Yes Stoner was a great rider no question at all - but he managed to bite the hand that fed him by criticising just about everything and everyone except himself, not a winning personality, it takes more than just being able to ride a bike to be a good champion..........Still it would have been good to see Stoner Rossi Pedrosa Marquez Lorenzo all going for it with Crutchlow and Bradl with Bautista fighting it out for best satellite rider. I'd be surprised if Crutchlow wasn't up there slugging it out with Bradl for the best satellite rider slot & possibly hunted by Suzuki if they return in 2014......... Then Smith should have settled in and be taking on the role that Cal held in the tech3 team....
