lol. It's what you do when you get too old to get anymore!

Ouch. Ankles, wrists and collar bones eh!

I got the fucked ankles, it's awesome on building sites where extension leads are run accross the floor all the time. Every six to twelve months I need a week off for a good sprain that's often purple from toe to half way up the shin.

Wrists and collar bones are fine so far, but I've never done motoX

dovi seems to be get a good setuo on a good bike a lot of the time.i dont think he has what it takes to ride at the absolute edge. this is the abilty the aliens possess. i trult think dovi has the same raw talent of the aliens but not the x factor that the others have.

Lorenzo is the ONE guy that I reckon could threaten Rossi's record of nine titles. He's young enough, good enough, and hates Rossi enough.

yeah, maybe we can watch a legend of the next generation in the making eh?

But Rossi might have 10 by then ?
I think a lot of people are in for a surprise.

hmmm fuck yeah, I want this season to hurry up and be the fuck over for next season already!!!!

No stoner next year though. I want to see a good back and forth battle between him and lorenzo before the season is out.

once his ankle is a bit better i reckon we might see just that,i reckon the championship is gone....so he has nothing to lose.

He's already one in my eyes mate. Anyone that can beat Rossi to a world championship is. Hayden, Stoner and he.

Be careful what you wish for.

We won't be seeing Casey for a few races...

Bummer.

could be worse, he could ride a Hond...

Nevermind.

Having partnered Casey Stoner when the Australian won the title for Ducati, Capirossi said the bike was fundamentally different to the model Rossi had been able to ride.
"[Stoner's] was a different bike. The year he won the title I won a race too and got on the podium twice," he said. "I'd really like to see what Stoner would do with today's Ducati."

"I won one race and got on the podium twice!!"

Ummmm...Stoner won 10 races. The only comparison you can do it this. Stoner got off the Ducati after the last race in Valencia, and did lap record pace on the Honda day after. Rossi got on the very same Ducati Stoner just climbed off...and was 1 & 1/2 seconds if not 2 full seconds off the pace. Kinda sums it up.

Yeah, I bet there was some "Oh shit, what the f**k have we gotten ourselves into" comments coming from the Rossi team after that. Been more or less averaging about 0.75s behind Stoner's lap time all of this year too.

Thank fuck he's going back to Yamaha. Who do you reckon will take who out first? Lorenzo or Rossi?

I dunno on that one. If I had to guess I would say VR taking out JL first, cause I think he'll have to be pushing to get back his form and reputation, whereas JL should be pretty confident that he's the best now. Then again, they could be boring and not take each other out. I've been waiting all season to see who takes out who first between Cal and Andrea, but it ain't happened. Rather disappointed in that.
