Rossi Must Be Giggling...

[thedoc46]

I like Stoner - rides bikes on the edge. All he's interested in is winning on a bike, not the celeb personality that goes with it.

It will be interesting to see how Rossi does on the Duc, Stoner on the Honda and Spies and Lorenzo on the Yam - thats the strongest and, on paper, best balanced field in years

On the edge? You mean cries like a baby when it gets all a little too heated. Even Burgess said, I think Casey needs to go back and watch the old races of Schwantz and Rainey if he thinks Rossi was being too aggressive in having a ding dong with him.

He likes to get out in front and have a good 2nd gap between he and the other riders. Failing that he'll settle for down the grid. There was no way he was riding the Ducati hard enough the last season, its almost like he wined to himself well if i can't be 1st then I'm not playing.

All a bit harsh, I do admit, but that's just the impression i got. Hence my saying its as if he's a little too delicate.

Hot wife mind...

Stoner has argueably the most talent of the whole field regarding throttle and bike control.

He rode the Ducati with hardly any of the electronics turned on which was an awesome feat.

BUT....if the bike isn't setup exactly right for the track and conditions mentally he goes to pieces and stops racing. Even his race engineer said he wasn't that good at feeding back what was happening with the bike , he just rode it and complained when it wasn't working as he wanted without offering any solution.

In saying that , Honda want exactly that , someone who doesn't have an opinion as their engineers run that team irrespective of what the rider wants

Thats why he'll be very strong and possibly the favourite to lift the Championship in my opinion.
