Quote:Is it me, or has Stoner never lost a race without him trotting out a
mitigating excuse for being beaten? I think that young man needs to learn how to
acknowledge being bettered on the day because another rider rode better than
him.
Funny how you two people can hear the same thing and get different impressions - when Moaner said that he had lost because of arm pump - I thought 'well at least for once he is acknowledging its his own fault for not being fit enough'. The longer he is at the top of his game the more I begrudgingly come to admire him. Rossi's inability to ride the Ducati made him look very good last year and he is out there at the top again this year. He is no 'star' off the track and has the carisma of a jam rag but when you see the little fecker sliding his bike around corners in perfect control its hard not to admire him. I wondered if the new bigger bikes would give the advantage back to the normal size humans (its a shame side show bob's no about to show us what he could do on a level playing field) but the little lads seem still to be at the front.
