You'll probably find he can pretty much name his price next time round. I certainly wouldn't mind earning 9.5 mill though...dunno about you.

Yeah I must say 9.5 million would be nice in the bank account that's for sure, just though he might be on a bit more than that but particularly Weber...

Be fair to say he will be worth more come contract time.

how come any thread has to always come back to how Stoner is the best, Ok hes winning at the momment and clearly deserved the title this year and is a top rider but I dont think every moto GP thread has to jump into lets defend stoners right at the top, Let the thread be about 2012 and whos signing for who and weres the racing going to be rather than going on about Stoner sadly I get sick of hearing about him cause I read so much defense on here about him

Funny thing is every thread turns into a slagging off of Stoner & few like Crasher & me defend him, usually in answer to the haters.
I really don't get why so many people hate him, but like many ocker sports people he sure seems to rub some up the wrong way

So what is your positive contribution.

Biggest hope for the season, Ducati gives Rossi a bike he can win on.

2nd biggest. A new alien comes along, sorry but Spies ain't it.

i dont mind him hes not my favourite rider my favourite rider is far from the front but has 1 world title to his name, Nicky Hayden he doesnt moan about shit just gets on with the job

Seems like a hell of a nice guy eh!! I'd also love to see him back at the pointy end. I'm hoping the Thous may help him get there, but maybe not the Ducati.

Yeah, world wide his haters exceed his admirers.

The only riders on the world stage I developed an intense dislike for were/are Biaggi and Foggarty (The rest have my total admiration) but I respected their ability.

And you contributions are right on.

Simo is going to be huge loss......................... He was the coming Messiah.

agreed I think hes capable weve all seen how he used to ride the 990 and was getting quicker right up until they built the bike around pedrosa and it was all down hill from there

Yeah I reckon he'd be right there if they lost the electronics too! Especially on tracks with lots of lefts!!

[trustme]

Hayden is a journeyman, I'd love to be more positive , I really like him , he will never be an alien & yes a 1000 without electronics would be right up his alley

Simo was a loose canon. I remember Slight at Wanganui charging into the first corner way over his head & crashing . Simo seemed to do the same but by the time you reach motogp level you should have advanced past that ,IMHO

Yeah I can see how you might come to that conclusion but i wouldn't right him off too soon..

Yeah.... he was only going to be be the afore mentioned messiah if he could find a wee bit more speed (which was possible for sure) and if he became a lot more consistent than he had been in his career, was a big loss though no question.

Yes....and yes........but the eyebrow plucking is unforgiveable!

[Ivan]

never actually payed attention to his eyebrows to notice that??
