Why does anyone care about Stoner ? He is as relevant to this years MotoGP as John Terry is to next seasons Chelsea campaign !!!!!
Because I am a fan of bike racing, I don't give a hoot who wins the series anymore, I want to be entertained so another seriously quick guy is more than welcome.I don't watch the build up and turn off when the flag drops so don't give a fk if they have two heads or no personality.
This year I want to enjoy the racing, all the handbags and bh slapping can piss right off.
There, that reason enough for you?

No, honestly, enlighten me ? I get he is a fantastic rider but surely he either needs to take a sh** or get off the pot. He is a sideshow at best, a pointless one.
Stoner ?He is a double MotoGP champion !
Sideshow ?
Re: Baz's tyre, quote from Crashnet testing:
"To confirm Loris Baz is unhurt. Walking in paddock. Sounds like engine or gearbox problem. Rear locked up on home straight. So not tyre failure."

Yes, anyone that isn't on the starting grid is a sideshow .... nothing more ...... and like I said, I get he is a fantastic rider, but he IS NOT a MotoGP Racer currently, he is an ambassador .....
Ah, I get ya.Also a tester, and the way Ducati have used Pirro I wouldn't bet against Stoner getting a few wildcard races.

I wonder what happens if they can prove it was a tyre failure and nothing off the bike damaging the tyre.. could they claim damages off Michelin considering how expensive the bikes are now?
You would hope not. This is racing, where things get tested and fingernails occasionally chipped. curlie467 said:

Fkn here we go, the winging tosser has only done a few laps and he's got everyone winging like tossers.
He's not kicked anyone off yet, though !Looking at this shot again, your eyes are obviously drawn to the huge opened up flap at the back but I could easily be convinced that was done post (or mid) crash. Tyres have fibres running in more than one direction so when they fly apart the edges of the failure would show fraying as the fibres have literally been pulled apart. That looks like a neat cut - possibly made by the squashed piece of exhaust top left of piccie.
I'm not suggesting the tyre didn't cause the crash though (just maybe not at that 'split' part) and the fact you can actually see the top weave of the fibres describing that 45 degree pattern on the surface of the tyre I find odd / worrying.
