    Dunno if he ever will because Stoner doesn't love the limelight like Rossi - he doesn't play up to media etc

    Stoner just doesn't have the personality like Rossi, I'm sure thats why he's not universally liked as Rossi was in his hayday!
    Much like Schuey in F1, if you annihilate the competition and don't make a fight of it, people turn off!
    Rossi was always one to stalk until the last lap then pass, making a race of what might not have been!
    Stoner is a fantastic rider in the Zone, if he can knock a couple more championships together then he may well be considered with the greats
    As long as he can make it look interesting, then he'll get the recognition he deserves.

    Stoner and Rossi on the same bikes. Now that would be epic. But not likely
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    That's part of the job today. Those sponsors paying $Millions EXPECT their people to be media savy. Stoner will probably get the hang of it.
