If so, where does that leave all the people who say Stoner can't ride for ...., and its all the bike.
It leaves them without a foundation to stand on, except when they're trying to tell the non-Boppers
that Stoner only beat Rossi because the bike was fast and fabulous.
Hopefully Stoner comes to 2011 in good health on a proper first tier Honda and gets to show his critics
for once and for all that his successes were a product of his innate talent.

If only. Look at how Bautista did at Sepang - as compared to all the other Ducati riders - some of whom
are in their 2nd MGP season.
The Suzuki isn't a "bad" bike. It's basically a good handling bike that needs an infusion of R&D money to get it
up consistently in the top 5. The Ducati has had the benefit of lots of R&D money - but loses out anyhow
because Ducati stubbornly and proudly insist on their proprietary outside-the-box approach to design.
I think Kallio's shoulderinjury is worse than thought,and diffrerent behaviour from the gp10 to the gp9 has maybe forced him and the team to start over.Hayden said the"sweetspot" is narrow,or something,when trying to find the right set up.So maybe it's the bike,the team and Kallio then.
I don't know maybe his ridingstyle is more suited to Moto2 too?
