    HRC vs Vlaentino Rossi

    Rossi a bit upset after HRC posted this http://twitpic.com/8gt42a on its Twitter account. Rossi says they should look at his first 5 years against Stoner's first 5 years and not the 2006-2011 comparison.
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    HRC must be getting worried if they are playing mind games this early!

    All will be decided from flag to flag on the race days! Incidentally, where the best mind games are to be had too

    What a pointless comparison;

    Rossi won a shedload of titles prior to '06...

    Stoner is 6 years younger...

    Who rode what and when?

    and on and on it goes...

    Rossi should bring attention to how ridiculous these stats are by making one himself that shows both of their performances for 2008-2009

    The comparison is hard to make for sure. They will never be riding the same bike.

    I'm a Rossi fan, because he's a character with shit loads of talent. Stoner has the talent, but he's a whinger.

    I think Simoncelli was primed to be the next huge earner in GP, given his talent and attitude. Alas it wasn't to be.

    I really want Pedrosa to have a blinder year and get a title. Pray for an injury free year for the midget!

    Nah, just put up the 1000cc stats or the corkscrew dustoff.

    Dammit, Qatar is still ages away.

    The "HRC" graphic is from Australian Motorcycle News. I trust they have permission to re-publish it.

    It's a bit like the Tillman-SBW scuffle really. As long as it's good for sales...

    He had better results last year than Hayden did in his title year. How can ya call that flat?
