Normally I wouldn't comment on the result of the race and say fair play to the winner.....But... Stoner's pre race comments really annoyed me. When asked what sort of difference having a bike that was clearly 10-15mph faster than the rest had on the racing, he stated: ' Oh not much really ' Lying little bastard Rossi on an inferior bike, caught and overtook the Aussie on nearly every corner, but the Ducati was so fast that even BADGER could have out dragged Rossi on any straight At least Stoner should be man enough to admit the advantage is huge and clearly visible. Rossi had no choice but to accept second place, and was so frustrated he almost trashed it during the race trying so hard. I'd like to see Rossi on that Ducati :hmm: Stoner has far from gone up in my estimation

100% DISAGREE..... :stir: I think Stoner was very humble in his reply. He was not boasting about his bike having more power than Rossi's Yam. Yes of course the Duke has more power, but for goodness sake, you have to be a good rider to use it....look at Capirossi , he had the same bike ..and only just made it to 6th. I thought it was a very interesting race, Rossi/Stoner 50/50 one gaind the other lost out on different parts of the track..... Rossi is having to dig deep to race this year. To my mind that makes for good racing, from a spectator point of veiw, i want to see close hard fort racers. Not one guy dominating the Practice/Race/Championship....boring incoming :brick: dont care, bring it on !!!!!
