I guess if you're a little inclined to tell it like it is and get asked leading questions like that then you probably do sound like you're constantly having a winge.
    Good call, I hadn't thought of that.

    I like that he's happy to give his opinion, and not that of their senior PR person. Far too chummy at those post race conferences for my liking

    I love the latest from Motomatters - his comment on the style difference between Stoner and Lorenzo is pure writing brilliance.

    "Watching the two men circulate provides a stunning contrast, and is a thing of beauty to behold. Lorenzo, at his most 'Mantequilla' is smooth as butter on a summer's day. He never looks like he is trying, riding more like he was being scored for style than racing a motorcycle at the outer limits of its performance envelope. Stoner, on the other hand, punishes the Honda RC213V beneath him as if he had been taking lessons from Torquemada. His style is wild, ragged, throwing the bike around and letting it squirm and wriggle like a captured eel. Lorenzo rounds the corners with the grand sweeping gestures of a medieval nobleman, while Stoner flings the bike into the corner, squares it off, and squirts it out like a Victorian pugilist, doing it what it takes to beat the corner into submission. Though there may not be passing on every lap, yet there is great aesthetic appeal in watching the two best motorcycle racers of the moment slug it out."
    whilst stoner may look ragged i dont thinks it his inputs,i think he just lets the bike move and wriggle around.I dont think a rough style would result in a soft rear tyre lasting the whole race.I aslo dont think he "squares it of in the normal sense,he gets on the gas miles earlier than anyone else

    OK, we'll leave Vale on the heap of shit he's riding now, and Biaggi can ride the Yamaha.

    Make Rossi remove a plug lead and you're getting close to fair.

    I don't think the electronics will like that very much.

It's one thing I've never seen Stoner moan about! Most other things yes...
    Agree, its one tough call to make on the road to self-improvement

    It would be interesting to see the difference in Stoner & Lorenzo's tires at the end of a race. I bet Stoner has more rubber left on the front & Lorenzo more on the rear. Classic European front loading (later braking, higher corner speed) v American (early on the gas, faster exit)) rear sliding. Maybe. Only mentioned coz I'm reading about it....

    Stoner is Australian, but you're right.

    European finesse, australian brute.
