I don't like Stoners attitude ....so what.
Doohan whinged even louder than Stoner....didn't like him either. but man did he suck up that injury...never used it as an excuse.
Who gives a toss who I do or don't like.
It matters .... all......same as who you do or don't like.
I am not a Rossi fan.
My point is, I am sick of the crying and whinging at the Table after the race by any rider. Can't we have a good solid race ? without crying. everyone can see what went on , and will draw their own cnclusions based on who they support.
Stop trying to make everyone agree with your opinion. I can dislike Stoner if I choose.
I am only ........ if I question his riding ability.......which I never have.
In days gone by ( Schwantz and Rainey in particular).....they would keep the niggling between themselves, and sort it out on the track.
Doohan was probably the first ( depends on whether Biaggi's constant moaning was worth listening to/valid) and started all this sooky stuff.
You get paid lots of money to ride....so ride.
That's my opinion, and like yours, matters .... all.
I ( like yourselves) are not living that life, so our opinions matter .... all.
Who cares if you support Spies, Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa, Lorenzo or that silly french sausage. Each to their own.
PS, go back and read my first post. So I don't like Stoner....so what.....if people want to deride me for not supporting who they support (and then woose out and delete/change their posts) and sling insults....well .... them...I'll fire back. Should I cower down to the might of so called superior opinions. Screw that.
I'm up for some good, healthy debate,..........but if you throw a rock at me just for not falling into line with your opinion, and start with insults rather than an intelligent retort, I'll pick you up on it and throw a ....... boulder back.
Who slung the first personal attack ??
All our opinions are speculative.
get over it.
PS...Schwantz ..... on all of them !
Go and get a sense of humor implant.
It is a democracy, you can dislike stoner all you want, as long as he is winning from my side of things it adds to the fun that he is pissing people off. Oddly most of his "whinging" is eventually proven to be factually correct in any case, or ascribed to just telling it like it is when engaged in by other riders.
I have to admit to being not unhappy initially about the inability of rossi and jb to fix the ducati in 80 seconds, but it has gone on long enough now and my current hope is that they can fix the thing in fairly short order (which they show signs of doing) as a full-on stoner-rossi battle would be great, particularly with the signs of open animosity this year.
