Ducati making progress?

[eelracing]

I agree that HRC are lining up Marquez as their next 'Golden Boy'. I just think that Stoner will kick his arse to

C'mon Pete your always good for a bite but Rossi has nothing left to prove his record speaks for itself.

However,as good as Stacey is he has to accept that he is now a Honda servant.
Rossi left Honda for a reason.
Nicky Hayden wins Honda a title and what did they do?
Design next years bike around Pedrosa...which ultimately proved a failure.But that was'nt the point.

Marquez is Spanish,this = Dorna/Repsol and ultimately sales in Europe for Honda.It's a given.

People dont like him for two reasons
1: because he is faster than they riders that they like so they hate him( Tall popy syndrome i think they call it) kiwis are very very bad for this.
2: He speaks his mind not lik them europens they cry behind the scenes more than you realise, stoner like Mick speaks how it is

Especially the ones that tried to argue Stoner wasn't the fastest guy round...cause it'd mean they have to admit they were wrong...and aren't man enough to do so.

I also laugh at people that think he's a moaner. It's not like they all don't have a whinge/bitch when things go wrong. There's a lot at stake. Reading Revvin Kevins colums on SuperbikePlanet.com...I think he's a fucking tosser. A few back he had a cry that Stoner dared to call the Indy track shit...when it was the same for everyone. So fucking what!!?? The track is fucking shit, and Stoner said so. As he said..."Just because I won there, doesn't mean I'm gonna come out ans say I love the place or like the track!". Fair enough too. I notice he praised the Japs on the resurfacing work they've done at Montegi!!!

Then there are the people that wanked on about him winning the title in '07' purely because the Ducati's electronics were so much better than everyone elses. Tui.

You don't seriously think Rossi is not trying do ya? He's way too proud for that mate.

He's simply bitten off more than he and Burgess can chew, and both of them have a huge serving of egg on face after the comments they BOTH made about Stoner last year.

Whilst Hayden won the title for Honda in the 1000cc era, it's obvious Honda saw Pedrosa as their long term pot of gold. But I bet that Stoner, having won them their ONLY title in the 800cc era, and the way he's done it (as compared to the way Hayden won it), they'll see his as very different. Note...they Had Doohan and Crivelle on the team at the same time?

Doohan (yep...the Aussie) was the one they paid sqillions for mate, not Crivelle.

Dude you must live under a rock (wHanganui is pretty close)
Rossi left Honda for Yamaha because they wouldn't pay him 20 million and Yamaha said we will.
Sure he was happy at Yamaha but look what happened when Lorenzo started to be a threat Rossi got pushed out because he wanted to much money( same reason he left Honda)
Marquez wouldnt see which way the top 3-4 riders in Motogp went and he wouldnt handle getting beatewn up by them either.
You say Stoner is now a servant? I would say all the top level riders are servant to whom ever they are racing for cant see why you think Honda is and differemt to the others.
Mick had plenty of pretenders try and take him but when it came down to it they are to fragile

I did'nt say he was not trying,but only a fool would write him off

Funny how he pulled finger after the comment was made tho eh.So it got the result needed.

[COLOR="yellow"]So what makes you think Honda will change.(remember Stoner is not popular in Europe even with Ducati fans)

Doohan (yep...the Aussie) was the one they paid sqillions for mate, not Crivelle.

Because Doohan was the only one who could win a Championship on a 500.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Stoner would suit a 500 smoker down to the ground mate. And being an ex dirt track champ (something Doohan never was from memory), he'd more than likely have smoked his ass too.

This thread licks balls.......and smokes arse.

I.E - fucking gay.

I.E - fucking gay.

Wrong thread. That's the Rossi thread.

[RobGassit]

What we're all lucky enough to be watching...is the second coming of Mick Doohan.

Are you saying that Casey is Mick's second child?

[RobGassit]

'Might' be close actually ya Sifter! 10 poles out of 15 rounds (so far), 8 wins, would've been 9. Fastest in nearly every practice session, laps records everywhere. And he ain't finished yet. What would the count be if Gayboy hadn't taken him out at Jerez?

If that ain't a Doohan like crushing I'll lick my own balls. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up with the same number of titles as Doohan before he's finished too.

If you do manage to lick said own balls be sure to post the picture. I see a pic of the week award in your future.

He rides like it.

If you do manage to lick said own balls be sure to post the picture. I see a pic of the week award in your future.

I've had two ribs removed from each side in preperation.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Jesus Christ, that's gotta go in the all time dumb arse posts award nominees bro.

Stoner will never measure up to Doohan, and the pair of them know it better than anyone!

Stoner is good I'm sure, but at the last round it was afro boy setting lap records, not the buck tooth whinging friggin Ausie.

This guy's been around a while and should know a great racer when he sees one...

Seating position.
Vale is indicating that one of his big issues on the bike is the seating position.
Now, when I heard that I thought, well, change it.
Perhaps it is not quite so easy.
Then I saw this at Motegi lap after lap.

Has anyone seen him doing this before?
I certainly haven't.
Maybe there is something in what he says.

What, that his seat is on a duc instead of a honda this year you mean? Yeh, I can see how that could cause some issues

It's the only way to draw attention to yourself when you're one of the backmarkers mate.
