Watching Stoner right now on a Honda feels almost like watching Jonah Lomu taking on defenders with the irreverent disregard for their size or ability, gliding over them like susceptibility does not apply with him; or maybe watching the ‘real’ Ronaldo (Brazil) at his peak; see world cup 1998 and 2002 taking on the world with irresolute resolve or maybe Achilles in Troy; and all that foe (see King Agamenmmon in Troy) can do is marvel and say; “The man wants to die.!!!” Now that’s how good Casey Stoner is when he’s doing what he was born to do, ride a MOTOGP bike!!!!

I don’t know whether any of you noticed this before but has anyone taken the time to observe the way Casey Stoner balances on a bike. Such leveled balance and at such high speeds, one is tempted to think the guy wasn’t born here. The way he handles the bike, the way he races, the way he turns in is just a marvel to watch. Almost takes amazing by surprise. Somebody see Laguna Seca 2008 again; Stoner versus the doctor n see what I’m talking about. The doctor won that race but boy was Stoner admirable to watch through the TV. I don’t know but there’s something about the guy’s balancing on a bike that I can’t put my finger on; its just different, even the doctor in all his greatness does not marvel the way Stoner does at peak speeds. There’s something about Stoner when it comes to balancing that sets him apart; like he was born to be the best. That guy like someone mentioned; is amazing!!!

He sure ain’t no Rainey or Schwantz, as he’s already won more GP’s than both of them! Lawson’s tally very shortly.

Not the “least bit” ? Your yoga instructor would encourage you to see otherwise as there is enough in that headline to prompt further reading, especially by those that have been following GP over the last 3 years.

Your post about the headline has merit. Even 1 win (let alone 7 wins) on the cf frame bike is still impressive considering the 2011 Ducati riders’ results.

re: “hayden’s gone slower on it on several occasions now than what he did on the prior chassis.”

Has Hayden gone slower compared to his own times on the same track with the prior chassis or has the field just improved that much more than Ducati, making them look slower than last year?

I remember Hayden’s first test on the Ducati. After the ride he said “whatever they are paying Casey to ride this thing, its not enough.” I’m pretty sure Rossi had a WTF moment when he first realized what he got himself into. Lets just give Stoner the props he is due because he has been able to do things on a bike that others have struggled with, no matter which version you are talking about. The guy is good. I personally hate that he is with the evil giant known as Repsol Honda now but when he sinks down under the paint and gets down to business, he is a pleasure to watch. Watching Spies come through the field after a bad start this past weekend was an even greater pleasure.

Anyone that thinks Stoner is a whiner is obviously not paying attention. Stoner asked Ducati to sort the bike out many times. But hey…he was winning races on it, so the bike can’t be bad right? So lets just put it down to Stoner’s mistakes…and leave the bike alone. Stoner is now smiling his way to his second world championship, with a team that’s obviously listening and trying to help.

Meantime…Ducati hire ‘God’, and ‘God’ now never smiles, and it turns out he’s a whiney lil bitch.

Work that one out.
