 you need to look at stats...and thats where the stoner fans get emotional.

Try again. Stoners stats are improving therefore no emotion other than happiness, deep joy and a general sense of well-being. Someone else's stats aren't. That'll be where the emotion lies.

Thanks Wosideg

so as long as the are within the test limits of tyres, Ducati can book Mugello and go testing and not wait till official test dates from Motogp and the test rider can be Rossi or Nicky themselves.

Love him or hate him thats a pretty cool photo..

(I'm sure the rest of them are doing this also!)

Thick as .....

         Are you foreign? Didn`t bother with school?Have you ridden a bike?Do you think this is a football forum?

rawdwag......... The summarised version without too much detail: Motomatters: "While at Ducati, Casey Stoner said that even when he had identical setups on his two Desmosedicis, they would never feel exactly the same".....identical steel trellis chassis could be large - as much as 15% From BSN: "When we had the carbon frame they already had an aluminium one they were testing. Everyone is saying bad things about the carbon fibre but you didn't ride the trellis frame" 2007 1st 2008 2nd (23 victories of Stoner with Ducati, 16 came in 2007 and 2008. 4 wins in 2009, and 3 in 2010) Why would Ducati change the chassis if the rider was happy with it for fun? Steel trellis is one of THE traditions at Ducati. Motogp.com and wikipedia: "Introduced in 2009 "A distinctive feature of GP9 is its carbon fibre chassis" 2009 4th 2010 4th...leaves. From BSN: "Ducati's problem isn't with the carbon fibre frame and then went on to not say what he thinks is holding Valentino Rossi up".......? Wikpedia: "Dorna and the FIM announced that a control tyre would be imposed on MotoGP for the 2009 season and Michelin did not enter a bid. Cycleworld: In past years (before 2009), the tire company would have been involved and produced specific tires to suit the Ducati. Now, the bike must be designed and evolve to suit the tires rather than the other way around. Motormatters Paraphrased: Bridgestones, have an incredibly stiff carcass, Outside of their optimal temperature range, they are much less forgiving...the Ducati is a prime candidate Yamaha and Honda appear to have adapted to much more quickly than Ducati has. Seems pretty clear to me........Fair dincum, a tinny for Stacey in the Dunny and no clue how to develop a bike. As for the photo "where the tire smokin" a la melandri 2 wheel slide on the Kawasaki 990. They're not called stone tires for nothinks. Rossi is not my hero however I think as an all round sportsman and development rider with 9 world titles he is better than Stacey. As of now Lorenzo's record is also better. Stacey id good though.
