Laguna Seca Moto GP

[Rev004]

. Rossi actually taught him something especailly how to fight back and pass where it seems impossible to do so.

The only thing that I have found a bit odd in all the threads is why are people saying that Stoner is a Whinger or a Sook and being so Critical of the guy. Yes I agree that he was beaten on the day and and yes he would have learnt something on Sunday and thats what racing is all about, but are people forgetting that Rossi has also done his fair share of whinging and sooking over the time as well. As TimF has mentioned what about the tyres and excuses there, It all seems that Rossi can do no wrong and he is some God on two wheels and when he doesn't look like that he is going to get what he wants he brings the threats out to leave etc because he thinks / knows that he is probably still the best rider in the field so does that show his arrogance. The one thing that no one can dispute is Rossi is one of the greats like the Doohans and the Sheens so he can't have that taken away from him as he has achieved a lot of mile stones in his career.
We talk about great riders etc but does anyone remember the article in one of the Bike mags last year about Doohan when took the Honda for a spin and within a matter of laps was getting round quick enough to put himself on the front row which is not bad for someone that is unfit by there standard so if Rossi is a God what does that make Doohan.

I will say one last thing and then call it quits and that is what a race on Sunday and has the weekend generated some good talking points which is all good for the sport.
