When your contract is up you are normally free to choose whether to re-sign or go else where. He was being denied the choice so said he would rather retire. You flamed him. Who is forcing Casey to ride a CRT?

No one, he had the balls to back up his word. He said he would quit if those pieces of .... were implemented into the series, and did.

I could understand if he were going on a CRT bike but he aint. He still has his factory "prototype" so how does it effect him? He moans about peeps .... talking him, well what about the fans that worship him? He is a glass half full type of person for sure. Good riddance i say !

Well hell, that settles it, Rossi said so. Dude, Rossi is searching for a formula to bring his worn out ... back to the front. The slower the better as far as he is concerned. He isnt comfortable at GP pace any longer so he wants things rolled back to a slower time where he feels he can be competitive. Thats what creates pack racing, performance levels that many feel comfortable running. Why would an elite rider want that ....? Answer, the elite dont, the 2nd tier do.

He obviously thinks they are here to stay and will be implemented as the standard. Im guessing the teams know what is coming long before we do. Hopefully this will shake Dorna up and make them reconsider, but i doubt it. they are still stuck on the clown wagon and dont know how to get off

Well that's unlikely to happen for a couple of seasons yet, so why jack now?

This is ........, Boners never had problems admitting ...., it was the blind rossi fans. I'm the first to say it sucks but: I will not quit watching nor posting on a website because my favourite riders decided to retire. I respect Casey's opinion, i do not promote it in any way though.



What's Rossi's hope though? Casey retiring?
 
This whole retirement seems to be affecting Rog. more than anyone!!!

Wait wait wait, now u admit he threatened to leave? So we had a 300+ post thread for nothing? All i remember were denials and interpretations that he didnt/mean to say this. Ah haha

He's made it crystal clear that it's not just about himself... but rather the decline of the sport itself. He spoke directly to the sad fact of a talented rider like DePuniet being stuck on a CRT. We all talk about how much better it would be for us as fans to have more full-fledged factory bikes fighting it out at the front of the pack, yet no person here (that I know of) has ever taken into consideration how much more interesting the same scenario would be FOR THE RIDERS. We all would love to see Cal, Dovi, Depuniet etc up there fighting to get on the podium - and so would Stoner.



BTW - Glass half full people are the optimist half of the equation. Glass half empty would be you, although if it's rum, glass fully drained.

^^^ all the loony boppers are sulking now hahaha. Well enjoy the rest of the season. You will be ...... next season because you only know how to sing one song.

...., Rog, you're staring to sound just like Nino - stupidly simplistic and 100% wrong.



I'm probably one of Jum's 'NeoBoppers,' right? Well, I don't feel '......' in any way. I'll miss watching Stoner and will lament the decay of the series that he departure exemplifies, but I'm not going to sit around and piss and moan about it all. I'll keep watching, because I also enjoy watching J-Lo, Pie Dude, and all the others go at it. So long as there is decent racing, I'll enjoy watching. If/when the hardware becomes a steaming joke (I'm with Pov, and feel it's headed inexorably in that general direction), then I'll probably lose a great deal of interest.



I honestly think that people like you - instinctive 'joiners,' who latch onto a favorite personality to worship - simply cannot comprehend that others are not motivated by similar emotional needs. You see yourself losing interest when your Hero leaves the sport, and assume that all other MotoGP fans will do the same. Pull your finger out, please, us introverts don't work that way. As a general rule, we just aren't prone to developing (bizarre) emotional attachments and Hero Complex crushes with people we've never even met!



In short, you don't have a ....... clue why I watch, yet that doesn't stop you from leaping to some inane conclusion that "I'll be ......" without Stoner around. Yep, that's Nino-class logic at work...

You have lost ur mind Pov. Here u said u felt vindicated becuz Stoner had supposedly echoed ur sentiment, does the same "vindication" of citing a rider not count in this case? And actually, its not even the point. The point is buddy, that Rossi frames it exactly based on reality, that is, factory "prototypes" are unsustainable. I mean i sorta get why u dont understand, since u claim to be "conservative" and supposedly subscribe to the notion of "living within ur means" (except that every prez u've ever voted for has increase the deficit); notwithstanding, paying for "prototypes" is no longer possible! If the CRTs had not been introduced, it well may have been a 12 rider championship (where oddly enuf, Randy Depuniet would have been eliminated (considering Stoners well intentioned but naive hope for Randy to be "where he deserves").



On to the rest of what has become standard ridiculousness for u, Rossi wants and can only handle a slower pace? Oddly enuf, its Lorenzo who sits one point behind Stoner, is the one who was most vocal about his concerns that the bikes now are too fast. So Rossi only feels more comfy on a slow bike? Haha, u must not be paying attention to the speed trap times. (But as usual, u like to throw .... up without actually knowing the facts, right Mr. Lap rider conspiracy theorist?



Have u even followed Rossis comments regarding CRTs? He also expressed that he rather have all the best and fastest technology, but this is NOT realistic. But then again, how much do u care about the REAL world, u still think our prez is a foreigner, muslim, socialist, who is gonna take away all our guns. Haha u are some kind of pathetic man.

Seriously, is that how you'll feel when Flossi calls it a day?

(Shakes head in disbelief.)



Open up, Rog. Share your feelings and your pain with the PS Support Group!

It's OK, we're not here to judge. We can even share a Group Hug!

Geo, i dont consider u a neobopper, but flirting with Pov might get u a membership.

Actually, i'll have to consult a few threads to see if u fit the bill, as i think i coined the term when people were in denial that Casey had actually threatened in a statement to leave the sport over CRTs. This is when i realized a few Stoner fans had lost their minds, that they would deny what was in plain English simply to side with Stoner. Its around this time when i started to be the regular subject of this group's targeting, despite being one of Stoners supporters. (In just about every incident i have been on his side:title 07, Laguna 08, tires, illness, Ducati front, etc. The only exceptions: this idea of not accepting the formula change, mild speaking gaffs, & of course his badmouthing of Nicky, biggy).



So, here is a list of Jum's Newbops: Pov, Mental A., Mr. Squiggs, Bunyip, Wilski, and BM. (Im not gonna put Scotty in this list as im not even sure hes human). This list is subject to change without notice.
