Moto GP is good But not as good as world rally or BTCC

We don't want another 'this is better than that' discussion.:p

It was an awesome race. Shame stoner robbed us of a great finish, but for an elbow to elbow race, that was one of the best.....for 6 or so laps at least.:thumbsup:

sime46 20-07-2008 10:15 PM

I agree that wrc i good but I dont really follow btcc so unfair for me to judge.

are you having a laugh :woot:??!

it's the purest form of motorsport there is, bar none!

when you're old enough to ride a large capacity motorcycle at speed, perhaps you'll appreciate what these riders manage to do with two wheels, 150kg, and 250 bhp. they're genuinely putting their necks on the line - no roll cages, no six point harnesses, and no soft impacts when things go wrong.

The best race this year so far. It would of been great to of seen it to the end but never mind. Chris V had a good day aswell.

Stoner`s head must be shot after this weekend. Pure Rossi magic, the guy is a legend.:thumbsup:


Ash, go and play with your playmobil:thumbdown:

Yeah, he threw his teddies out of the cot didn't he!

Lee 21-07-2008 07:31 AM

To be honest i feel a bit sorry for stoner,(well not really). If he had of come along 10 years earlier or later we would of all been saying how great he was and admired him a lot more than we do now. But right now with rossi about he still gets put in his place and rossi is still a lot of peoples favorite. Maybe its his charisma/attitude but no matter how dominant stoner will be over the next few years i think rossi will still manage to frustrate him and hopefully beat him :thumbsup:

dave g 21-07-2008 08:46 AM

stoner had to get out of it or he would have hit rossi and took them both down..what do you think rossi would have done in that situation :)

felt sorry for stoner but he will be back stronger than ever,we forget how young he still is and a lot of learning yet to do.

Chequered Flag Racing 21-07-2008 08:54 AM

maybe Stoner should have used the gravel @ the Corkscrew

Rossi

Rossi doesn`t make mistakes. He is the Chuck Norris of moto gp :thumbsup::lol:

Kash 21-07-2008 09:20 AM

Rossi showed us why he is, well...Rossi.. He had stoner Rattled big time.
It was great racing and that what makes Moto Gp what it is.

:thumbsup:

Southwell 21-07-2008 09:27 AM

Awesome race. I think Stoner was a bit of a baby at the end moaning about some of the overtaking, i think he just got flustered that he had a power advantage but the nimbler Yamaha shows the way in the corners.

Kash 21-07-2008 09:39 AM

Stoner is a very talented Rider however his attidue stinks...The way he was Whining/crying at the end does him no favours at all....
Stonner on this occasion you were beaten by the better rider.. :lol:

CLARKSON 21-07-2008 10:06 AM

Rossi = Chuck Norris

Stoner = Brian Preddy

:thumbsup:

Si2008 21-07-2008 10:30 AM

Brutal Ducati Horsepower will still ultimately struggle against Brutal Rossi Talent.


A god amongst men.

Legend.

After Stoners moaning about hard overtaking, JB said that if Stoner had been around in the '80s/early '90s, he'd have had to deal with that sort of riding week in week out.

Rossi still has some old skool in him, lets not forget folks, apart from little Loris, Rossi is the only one in the current field to have ridden, and won on 500cc strokers.

If he wins this year (a big if) he will be the only rider to win championships on 500cc two stroke, 990 4 stroke and 800s, what else can you say about that?

Here's a debate, would stoner have won a season on an evil NSR500 in the '90s? I think not.

Even if stoner wins again this year, he wont gain any more fans, the same cant be true for Rossi, he's a universal favourite, his attitude, antics, talent, he's got the whole nine. Something Stoner will never have. Nasty little aussie ####.

Lee 25-07-2008 07:43 AM

I dont think Stoner would have won on the 500`s he is too aggressive on the throttle, they would have eaten him alive. The electronics keep him in the seat when he nails the throttle on the ducati.
