So you want impossible proof? we all know dorna pull all motogp youtubes the second they surface. I too would like to hear the full interview to make sure of the comments context. You have to admit though, Casey has as much form for verbal gaff's as prince Phillip
Dorna only pulls down interviews borrowed from their site, not those done by newspapers
that are independant of Dorna. It's true Stoner isn't always his best PR man - but I think
he's learned from mistakes and doubt very much he'd make such a negative remark
at this point in time. Every actor and politician in the world complain about newspapers
that misquote, and twist meanings and make out of context quotes appear inflammatory
for the sake of creating controversy on a slow news day.
Those folks who need to believe negative things about the rivals of their heroes
in order to bolster their already negative beliefs will always be happy to suspend
critical judgment - simply because it's convenient to do so.
ok, now, i,m happy too.
if you pay less attention for my support and admiration of Rossi and his achivements, you'll see that i usually try to stay fair to other's as well.
So it's one line from an interview, without a source(link), or any sort of conext? And whaterver Casey said has been translated at least twice? I'm gonna give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

I think the thing that gets missed with Stoner is he doesn't sugar coat or play the everything is ..... dory card too much. Take for instance when they asked him about Aragon. Paraphrasing here, but he didn't give it rave reviews like all the other riders do every time they are asked about the current event track for the weekend. Every time they ask a rider, most always they say, yeah its great, fantastic, bla bla bla. If I remember right, some peeps jumped on Stoner for not saying the track was stellar. And what did he do? He just won the race in crushing fashion. Honestly, for me I prefer the straight talker to the lip service guy. Obviously, this doesn't apply to sponsors, who expect the rider to promote them. But I don't think Casey has screwed them, infact quite the contrary. The loose cannon in that dynamic was the Marlboro man who came out and talked .... when Stones was dealing with illness.

Yes, well I can't find the vid of Stoner's interview, but I found a free vid on Dorna's site you might like. I realize its in Spanish, but try Google translate. LINK

I dont even have to click the link, I know the video in question. It was one of the creepiest videos I have ever seen. It was like some kind of creepy kiddy .... staring one kid playing Pinocchio and one playing that little ...... from Fantasy Island. I turned it off before they got naked.
Actually Stoner does owe Ducati something and Ducati owes Stoner something. It's been a good partnership so they both owe each other courtesy and respect. As to what Stoner said - who knows? I don't believe Italian media.

Thanks Jumkie
I ran that interview through an old Italian translator & then converted it back to English.
Apparently is says: may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the underwear of everyone at Ducati.
We have heard this before as well mate
Ooops, Ok, you heard it here 2nd or 3rd.......take your pick. It will happen.
I agree. How dare anyone bring rossi into a good stoner hating thread
I don't particularly care if he did say words to this effect anyway. As j4rno says he is likely still pissed off at the marlboro man initiated treatment of him last year, and however it may have looked to outside observers he may himself have been in a position to know whether he was genuinely crook. I imagine the speculation about his psychological/psychiatric health was probably quite prominent in the italian press in particular, giving him no reason to love them.
How much he owes ducati will become evident over the next year, with preliminary evidence coming as soon as next monday. If valentino jumps on the bike and is immediately quick and goes on to easily win the title next year it will be strong evidence that stoner owes ducati a lot. if he can't do these things even with greater resources available to ducati as a consequence of his advent it may be that history records that ducati considerably owe stoner.
As opposed to stoner's fake scaphoid problem, for which he clearly only had an operation to lend verisimilitude to his story
