My opinion of Stoner, and what I've said from the very beginning, is that he is the FASTEST racer I've ever seen on a motorcycle EVER. Old Oscar used to take me task over how many titles Rossi has won etc...but that's never been my point. The way Stoner rides when he's on it, has not so far been matched in my opinion. All the rest...the moaning...bitching etc, I couldn't care less about from Stoner or any other racer. I respect them all for their balls/skill. I don't watch them for the comedy aspect of it. It's not a fucking talkback show after all.

What about Haga .... everybody loved Haga!! He was insane, ballsy, funny as and took lines no other rider would. Pure comedy gold on two wheels that.

Kevin Schwantz.

No argumen t from me, Stoner is an awesome rider fast and consistent. Two things any team would want in a rider, however his ability to spit the dummy and whinge and moan is not a desirable property he has, John Kosinski anyone!?

I've been to plenty of GP's and seen them both in action. Close...but still Stoner I reckon. I think as fast as Schwantz? was, a fair bit of it may've been he was so loose he looked like he was really honking too!!

Whoops, misspelt

When he was racing I didn't like the guy, but after he stopped riding 500's I ended up being a fan. He was crazy fast on those insane 500 monsters. They were far more of a handful than modern GP bikes.

Always difficult to pick though because the bikes, tyres and tracks were different.

Also, I'm always right whereas you're not (ask Rach). Haha.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the 500's were THE hardest race bikes ever to ride fast. MOST (not all) that could...were ex flat trackers. Casey Stoner is a multi time Aust dirt track Champ. I think they way he slid that Ducati round at insane speeds means he'd be a shoe in on a 500. Pity we'll never know.

Rach has a lot to learn. It's just that I daren't tell her!

Scwhantz, Bayliss, Kenny Roberts snr, Doohan, Stoner, All rode/ride like they had stolen the damn thing everytime the lights went out, whether or not they had managed to set it up properly or had the right tyres. TZ750 flat track bike! Phaark me! Kenny was the original hard baaarstaard!

There's some intriguing stuff here

My team has worked with me for many years: I have no doubt on their capabilities. As for Jeremy, to have him at my side at the moment has its upsides and downsides, and that's fine with me.

When you're used to winning and you find yourself suffering, you have two possibilities: either you work to get back to winning ways, or you lose morale and give up. I've chosen the former solution, and I strongly hope that's what my team will do too.

Upsides and downsides? I hope that's what my team will do too? It sounds like there's been a bit of pasta flying at the team lunches.

Ducati will have closed the cheque book on this year I suspect.
