MotoGP 2012

I'm a Stoner fan too. Strange but I'm not usually one to get emotional about particular people in any sport - I usually enjoy the game for what it is rather than get involved with personalities.

But Stoner's won me over because I find him such an exciting rider - so different to the riders who go for smooth.

I also like that he answers questions. MotoGP is another sport where the "PR" answer is too common. Riders are afraid to offend the media or sponsors so their answers and comments are like eating candy floss - quick burst of sugar and then it's gone.

That Stoner is his own man is demonstrated by his attitude. He has always said he's there to win races and if world championships come along as a result, then that's a bonus.

And when he didn't like the direction the game went, he said stuff this and resigned. Looks like he's off to V8 supercars leaving MototGP very much poorer for his departure.

2) And you should be proud of that, he is extremelly talanted

3) you know me better than I do myself, so you know Im too much of a coward and a wanker to follow that treat through.

I was just rewinding the big key in Roberts back to see how long he will bang his symbols for. Sometimes he outruns the Energiser bunny. If we could afford to run his gear, we probably would. I'm just stirring the KB pot.

It's not looking good for the future either.
There'll be an announcement any day about spec ECU's.

Not really.
You see Stoner's repeated comments about MotoGP being ruined flies in the face of the fact that it was his employers, Honda (who dominate the Manufacturers Assoc.) who are doing the ruining...

Ive been saving my broad band, by only watching the 1st few laps...figure the highlights a week later on TV1 will suffice.

"Since that moment something changed, and the engine was pushing me in the corner entries, and I did not know what was going on," Bradl said.
