you are looking for graciousness and diplomacy from an aussie farmboy?
seriously, stoner is used to giving you the unvarnished answer, with little or no thought to tact or sparing of feelings/emotions. this may be a large generalisation but thats an aussie trait in general.
if you dont like it, switch the sound off when hes got a microphone in front of him. his job is to win races, not be a PR guru and IMO he is a little bit annoyed that he has to do the whole post race interview thing.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Son of Doohan @ Apr 16 2009, 05:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Hmmmmmm ...... I'm just wondering what facts you stated - because you didn't state any.

And yes... Rossi was closing in on Stoner, then Stoner put the hammer down and decimated everyone. What part of the equation don't you understand?? Rossi's tyres may well have been going off - and I have no reason to disbelieve him. This is normal in a race situation is it not? Hell, it's normal under any situation - the more laps you do the more the tyre wears. Unless, of course, Stoner gets special tyres that never wear.

OK - I believe every rider now has access to the same tyres - they are now all using Bridgestone tyres.

I'll go slowly for you now so you can understand. The idiots in charge, (Dorna), introduced a single tyre supplier at the end of last season. This tyre manufacturer is called BRIDGESTONE. Every rider on the grid has access to the same amount of tyres from the same manufacturer using the same compounds etc etc etc.
taken off Stoner glasses, heh? get of you white horse and keep it simple, ok?

remove the rossi coloured earplugs

Stoner gave big thanks to his team ..... he always does.

I'm glad he told us about the track conditions, and as well said he was surprised everyone else found it hard, but maybe because of his dirt background it wasn't that bad.

He otherwise did say everything went way better than they expected.

Its just one ridiculous sook after another with you guys

Bet it all changes if Rossi starts winning again

No white horses here. And I'm talking, (at least trying to), talk to you. If you cannot see that Stoner was a class above the field at Qatar I can't help you. I think most people would agree with me. 1 race doesn't make a season, but you're being extremely disingenuous to Stoner.

Sure you can't, because you don't do your homework. Rossi's pace dropped, while Stoner didn't raise his. and don't talk about anyones glasses anymore

I watched the race - don't need any homework - sorry to disappoint you. Tell me - do you think Stoner or Rossi controlled the race?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Gaz @ Apr 15 2009, 06:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>As for Kallio, early signs are impressive and I do hope that he does develop into another rider capable of challenging the front pack as it will just add another variable.

I can't recall a race where anyone was challenging at the front

So you saw Stoner putting the hammer down? Great...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ Apr 16 2009, 04:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>i met stoner in a traffic jam. i said hi, he nodded and said hi back then wound up his car window pretty quick. I think he his a shy bloke who is not used to all the attention, he is a farmboy after all.


If I had a scary scruffy 250lb+ man with gold teeth smiling like a little girl in a doll store come up to my window, I wouldn't just roll up the window real quick, but I'd step on the gas too and get the hell out before I get car jacked!!!

Did I mention that scary man had a bright ... yellow Rossi backpack with a bandana over his head? Rossi fans are not known for their composure ya know. And considering he had his pretty little wife, well...rolling up the window doesn't seem that bad, eh. Hell I might consider running the guy over to save my life!

Scary 250lbs+ man!

I realise you are from the Ukraine... I'm sorry do you understand English? Let me analyse the weekend for you -

Friday - Stoner quickest - no complaint about wrist or bike.
Saturday - Stoner quickest - no complaint about wrist or bike.
Sunday - Stoner quickest - no complaint about wrist or bike - qualified on pole. Race cancelled due to wet weather.
Monday - Stoner wins race from pole leading into the first turn and never headed.



I saw Stoner put the hammer down from the 2nd lap on Friday. What precisely did you see?

you start to piss me off, you have alzheimer's or what? if you have such short memory, I'll ....... remind you:
I said that Rossi was closing on Stoner, fought back 1 second. You replied that Stoner put the hammer down and so on. learn to dispute, morron

No - what you originally said was -
I believe there is a very simple reason:
When Casey doesn't win - it's setup problems or his wrist;
and when he wins - the setup still wasn't good enough or his wrist was still not 100% fit.
And that's it!! Personally I am tired of hearing that all the time

Now, you may have said different things since then but your original argument is the one that I inevitably come back too. We may have argued to and fro since then but your original point is the one that matters.
Rossi started closing in on Stoner to a negligable degree during the mid point of the race. I believe he closed to just under 2 seconds (from a lead of around 2.5-3 seconds), when Stoner responded by reeling off a bunch of much faster laps (as compared to Rossi) and blowing the opposition (Rossi) away. Yes - Stoner put the hammer down - enough to hammer his rivals into submission.

Hey, at least he said hi.

Since we are on the topic of being picky ....... about annoyances here is mine. Does Adriana have something wrong with her neck? She is always sitting with a crooked neck, that annoys the hell out of me. Watch, whenever they show her when she is siting downd she always has her necked cocked to one side. WTF is that??
