Of all the many column inches devoted to Stoner's retirement announcement my pick for best comment is this:

"His talent outweighed his ambition."

Alas, I can't remember where I saw that so I can't attribute it.

Now they can joke about it:

. This retrospective appeal is due simply to the fact that if Stoner wins the title this year, all and sundry will claim that whoever wins next year only did so because Stoner wasn't there.

I won't be one of them. It matters not a fuck once he's gone.

Yeah. I dunno if Mick Doohan was still around that anyone would be beating him. Hardly relevant though eh!

Me too. Hope it see saws all season right till the last round! Been ages (2006?) since we've had that thrill!

I think Stoner will do the bizz. He's always gone pretty good there. Pedro has dropped his bundle I reckon.

You may be just a bit unkind to the dwarf but we'll see. What's the weather forecast?
Now if we could just get Bautista in the top six it'd be good for my MCN team.

I've nothing against Pedro. He's fucking awesome. But he just seems to have lost a bit of his edge? I hope like fuck it's dry all weekend. I'm a bit over all the rain do far.

I see cal has the upgraded brake package now. Hopefully this can deliver him the most consistant lap time he is after

Wonder if HRC are looking at him as an option?

Only if Lorenzo, Pedro and Rossi are all with others. He needs to win lots and not just come 4th or 5th for a few races.
