MotoGP 2012

He said - a passing move by the driver known as "Frosty" was "amateur."

Don't see that as the mal à propos of the century. No reference to the guy's mother or anything. The fuss is more about - Stoner said it.

Move on guys. There is a thread called 'MotoGP 2013' that's more relevant.

lol. That's why we have to talk about Stoner in Moto GP 2012.

[montsta56]

He wasn't worried about smoothing the way for a come back in Moto GP, "This championship is a joke".

And to Journos, "I'll read your stuff and pretend to believe it." (Or very close to that...)

His PR skills don't match his riding skills.

As A die hard fan of GP's. I couldnt care what his PR skills are like or that he may not like the fans lol. In some ways its more attractive to me that all he wants to do is wring the neck of the most insane cycles in the world an fuck the rest of the circus that goes with it. It seems more pure to me than waving at the camera on the grid like youve had to many disco biscuts. .... Just the way i see it.

I remember a comment by stoner, about the ducati, trellis frame he could reliably but it on the same point ( of a corner) each lap ..hence the Cf frame....
I couldn't even see the same point let alone remember it .....
Awesome skills

The big question though, could he form a sentance with a quote in it?

Seriousy. What was it that he said? I can't work it out from what you wrote.

That's what I was getting at.

2012 is yesterdays news and that's good for wrapping up the fish and chips or the scraps outta the fridge.
Stoner is now confined to the history books as Ago,Hailwood, King Kenny, Barry, Freddy, Mick etc.

Agreed which is why in my mind Rossi must be the goat??

A few seasons of raw speed against a continuing career of humor, ups, downs and 9 world compionships makes Rossi unquestionably the greatest rider biking has ever seen in the modern era.

I've loved the preciseness of Lorenzo and the growth of pedro but stoner hasn't made the grade this season. His passion for the sport is just not on the same planet as Rossi over time.

Nothing can now dipute that as stoner has retired.

End of story

Isn't it normally you that tells me to drop the Rossi vs Stoner thing?

Remember this. Stoner has beaten Rossi more times than Rossi has him. All this...whilst spending a full season on a Sat Honda with customer tyres, and the horrible Ducati Rossi couldn't even ride. He's won two titles just like Rossi in that time, but a shitload more races than Rossi. Who's the better of the two?

IMHO Stoner's done the right thing by retiring now. He feels he 's achieved what he wanted. (Not what you or I may have wanted)

Rather than do what Edwards, Capirossi and Chilli et al have done. Hang on toooo long.

That is sad and I just hope Rossi does not do that.
