Stoner!!!!! still struggling?

Question

Have they tweeked that duke just a little to much?

Looks like casey would be better suited trying his hand at being a rodeo rider!

Answer 1

I think the tyres are proving to be the real problem at this track.

I dont remember the last time I saw a time sheet that looked like this : http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_r...

Bridgestone only have third due to the great talent of Vale. Casey is a fantastic talent, but for him to only have 9th is very unusual.

Answer 2

Hey Rossi

Like they've said above - it sure makes it more interesting for us viewers, I think this year it's gonna go to the wire and I for one am really pleased about that!

Answer 3

Last year was luck, he got his bike sorted out first hense, the duke leaving everyone for dead.  This year the other teams have sorted theirs and stoner is in trouble.  Rossi or Pedrosas year, this season.

Answer 4

Looks like Rossi's developement of the bridgestones,has already caught up with stoners, and stoner is getting nervous..

Answer 5

Its more interesting this year, with most of the bikes the same. Now its down to the skill of the rider and as you say, tweaking the engines.. Stoner's got skill, but just pushes that bit to much this season.

I'm rooting for The Hopper and our own Jamie Toseland.

Looks like its going to be a good year in MotoGP.

Answer 6

Bit different to last year isn't it. Dunno whats the matter with Ducati, its more like the Ducatis of old, great at some circuits, average at others, I think tyres ( bridgestone) are the weaker this year, but that can't explain all of it, Rossi is doing great on them, after all. I agree with the answer above, looks like it's going to be a more level season, which can only be a good thing.

Answer 7

I wouldnt write Stoner Off just yet. He won in Qatar where although he did the yr before its not a bridgestone track historically. neither is estoril or jerez.

China is a fast track and the bridgestones like it. Stoner did a good job of damage limitation. Rossi did a fine job all wknd. its going to be a long gap to china.
