I think this race certainly showed the difference in class between Sooner & Rossi. Stoner was rattled. Rossi made ONE mistake the entire race(the corkscrew),while Stoner made loads. Rossi was calm,smooth & composed the entire race. Stoner was ragged in despairation to keep up. . . in fact,the only place Stoner could overtake was on the "straight" where he could use the power of the Duke-but Rossi always had that one covered by making him ride around the outside. Theres more to winning a race than just going flat out all the time. . . & in this one,the old master showed the young pup just how its done. . . Rossi rocks. . . Oh yeah...in parc-ferme they interviewed Stoner,who whinged & whined about Rossi's "tough" moves. Ha...the lad should learn that its called RACING. . . When Rossi comes 2nd,he has nothing but praise & admiration for the guy thats beaten him. . . but not Stoner. . . he just gets a cob on....and whinges. . . no wonder only Badger likes him . . . :agreed: :agreed: rossi best race i have seen for quite a long time,absolutely fantastic

:hmm: Methinks that there is no a lot o Stoner fans here. Jus cause he went tae a small (compared tae Japanese) bike manufacturer, an won the world title. Now have Ducati won this before. Noo this is no like superbikes where thy jus have a bigger engine shoved in, awe the engines are the same sise. No their fault their bikes are faster. And a dont think they are a lot faster noo. So the guy's no a happy smiley chappie like Rossi, tho Rossi has hiad his moments when things have no been goin his way (Michelin tae Bridgestone springs tae mind amongst others). Now a dont really care who wins the racin as long as its no borin, cause it is goin that way, so bring on the bumpin an the bangin o fairins an gives some excitement.

I tend to agree with you Brakey. I admire ALL the riders that race, they are all brave and talented guys. Obviously some are more talented than others, then there are the super talented riders (thats in another section on here). There are not many that are good enough to make it into MotoGP, and not many are good enough to stay there, let alone win. I dont think it is fair to judge someone just on a 30sec interview straight after they have spent the last 45mins going 200mph trying to get passed a few other riders all doing the same, to have a microphone stuck in your face and asked what you think of so-n-so beating you, (and i am not talking about Casey) with adrenaline still pumping round your body....I dont think you going to get the best response. I too have my favorite riders, and yes they include Rossi.
