I can handle pain until it hurts.
Lol, this whole thread on Stoner is funny, but i think it shows how the racing has changed from being racing to managing the whole media side of things.
Stoner does not give a shit about media and the show, he wants to ride and get on with it, the media didn't like it and has not always done him many favours.
I am not saying that the others are in it for the glory or that they do not get on with racing, but they have managed the media a fair bit better, a classic example is Rossi he mastered the media extremley well and has lifted the whole motorcycling racing awarness to the forefront in the media.
They all have talent, even the ones at the back of the pack have far more skill than i ever hope to have.
The other riders have commented on how good a rider Stoner is and that it is a loss to the championship. I like Stoner and think he is a great rider and don't like to see him talked down, but we all have opinions. I used to like Rossi but i have come to dislike him as he has got arrogant or cocky about his belief in his abilities when they weren't quite there.
I am coming around to Lorenzo he has become a bit more humble about racing and is not as interested pissing competitions.
On another note, i think the bike to be on at the moment is a Yamaha, the top 6 or so riders usually have a bias to the Yamaha's, so Rossi has probably made a smart move..........
uhmmm....... i think i should shut up.
What The...?
Thats the trouble with reality........not everyone participates
well said and i totally agree
Glenn Eason drinks and smokes and lends his arse to other blokes
Like him or loathe him, and I do neither as I don't know the bloke, he is a genious on a bike. If he had been on a Honda or Yamaha rather than the Ducati all those years, he would have 4 or 5 world championships by now, not 2. He was the ONLY bloke who could make that bike work, Rossi changed his tune soon enough when he got on it eh?
I watch GP's to see the skill of the top riders, not to listen to the circus that goes with it, and I for one will miss watching him.
I hope Stoner gets bored of retirement and he comes back to Ducati in 2014 and shows them all how its done!!
Every season he started with a Ducati,he ended the season with the same bike,and maybe a hash up of bits from the spare parts bin from older models......and could still win more races than the "Greatest Ever"....Rossi!
Rossi goes to Ducati,gets paid Double what Stoner got.....gets how many engine upgrades???.......how many updated frames????......how many swingarms????.....even turned the wholeDucati philosophy of using a frameless design/using the engine as a stressed member...to a japanese like twin spar aluminium frame.....and still couldn't do fuck all.
Yep.....Rossi is the "Greatest Ever"....but it also helps being gifted the best Bike/Team since the day Doohan retired!!!
Even when Rossi went to the "dog" of a Yamaha...........how much a dog was it???? it was fuck all off the pace.
Wow....Stoners only won two championships.....its stilll a hell of alot more than anyone here....or even the great Schwantz....Gardener(????).....etc etc
Good point on how many championship he could have had.
The whole whinging thing, i dont think he has. he was riding the duc at the time, look how much rossi has bitched about it for fuck sake its now more a yam then yam is.
I loved it when rossi fucked up and took out stoner and then came in the pits and stoner quoted rossi and said "your ambition must outway your talent" I think that was AUSSIE GOLD!

That's one of the worst news sites around.
I don't see what the big deal is we're all happy enough to bag everyone else out anyway, shouldn't mean anything different if it's one of us or anyone else doing it, after all plenty of people were on the bash Stoner wagon.
.....and still no ASF GP Photos. Were you lot that messed up?
Naked burnouts? Key bangers? Burnouts on Deano's bike when he's not looking?
