Laguna Seca — US Grand Prix

[ecko_nzed]

just finished watching (fucking work getting in the way, pffft). I think I'll just call him Stones from now on, cause he must have fcuking huge ones to pull off a pass like that

Go the mighty Honda's

[BMWST?]

I just miss the catalunya, laguna and phillip island races of before. Will there be anything this season? I hope the 1000cc bikes change things up a bit.

if you think that pass round the outside was nothing special you are in need of some perspective.And it was Stoner passing Rossi there not the other way round.

Sure is purty in slomo

Casey gets it done in a careful, methodical, calculating way. Waited 2 laps for the tyres. Setup Pedrosa and pulled a pass that Simo dreams about doing properly. Then he hunted down Lorenzo and ripped his head off and shit down his neck.
Crasher Stoner has graduated people. Love him or hate him, he is a class act!

Well said that man.

Do you Stoner fanboys even watch these races! or are you to busy creaming yourselves over his missus?

Lorenzo and Dani had the wood over your man at the start..he was struggling.

Once Dani faded (nothing new there tho) and he got past Jorge,Casey was setting the slowest times of the whole race to pull away.

No Jorge dropped away coz he's seriously injured...his ride was the strongest one.

So how come Stoner has won 5 out of the ten races? Has Lorenzo been 'seriously injured' for them all? Thought not. As I said...you seem to be forgetting Stoners HUGE biff at Germany. Chances are he was every bit as sore as Lorenzo was this round. He just didn't put on a huge act climbing the podium steps like Lorenzo did!

Not true dude Casey was doing consistent 1.21's at the start, pulled back in the middle (probably to conserve tyres, saving them for a full on attack near the end -nice tactics) and then did what he planned

And yeah like what's been said, everyone has crashed and been sore

Maybe he's quite good at setting bikes up after all.

Burgess is quoted as saying there is no perfect set up at LS. The riders just have to throw the bike around the track.

I'm sure you'll find like any track, there are certain compromises that need to be made. But that's the same Burgess that heavily critisized Stoner for simply 'following' the other racers around at Assen last year when he got fourth. Seems remarkably quiet now his 'boy' is following the others round in 6th/7th etc.

Last time I checked you win a race by being fastest at the right end of the race by being first to the flag. Using Jorges crash as sympathy is bollocks. Look at the meeting before and look what rossi done last year on his comeback ride from his broken leg etc etc etc Stoner won on the day because he done the best job and rode the smartest race.

You're right but it's not much use arguing with eelracing - he's probably just an anti-Stoner. There's nothing the poor bugger can do to get the respect he deserves from those types.

Actually, as a Stoner fan, can I add that I thought Rossi gave it a phaarkin good shake with what he had to sit on. If it had been someone like Troy Corser he would have pussied around and thrown a tanty in the pits. Rossi is still all business.

Good point. Those opening laps in particular he was ringing it's neck to stay in touch.

Of course we watch it, especially the bit where Stones passed George, over and over and over again. pure brilliance
