Rossi the moaner!

[cowpoos]

Its definatly Rossi the moaner [im sure his fanboys will be along soon to vilify me]

I spoke briefly to Stoner's crew chief Cristian Gabbarini today, Honda allowing him to explain to me what Stoner meant by "loading the front". That clarified in part how Ducati got itself into this mess, Stoner's absolute faith in the front Bridgestone tire and his ability to put pressure on the front - mainly through heavy braking into the corner, trail braking and then carrying more corner speed - allowing him to heat the tire correctly and get the most out of it. With Stoner on the bike, the lack of feel was never a huge problem, but the difference has now clearly been revealed to be in the rider, not in the bike.

All points to Wingnut on that one huh .

[Devil]

Is that why ALL of the Ducati's are at the back of the field?

[merv]

Yep all their riders are not as good as the Aussie.

Each rider has their style, it certainly seems to be the case that stoner could ride the duke well, but as mentioned already, that doesnt explain why none of the dukes are doing well now.

Blamingit on the rider is a pretty questionable call, considering the total gp wins the guy has.

Really youll only answer the question by putting both guys on the same bike, a bike neither of them have ridden before, on a track neither of them have been to before. That would be interesting.

and you cant tell me the duck has the exact same setup as it did when stoner won on it, those things get changed out every single day

Do you not remember when Stoner first rode the 800cc Honde after last years last Gp He was fast enough that he would have won the race.
He is the most talented guy out there at the mo

Wasnt stoner onthe duck for four years? 07 08 09 and 2010? and only won the title once out of four years? his win on the duck was 2007, so the duck has not been a championship winning package since 2007. hardly the fault of a rider new to the bike
That rossi isnt going to win in his first year on it doesnt really mean a lot.

short memorie....stoner is one to the most winning iders ever....most on that red bike...all years...poles and wins all over the place...rossi can't even get close...if hes the most talented rider...why can't he win on it??? because he ain't riding it hard/fast enough!!

[puddytat]

I thought that Rossi had made quite a lot of progress on the Ducrappy after watching the race last night, seemingly atleast being able to stay sort of with Spies,Lorenzo for most of the race. Dont think theres much hope of a win this year though.

[Brian d marge]

been discussed before , that bike is a pile of doo doo , the feedback from that chassis must be awfull if he wins ANYTHING ,,,hes good , and that just shows how big stoners balls were/are!"

When you're at the top all the arrows are slung at you.

Must be a right cunt being Rossi, what with being used to winning year after year and putting up with people saying 'ah it's the bike', then all of a sudden when you struggle a bit and don't have a chance of winning, it becomes 'ah it's the rider'.
