He say's..

"I've seen so many parts in the factory that were never on the bike. They were built at the request of Valentino but weren't tested because there was no time" Also, he talks about Ducati's chances this year.. "It would be unrealistic to think we can go for a victory this year" - Hardly "talking up their chances" Wosi, no "corporate bollocks" I can see... It's painful all this isn't it?..

rossi faster in 2011

Wosi, you have never answered my previous discussion of rossi's Qatar 2011 performance; I accept it is reasonable to discard stoner's much faster fastest lap at qatar in 2010 seeing he crashed, but his finishing time and fastest lap in winning the Qatar race in 2009 on that horrible carbon fibre bike he designed and engineered  were faster than both valentino's finishing time and fastest lap on the ducati in 2011.
 
Over much of my life I have generally been regarded as a kindly man, and I am sure you don't really want me to compare stoner's performances in the last 6 races of 2010, on the bike if any that valentino "inherited" with valentino's performances in the same races in 2011. These include valentino's creditable 5th in the 3rd race of 2011 at estoril and stoner's dnf at estoril in the 17th race of 2010 which I can't argue is an unfair comparison, along with stoner's dnf at sepang 2010 and the tragic terminated 2011 sepang race which thankfully I have never seen. Aragon, Motegi, PI and Valencia are not pretty for your side of things.  

More specious tripe from wosi

Stoner 2010 / 2011 D16 / RCV vs Rossi D16 2011

Yet again for your edification Wosi. These are the only comparable condition races for which data is extractable between Stoner and Rossi.

Catalunya - Hey ho, Rossi was 1 whole second quicker than Stoner on total elapsed race time at one of his favourite tracks. Oh, Stoner ran off track twice.

Mugello - Rossi 38 seconds faster than Stoner 2010 !! Oh Lorenzo 42 faster than himself 2010. A freshly resurfaced track perhaps?

Brno- Rossi 5 seconds faster than Pramac Stoner over total elapsed time. Brno 2011 was the first race in which Bridgestone brought a wider selection of tyre compounds for the riders to choose from.

Misano. Rossi 4 secs faster than Pramac Stoner. Control Lorenzo 12 whole seconds faster 2011 than himself 2010. Reason? Bridgestone brings asymmetrics tyres 2011.

Laguna - since you love Laguna '08 so much. It's time to update and talk Laguna 2011. Truly similar conditions 2010 - 2011. GP10 Stoner 24 secs faster than GP11.9 Rossi. 24 Seconds faster on the Pramac machine in weather, ambient and track conditions that were similar. Control Lorenzo 2011 ran exactly the same elapsed time as Pramac Stoner 2010, or actually 3 seconds slower than himself 2010.

Sachenring. O.K shortened race 2010. Stoner only 1 sec behind the winner after 9 laps. Extrapolate that to a full 30 laps and that's 4 seconds in arrears. Rossi 26 seconds behind Stoner 2011. Fastest race laps Control Lorenzo 1:22.28 2010 and 1:22.02 2011. Pramac Stoner 1:22.53. GP11.9 Rossi 1:22.80

Aragon. Stoner only 1 sec different between his total elapsed race times on the Pramac and the RCV. It's a rocket that RCV. Rossi 40 seconds slower than Stoners Pramac! Control Lorenzo 5 secs slower 2011 than his 2010.

So the best you've got is 5 secs due to a wider rubber selection, and I bring a 40 sec and 24 sec whooping of Rossi by Stoner. Not to mention 9 podiums and 3 wins for Pramac Stoner, versus Rossi's one inherited podium 2011. Christ even Xaus did better than that on the Ducati!

Control riders Lorenzo and Hayden did pretty much what they did 2010 to 2011. The difference each time was Stoner.

If you're going to bring figures to the table Wosi they better be like for like, otherwise they're less than meaningless. But of course meaningless figures are your stock in trade.

Qatar 2011/2009..Rossi faster than Stoner on his debut.

AldoApache..

Rossi's race time was faster than Stoners in 2010 because..Stoner didn't finish.

He crashed..stacked it..was monitor in charge of gravel inspection. Do you get it son? Or are you one of the typical Orange fkwits that don't count crashing?

Nice excuses by the way..hahaha. Try paragraphing Pal, you're posts are giving me a head ache. 

doohanfan..

Qatar 2009..Stoners fast lap was 2 tenths faster than Rossi 2011..His overall race time was a second faster.

Unfortunately for you, it doesn't tell the whole story.

2009, Stoner led from start to finish. He had clear track and was nearly 3sec up at the end of lap two. His first lap was completely unhindered off the start and he did a 2''01.825

2011, Rossi started 9th on the grid and caught up in the first lap melee did a 2'05.437 which means he lost 3.612sec in the traffic compared to Stoner.

From the start of lap 2 til the end of the race, Rossi was faster than Stoner by two-and-a-half seconds and he still had to overtake one or two before the end.

In summary, on his race debut Rossi was faster throuhout compared to Stoner who was into his third year on the Ducati in 2009. Stoners Bridgestones of that year were better than Rossi's in 2011..and that is from Stoner.

Hedgey you dull fkin numpty..how many points & championships are handed out for qualifying?

Qatar doesn't have different conditions..it's a night race.

hahaha..Rossi was faster on his debut Pal, at a Stoner track. It hurts don't it.

Any more for any more excuses?

woofity-woof..purrrr.
