The ultimate whiner who benefitted greatly from an overpowered Duc and a Honda in the peak of it's turn at the top of the cycle…Great rider no doubt, but I'll never forgive him for his "ambition outweighs talent" comment about Rossi.
I am kind of surprised that Marc's success didn't coax him out of retirement. He wanted…nay, NEEDED…GP to miss him, and miss him greatly. Marc made him the forgotten man. I honestly thought he'd try to make a comeback to reaffirm himself as the greatest rider he ever knew.
Ahhhhhh, you reveal yourself to be nothing more than a nutcase.
Sad, I had such high hopes for you, and then you make the DUMBEST possible post here.
Overpowered Ducati...lol.
Loris Capirossi is the last person not named Casey Stoner to win on the Desmosedici at Motegi 2007. So, in the following 8 years, we have not seen a single Ducati victory by anyone other than Casey Stoner. We haven't seen a Ducati victory since Casey Stoner left 5 years ago. We saw no one other than Casey Stoner score a victory on a motorcycle with a carbon fiber chassis. We watched Rossi nearly destroy his entire career till he got the DORNA bailout to go running back to Yamaha, because he imagined the Ducati was not that difficult of a bike to ride.
In fact, we had the privilege, of watching Rossi get brought back to earth much to the dismay of the boppers, solely because of Stoner.
Stoner once he got off of the LCR onto the Ducati, was unbeaten at Phillip Island from 2007 thru 2012. It didn't matter that he had the most difficult bike to ride --a bike that gave no feedback because of the stiffness-- he won on a pure rider's circuit.
Casey left because he knew there was a life to be lived without MotoGP. He didn't need MotoGP to live life. Very few guys would be willing to walk away from it all at 27 years old, when he had at least another 8 years left at the top level of winning races and titles. He has nothing to prove, just compare his entire MotoGP run to Vale's. That tells you everything you need to know about what he did, and how that changed the perception of Vale to those who see more than just VR.
