i can't believe he hasn't already, especially since we told him the exact same thing after the last time this happened to him (and the time before, if i remember correctly).


Yes, I had a motorcycle racing on my wishlist set before I left Seattle Dad.  For some reason, it didn't work.  Actually, a few things changed on the Tivo since the move.  The s/o's shows haven't been taping either.  

Brix..thanks for the offer.

Here's the best part.  On Casey's own website, in his forums for his fans, they're even calling him out for acting like such a little pregnant dog.  And these aren't guys who just registered either, these are his old fans talking about how disappointed in him they are.

Now that Rossi is firmly in his head, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Stoner push too hard and throw it away.

QuoteI wanted to win, Stoner cannot think we're here to play games: we're fighting to win, this is racing.

"I've been racing for a long time and, except for these last few years, I remember races to be like this and no one ever complained. Casey is very strong, but we are fast and we are ready for the battle."

The Italian went on to describe one of the moves that Stoner wasn't happy with, where Rossi squeezed past Stoner into the Corkscrew and bounced wide over the gravel as he dropped down the hill.

"It was fun, like an old style race with some hard overtaking back to back. That move was fantastic, he braked late but I braked even later. We went a bit wide but that's a peculiar corner so it can happen. When I realised I was going on the gravel I worried a bit, but the gravel here has good grip!

"In the end, it was the most important victory this year and I think I deserved it. Anyway, he made his mistake alone."

Some Rossi quotage after the race.

Everybody but Casey is in awe of the racing today.  Apparently, Casey would prefer it if they just rode single file from start to finish.  I bet he uses the bumpers when he bowls too.

I'd like to say that Rossi is getting in his head and Stoner is going to crack but there's still quite a few races left. I'm rooting for Rossi to reclaim what's rightfully his but it's too early to count Stoner out.

Pedro on the other hand... [laugh]

Oh and yeah go Spies! I think he did great considering the circumstance. I'm actually hoping he goes to either Honda, Ducati or someone better than Suzuki in GP. Maybe he can team up with Repsol with Nicky leaving to Ducati perhaps? We'll see.

i'm almost disappointed that this is the start of the summer break and that the impact of what rossi did this weekend will be minimized.

i remarked to a buddy of mine at the race today that "wouldn't it be funny if rossi had been sandbagging the entire weekend to give stoner a false sense of security, only to go wheel to wheel with him during the race and break him?"

the kid can race and i really feel for him. he tried this weekend and only withdrew from the race when he couldn't make it through 9 laps of practice.

look at nicky's finishing position and think about what a healthy pedro could've done on the track. it would've been nice for him to have grabbed some points instead of dropping two rounds and the championship lead.

the only person that's gonna end up on the repsol honda team if nicky leaves is dovi. ben's only (serious) prospects are suzuki, (preferably factory) ducati, or a satellite honda squad.

it's unlikely that a satellite honda team would be able to afford him, especially since the rumors are that the factory suzuki squad was taken aback by his salary demands.

did someone say something?

I'm afraid i couldn't hear it over all the leghumping. [cheeky]

Good raceing for most of it.  Shame Rossi needed to make it physical to make passes stick, and then chose to lie about it afterwards.  Shame Stoner screwed up and ended the batlle early, and then acted rather immature afterwards.
