Much more respect to him for what he had to go through!

And, he leave it sorta open as to if he come back!   [thumbsup]

Was gonna buy it, but found a copy in my Christmas stocking!
Stoner has a few conspiracy theories. He reckons Rossi got sabotaged with a dodgy tyre in 2006!

I've just finished it too, I thought it was poorly written,  but a good storey.

I'm reading this now. It is very interesting, and worth the read IMO. His take on the tire situation when Michelin was supplying is also very interesting...and actually makes a bit of sense if you're aware of the politics in GP.

Seems he faulted Michelin, not Ohlins or his team, for his front end crashes in 2006.
