How can you forget the man with more wins than Rainey, Spencer, KRSR & Sheen. Not to mention he is the man whom Valentino Rossi aspired to race like.
His number (34) is retired by the FIM. He racked up 25 wins on a SUZUKI!!!!
Kevin Schwantz.
Anyway, I give Barros the nod in the who is worse battle. Barros is not as good as Capi.
Yes but Mr. Rainey's career was cut short with that unfortunate accident and before that he was really unbeatable mate!!! Kevin could never beat Wayne!!! Wayne was a legend and please if you ask Mick, Kevin, Eddie and all the riders in those days they will tell you the same!!! Wayne was like a Swiss watch he rode that Yamaha to its limits and to perfection!!! He was unbeatable if he woudent have had that accident!!! Multi world champion!!!

Cheers for clearing that up, was a good read and i mostly agree. Naturally i am not quite as enthusiastic about Stoner as you are but i can get that you see the potential. But honestly, do you think he has the staying power, because thats a question i really can't work out.
Well Tom that is a really good question??? Especially that Melandri will join the Ducati in 2008...I don’t know??? as what the rumours are bandied about that they want an Italian as a world champ...it’s hard to tell...but in saying all this if Ducati support Stoner like they are in 2007 then I definitely say Yes for 2008...Stoner is a racer, a tactical racer a racer who wants to go the fastest and break every record before him...what else does Ducati want...but then Melandri is the same...so it should be a really interesting contest and may the best man win!!!
