    The whole GOAT argument is a waste of time. You can only go by numbers...and so far...that is AGO. Then of course we have seperate opinions...then of course...it's a free for all!

    But to me...like all before him, Stoner has now gone. So it really doesn't matter a flying fuck. We can only really look forward to seeing the next big thing emerge and cause trouble. And I for one can't wait!

    I'm hoping MM falls off a lot in 2013... that'll be a good sign for 2014 (so long as he doesn't hurt himself too bad)

    I'm hoping he pisses the Aliens off no end right away. I think he will.

    He'll spend next year hurt. The next big thing in MotoGP either does nothing their first year (Pedro) or finds new and spectacular ways to crash (everyone else).

    Not many new ways to do that anymore. Poor old Simo (RIP) invented the last new one.

    One not to be repeated hopefully. But Ben Spies didn't highside into a seagull at 160kph this year so there's still new ways to crash!!

    back on topic ... corner same point , every lap , and the frame "chassis flex " was enough, so that he couldntr put it on the same point ( of the corner ) every lap , after lap after lap .......

    Gotta love and admire Valentino's pass he certainly stuffed up Casey that day and showed him what a rider can do to ensure a win. Epic . The powers that be judged Casey had closed the door on Vale leaving him no option but to dirt track it , and didn't Vale go to win the Champs that year.
    The best back up a Champs on a different brand the next year as Lawson did.

    That's not totally fair. Ago hold the record for the greatest number of GP wins I think, but Rossi holds a whole raft of others.
    The last two years may have dented some though.

    Interesting, that you think the fastest way around that corner is throught the dirt. He made a move on the previous corner. Stoner thought he could hold position by not making room. Rossi proved to be more dedicated/commited than Stoner thought. Pass happened.

    That's my interpretation of that. After hearing both riders talk about it in the latest 'faster' docco.
