Is that news? Lorenzo is close however so it may be a race this time.
Interesting to see so many new Stoner fans (and Rossi knockers) on KBer this season!

[White trash]

First three on the grid are in a league of their own. I think Stoner's going to once again control the race from the front, Pedro and George may have a little scrap, of which George will come out on top.

Funny thing that. I had long winded 'debates' with certain members here when I stated Stoner was the fastest racer I've ever seen in my time of watching/following GP racing. They all but avoid the GP threads now.

I see that if he wins another GP he'll match the great Eddie Lawson for GP wins at 31. Pretty good effort, and already more wins than Revvin Kevin and Rainey. Like the guys persona or not...should be thankful we get to see such aggressive yet controlled riding. He's on a mission.

i was impressed when he first threw a leg over a 990 honda....he showed good speed right from the start

[Crasherfromwayback]

Aye. And although he crashed it semi often...better to be fast and crashing than safe but slow! Another funny thing...a lot of experts criticised him for crashing too often on the Ducati. It would appear now that he was simply trying to win races on a bike that in theory was not capable of doing so. I mean...how many races has he crashed out of this season (his own doing)?

The haters must be a hatin this season!!! Funnily enough...most of the haters happen to be Rossi lovers. Double hatin.

I agree that Stoner is the fastest rider of the modern-era (although I won't forget seeing Rainey smoke a screaming 500 down the corkscrew...) We'll have to wait to see how he stacks up alongside those names on the title score, of course. It's a funny game so he'll need luck but he is a hard little fucker.

When I first heard that Rossi would go to Ducati for his retirement fund (`benefit years'), it reminded me a little of when Lawson went to Cagiva in '91. I don't think it is the right way for declining greats to end their careers.

I actually think Rossi went to Ducati thinking he would win on it mate. Especially after the comments he made about Stoner not trying hard enough last year. He's certainly come back to earth with a rather large thud though.

[Dadpole]

Don't forget that when Lawson went to Cagiva, they ended up with a much more competitive bike. He did more than just bank the cheques.

And unlike Rossi (so far), he also won a race on the thing.

Ok, well I've sent my email off to sky. Hopefully you guys have done the same. Even the superbikes are getting delayed by a few hours. The MotoGP video pass looks good though, 80 bucks for the half year in HD hehe

Well that was a great result to keep the MotoGP championship percolating. See Stoners complaining about fatigue getting to him from halfway... hope that's not a recurrence of his problems from the past. Good on Simoncelli for winning the battle for fourth.

Moto2? What can you say... another snoozefest from these visibly slow and ponderous plodders... sometimes I wonder why I enjoy it so much :laugh:

I don't really see what Stoner said as complaining, more like being honest and saying how it is. But yeah...anything could still happen. And the race for fourth was great!

Rossi had a much better go at things too.

Didn't mean it like that. I've come to the conclusion that Stoner simply tells it like he feels it and doesn't much give a fuck about how other people interpret it. So if he says he's fucked... then he's fucked.

I couldn't believe it, myself! I bet he's a very sorry Frenchman today - If I was his team manager he would have been reamed out with an extra large reamer! What was he playing at!

Great to see Simo back to his "you're not passing me like that" style and Rossi looked knackered at the end, as well.

good to see Casey just say he was knackered and lost it - even the missus, who can't stand him, thought it was honest. Otherwise, as usual, GP was reasonably boring, as usual, and the 125's & GP2 had more to hold my interest.

[rachprice]

I thought it was a great race, good to see Lorenzo pull it out!!

[steveyb]

Yeah, I was even cheering on Pedro to catch George, but we got the best result for the championship standings (other than a Stoney DNF).

[Robert Taylor]

Got to concur there Doctor! The ultimate scenario will be for Lorenzo to run down and just overhaul Stoners points lead at the final round.
Apples for apples if they were on the same bikes Lorenzo is the better rider.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Apples for apples if they were on the same bikes Lorenzo is the better rider.

I'd be willing to bet you that wouldn't be the case. We all know Pedrosa is one of the fastest guys out there ever. Ain't stopped Stoner beating him more often than the other way round. I reckon Stoner could bloody near win on the Suzuki.

[trustme]

Yeah lets see Lorenzo on a Ducati. I can't wait. :yes::yes::yes:

Certainly worked for the Doctor:shutup::shutup::shutup:

Edit : KR Snr never really rated Freddie Spencer. ' Good riders can go fast on a good bike, it takes an exceptional rider to go fast on a bad bike ' or words to that effect

Only Stoner has come close to going fast on a Ducati

[carbonhed]

Apples for apples if they were on the same bikes Lorenzo is the better rider.

:laugh: Fuck that's a big call. I love Lorenzo's style and am in awe of Stoner's... they're just really different.

If they were both on the same bike it would probably come down to who could handle the pressure better... that just might be Lorenzo. Give the man a cigar.

Lorenzo is smooth like Eddie Lawson etc...Stoner more like Wayne Gardner or Revvin Kevin!

