<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Babelfish @ Mar 30 2008, 01:24 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Hey, loosen up a bit and don't sound so sore and you might figure it out. It sure as hell isn't because we all love him, most, like me, think he is a bit over the top self centered.
And who says we don't question his ability? I still expect Dovi to outshine him next year on a HRC bike.
So far he is second, not first and the events so far showed some disitinct differences form last year. Lorenzo has:
- No 20km/h top speed advantage
- No passes halfway over the straight after a bad exit.
- A history of a dobble champion, not as mr Crashy.
You can allways question if its the bike or the rider if he is slow in the turns, but you can't question the bikes ability when it rockets away on the straight.
Besides, everyone know he is on a good bike, nobody disputes that, so why state the obvious? But oposed to stoner last year he has no obvious advantage for himself compared to his hardest competition.
Instead of hammering on about how bad the other ducatis are, isn't it about time that Stoner fans admit that the Ducati is good for Stoner no matter how bad his team mate does on the same bike?
I'm not trying to say it's all the bike, cos stoner have proven again and again that he is extreemly fast, I'm just pointing out the verifyable differences and why many of us ment at the time that he wouldn't run away like he did without those advantages. History has shown that he can hold his own over a varity of tracks and conditions but at the time... Besides, most of never said it was all the bike, but that is was an advantage and I still stand by that. He might have had other disadvanteges he ad to fight around but they are all very diffcult to measure or see compared to a power advantage.
Can I just add "He's not Australian" as a reason and also people had noticed him before he went to the big boys class because he had won. Obviously apart from the legions who came on here at the end of last year to say he was ..... and only won because he had a gold helmet, and wouldnt get near Casey or the wee guy with Nicky's bike.

Who does he think that he is fooling. Its funny cause after every race he isn't like, "I learned a lot today." Its, if I would have done this or that I could have been challenging for the win. Lorenzo is out to win this year. Forget the facade about learning and all that other ........ he spews out.
Under-promise. Over-deliver.

It is his first season, no need to get over excited over something so little.

I'm a Lorenzo fan, he's quick and full of ...., alright with me. I don't think he'll be champion until he can handle the wet with confidence. I'm waiting for rain to gauge how far back his is from Stoner and Rossi in terms of puddle riding. No speed in those sorts of conditions is giving up way too many points.
He is an arrogant ....., guess he's backing it up though.
