You should write for MCN Barry...it clearly doesnt say that! Its says the piece of .... Ducati makes Rossi look ordinary(when he clearly isnt).
Yeah Yeah, Rossi is an ordinary rider. So what does that make Stoner in 08 and 09 when he got handed his arse by Rossi?
Seriously, some folk on here need to understand that all the greetin and bitchin, isn't going to change history. Sorry you just have to suck it up.
My opinion is still that going to the Ducati at this stage in his career was a mistake for Rossi, he's not going to risk injury now by overiding the Duc, and his pride made him leave Yamaha. Not a good situation.
It's really insulting to the likes of Biaggi, Hayden et al, the crap that is spouted on here about how Rossi never had any competition. It's also insulting to Lorenzo, Pedrosa and Stoner who Rossi defeated in 08 and 09.
The blinkered outlook of the Stoner groupies on here is laughable, and the "you just say that coz Rossi isn't winning" crap is sooo boring. I'm a Rossi fan, and have been since 125s, before that I was a massive Doohan fan. I quite happily said last year that whether or not Rossi was injured last year, Lorenzo would have taken the title. Really blinkered that I was happy to see Rossi's team mate take the title eh? And there is no doubt that Stoner is going to deserve the title this year, all things staying in his favour.
There's the difference, most Rossi fans I know have nothing but respect for Stoner's riding ability, or Lorenzo's. OK, I'll admit, I think Pedrosa is fast as ...., but yet to see him really showing "racecraft", he can win from the front, but once he's been passed, the fight goes.
As I've said before, it's Stoner's greetin and skirtin when things don't go his way that puts folk off. Not his ability to ride a bike faster than Rossi.
Sadly, the folk who dissagree with this struggle with basic comprehension, so I have nae doubt I'll be accused of saying Stoner is ....., bein in the huff coz Rossi is struggling, an being gay for not posting love poems to Casey.
This place has a history of a lot of piss taking and banter, but these days, we seem to be attracting folk with niether the intelligence or maturity to understand this. Plenty of on here have said loadsa outragous stuff, but it's almost always tongue in cheek. Me an Jumk used to slag the hell out of each other here, but I'm proud to call the guy a mate and look forward to meeting up with him again.
Holy crap it's just a sport, I come on here for the craic then go back to my real life.
Peace oot
Pete
