No show for Stoner at Estoril?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (chopperman @ Oct 2 2009, 08:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>i was commenting on you referal to rossi/lorenzo in house fun and games. until casey comes back and scores i really dont think im going to take him that seriously at all.


Actually Roger, you raise (albeit hidden) an interesting point.

Will VR or JL actually want to 'race' Stoner if the situation arises or will they ride for points given that he is not a threat in the title?

Of course, that is really on relevant should CS be in front of both JL and VR as if he is between the trailing rider will need to race him, but just a thought.

Well JL needs all the points he can get. And we all know the donkey only has one gear, and thats flat out. But I don't think thats going to be a problem this weekend. These guys are in mid-season form and cs is starting over again. We will see. But I think he will be right were he was, fighting with Dani for 3rd.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Gaz @ Oct 1 2009, 11:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Depends on your view I expect.

One could argue that they are reacting to the pressure applied to them by Yamaha who have not given into their demands and instead signed Lorenzo and agreed to Lorenzo getting an equal level of equipment.

Alternately, it could be argued that they are reacting to the threat and pressure applied by Lorenzo who has successfully competed against Rossi this year and has now signed a new cintract with Yamah that guarantees him equal machinery.

Yeah Gaz, my compa jumks and I were just bouncing the ball back and forwards!

As you can see, Mdub saying that Stoner was using his mind (or viceversa), as Jumks stated, but sarcastically, was also part of the game.

Rossi? For the Win! (I always hope).

Umm......that would actually be fairly good given recent circumstances .

Having just watched fp1 though, surely any fan of the sport has to like the way he balances that thing on the edge of the possible.

I didn't see FP1 but the results speak for themselves.
Casey After three months off - What right there behing the big 3.
We will see how things progress if he is able to make up time but you have to give it to him.
He IS FAST instantly.. pretty much always..

Yes that would be a good finish for him. Because I know he is good, and being that there is nothing wrong with him (physically) he will finish right were he left off. As he could have been doing the whole time. Fighting for third with danbot. I am hoping for it to be more than a two way battle, but we will see.

And yes I do love to watch him throw that duc around the track, I just have some different views on him about most things.

OMG!

Is that a compliment?

I demand the person who has commandeered Mdub's computer give it back!

Well thanks for that sweetheart!

Its always great to hear a medical report from someone "in the business". I think you said before ..... you're a "Personal Trainer" aren't you? ..... thats like one molecule less Oestrogen than "Pricilla Queen of the Desert" isn't it? ....... I always go to such folk for all my medical diagnoses ......





here we go! .........

Man, we really need racing… This ball bouncing forwards and backwards has all of us going nuts! None of us can deny we like being silly though!

Personal training is not part of the medical field really. But I do give out free breast exams. If it was, I would be less likely to give my "medical" opinion.

It seem that I have frustrated you. Relax take a deep breathe. On my second thought that seems to be some really bad frustration, two post in a row now. Why don't you take the next three races off. Just go on vacation, do some fishing or something relaxing like that. When you feel better come back to us all rejuvenated. You didn't puke on your keyboard did again did you?

I would imagine even the professional ethic is different as judging or criticising the character of a client might on occasion be quite appropriate for a personal trainer particularly if trying to motivate or otherwise deal with an elite competitive athlete.

Right, you can find a lot out about a person by questioning they character. Plus I get paid by people who want to better themselves in some way. Sure physical is what I get paid for, but mental toughness is very important to all athletes. Hey Casey, I am taking clients.