[cmoore]

yeah!!...lorenzo was in the zone...toner tried for 12laps to pass then gave up....he was concentrating so hard on what he would say after the race that pedrosa slipped past......or.....maybe he is on a bonus to win the championship at philip island...so is saving himself....or maybe not....

hopefully that win shows him he can do it....he is mentally stronger i think...it would be fantastic if he does....not biased or anything,,,,

i bet he doesnt,the points gap is 35 points,stoner will still win if he comes second to Jorge in every round remaining.I cant see Casey NOT winning at least a couple more races this season ,and i think Dani can still win a couple and as unpalatable as it may be i think Dani might get a memo from mr Honda soon

[Brett]

That was a brilliant race. In fact, both the MotoGP and the Moto2 were brilliant to watch. Those Moto2 guys really put on a great show.

[Crasherfromwayback]

You know I'm always up for a 'discussion'. Stoner is gonna win Aragon, Phillip Island and Sepang. Game over.

[Cleve]

Zarco you phukin idiot!!! 0.022s and you sat up??

Phuck!!!

Dennis Noyes did the maths and reckons that regardless Terol would have got passed Zarco.
He says " Compare laps 21 and final lap and you see that there was nothing Zarco could have done - It would have been closer if he had stayed down, but the only way to win was a block weave…and that is how 125 racing is done….

[Robert Taylor]

You know I'm always up for a 'discussion'. Stoner is gonna win Aragon, Phillip Island and Sepang. Game over.

I dont like Stoner, I like Lorenzo and the bikes from the tuning fork temple. It might be a fantasy for Lorenzo to deny him the title but it would be bloody awesome if it happened!!

[trustme]

I like Stoner, for my money fastest rider, still not quite the best racer, there is a slightly fragile aspect to his racing.
Man for man with Lorenzo , I give you 3 possible outcomes.

1/ Yamaha/ Honda mounted , Stoner in the groove checks out , gets a gap & protects it.
2/ Yamaha/Honda, Lorenzo drags him into a dogfight, & the fragility shows up
3/ Ducati mounted, Stoner is plain gone while Lorenzo swaps notes with the Dr

2 out of 3 to Stoner

3 out of 3 for the best suspension and the best leathers on the planet!

[merv]

3 out of 3 for the best suspension and the best leathers on the planet!

How come, when its not you doing his suspension tuning?

[steveyb]

So Stoner for Yamaha in 2012 or 2013?
First rider to win championship on 3 different brands in modern era?

I am sure Dennis Noyes did a good job, but I was reasonable certain that Zarco was just far enough ahead on that particular lap to make it if he had just tucked and wrung the bikes neck. He could still have weaved, just not sat up! In fact, sitting up allowed him to know where Terol was and hence did not weave badly enough to put him off, he knew where he was so subconsiously did not weave far enough. There is absolutely no way that what he did did not slow him down and 0.022s at the speed they were doing (my guess is somewhere around 160 km/h) is 0.97m. 1 m is nearly a bike length. There is no way to know whether either rider was going flat out in lap 21. Dennis is an astute observer, but has never raced 125GP bikes if that really means anything.....
I think Dennis is mistaken and that Zarco would have won, and I know it all!! I just do!!:yes:

[steveyb]

3 out of 3 for the best suspension and the best leathers on the planet!

You mean he is wearing Dainese with AStars logos on????
Shame on him.

[Robert Taylor]

How come, when its not you doing his suspension tuning?

Check out all the guys on the dummy grid / pits wearing Ohlins shirts. They are assigned / contracted Ohlins technicians. At most they each only have to look after 2 riders each.

Notice how most of the very top riders also wear Alpinestars, its similiar in Formula 1 also.

Only the very best will do

Correct, and soon all will be wanting to buy Shaun Harris Motorcycles OIL:yes:

:shit: is this post like a thread Hijack:innocent:

[TCN]

As if any of those leathers they wear are what we can buy. I heard a few things on the forums about how a different company will make the leathers and then just put the brand name bits on to make it look like a Dainese or AStars. Like that Kiwi guy making cricket bats for the English team, and then putting whoever the players sponser sticker on, like GM, Gray Nicolls, etc. We all like to think the GP suits are what we can buy off the shelf... Astars and Dainese would have us believe that... ;)

Anyone have any specs on those suits? Last I read is that they are 3mm thick kangaroo, with fancy composite protectors. Same for WSBK.

I have had the pleasure of usin ASatrs race replica suit for the past few seasons
and have also seen Pedrosa's and Corsers race suit's and from what I can tell there aint F all diffference between what the TV stars get compared to the top line replica Astar gear.

[TCN]

Im pretty sure the race replica is cowhide though. Fairly sure the GP guys would wear kangaroo for the strength and lightness.

Look closely, yours has less room for the genitals, much less...

Well a LOT of racers at the IOM TT use Celtic leathers - I'm pretty sure there the same as the ones Sam Sells to us mere mortals.....
