Yes.
And a lobotomy to match the average Stoner Boner.

I have actually tried on occasion to depress my frontal lobe function with alcohol to bring me down to Rossi fan level and make the fight fairer, but it has never worked, and i have concluded that from a scientific point of view only a general anaesthetic would do so.

You should have tried arm transplants instead because yours apparently aren’t long enough to box in this match.

Try a bit harder to be a bit better, Mitchell.
 
He'd do well on the Ducati. That's a stop and go bike that is strong on the brakes, and strong on corner exit.
I reckon it's a stick on he'll be on it at some point in his career.
Basing it on absolute nothing, my theory is MM will be on the move after this contract extension hence Honda signed up Lorenzo and are willing to go in 2 development directions next year. Pretty sure somone on here said that was the case.

Ducati and MM are made for each other.

Convenient for you that you apparently get to be both referee and sole judge of the outcome when you engage in boxing matches.

Neanderthals were not necessarily stupider than .... sapiens sapiens btw, they had larger brains for a start.

You make Margaret Cho seem hilarious, Mitchell.

This is like Trump telling others to be be more empathetic.
 
Never said he wanted to stop at 10. He'll go to Ducati to deliver that long awaited title. He can overcome the corner deficiencies with the Desmo because of how he enters corners. Swing the back out to get the bike turned before mid corner full lean.



Mate, you have no idea how much I hope you're right....guess we need a few years to find out if you actually are tho.

We'll be around :cool:

Who knows? By then Ducati will have engineered the bike to turn as well as the Jap bikes.

If MM would end up on the Duc, then I'd hope not. I'd love to see him doing precisely what JPS illustrated.

And yes, I think he'd win on a Ducati.

I don't doubt it. If anyone (we currently know of) is going to replicate Stoner's accomplishments on the Duc, it'll be MM.

Oh he's right! Quote below from hack oxley interview with Santi Hernández

Tell us about Marc’s use of the rear brake…

Marc uses the rear brake all the time, especially in corner entry because he likes to slide the 'bike to prepare his entry, which came from Moto2. Now we understand how to help with this, with 'bike set-up and especially with engine-braking settings.

And for those, cough.....synn. Who says Marc don't know how to setup & develop a bike. Read the rest of Hacks interview > https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/motogp/making-m-rquez-faster

The Preziosi bike Stoner rode was much, much more complicated to ride than this Dall'Igna bike (and Lorenzo and Dovi have said that too).

Dovi barely lost the title last year.

Agree. There's never going to be a perfect apples-to-apples comparison. The 2007 bike was dreadful, and the first interation of the 800cc chassis (tho the motor was a beast) was even more problematic.

MM on Ducati cannot happen before 2021. Too bad, got to find something else to talk about for another two years...
 
The Ducati is a good bike now. Petrucci almost won a few times, Dovi has had lots of wins, Lorenzo has won twice and Miller has taken podiums.

I don't think Petrucci, Dovi and Miller would be so competitive on a Yamaha or Honda.

Miller has been on a Honda recently so we know that he likes the Ducati better; Dovi has ridden all those bikes with good results in the circumstances, and even if it was years ago I think he could still be competitive on all. Petrucci... yes, he should probably stick to Ducati. Or perhaps KTM in 2020-21.

100% true and that's why I'll never get tired of saying that Stoner was the rawest talent this sport has ever seen.

But a bike can not fully lose its DNA. Ducati is still the most complicated choice among the top bikes, especially for someone that is used to any Japanese machine.
 
Rabat, Dovi and Miller are all much faster on the Ducati than they were on any other bike...
