RICHO SAID SOMETHING VAGUELY POSITIVE ABOUT STONER? ... now i can say i've heard everything

Just making good debate Katt, trust me I had to use all my strength not to imagine his big, goofy head going on about how he thinks he`s so good and....grrr. I justify it with the Suzuki/Dunlop/Enron comment

You know - I dont know why Stoner gets such a bashing from you Richo! He's a fellow country man and from what I've seen of him he's a great rider! I remember seeing him at donny in 2000 or something at a support race for WSB, he was on fire - even at 15/16 or whatever.

I wish we had a Brit to support who in his rookie year in GP has had some great results!

It's possible Bradley Smith could pan out. I mean, he's only 15 so it's hard to tell but he's got to be doing something right to get a Repsol Honda ride, right?

Big maybe. He`s still very young and his career is really only just beginning. It`s really too early to tell. He might be the next big thing, or he might never leave 125s, it`s just too early to tell.

it`s all the attitude. I can admit that he`s a great rider and he`s done some pretty impressive things, but I don`t like seeing Aussie riders as cocky as him. I keep thinking he`s going to give us a bad name. I wouldn`t care less if he was not an Aussie, but I`m just paranoid that his arrogant attitude is going to tarnish our reputation. That and somthing about him has always annoyed me, even though I don`t know what it is. I even tried to root for him for a couple of races when he was on the KTM, but I couldn`t do it. Then he moved up to bigger bikes and his ego got bigger and I started to think "This guy is a tool" And well, now I just plain hate him.
