GO STONER!

Fantastic job! So pleased that he got his first victory on his first outing with Ducati! (and also quite pleased that I placed a bet for him to win )

One question though; Edwards?

dear god that ducati was quick down the straight. looked like the rossi was riding in treacle the way the duc just went away from him. if they will have that straight line advantage all year then everyone else is in serious trouble.
Rossi was still the man thou. so much quicker through the bends. the way he was going into the first corner passing people on the inside/outside was absolutly incredible. so so impressive. well done to Mr stoner but im still a 46 fan

what im not a fan of however is the colour schemes on the bikes. there the majority of the back looked dull and un exciting. the suzuki and kawasaki being the exceptions.

The duke was fast in a straight line but am i right in saying they did comment that they may have to turn the revs down for other traks for the fuel to last long enough.If so you may see him start to struggle.Well done though good result and a good race.

It's all speculation. The rumour was that the Dukes would run out of fuel today and they didn't, so there is no reason to believe that they will have problems elsewhere.

Why did Burgess have to witter on about cricket just because his little boy lost?
And as for the comment about "we were faster in the corners..." Whoopy F**kin doo. Maybe he should stick to oval racing if he can't build a bike that doesn't go fast on the straight bits. Sheeesh....

it was just sick. a good ride by stoner but you gotta feel that if he didnt have that straight line speed rossi would have walked it!!
