Don't know who this SofaRacer dude is, but he sure is good at putting out an entertaining read.

Me too, like he said, retired and relaxed. A big win at the time and I am a big fan of Lawson, laconic dude that he was.

Technology marches on (in Moto2 and Moto3)... and CEII explains how to ride CotA.

Seems that although they arn't in the same sport anymore, much less racing eachother, Rossi and Stoner will continue to keep throwing shots at one another through the media. Oh well, I guess it keeps things interesting.

Unless Stoner wants to go back to Moto-GP, he should now simply give it a rest.

Hey I agree with that. But he needs to get over Rossi.

I expect some reporter asked him a question, and he simply gave it, as he does. I expect they're the ones that should get over it, but from their perspective he is probably uniquely positioned to answer that question, and gives a good sound bite. Just because he's not getting paid in MotoGP won't stop the press from milking more money out of him.

Probably quite right.
