Title: Re: Stoner Post by: ZLTFUL on October 31, 2014, 06:34:32 AM Word is, he volunteered to do it too since the last tests got rained out and he felt he "owed" Honda something...
Title: Re: Stoner Post by: OT on October 31, 2014, 09:06:48 PM Word is, he volunteered to do it too since the last tests got rained out and he felt he "owed" Honda something... Like when he felt he owed Ducati something?Title: Re: Stoner Post by: Triple J on November 01, 2014, 07:59:33 AM Like when he felt he owed Ducati something? When exactly did he owe them anything? They owed him a good bike to ride! Title: Re: Stoner Post by: HotIce on November 01, 2014, 08:03:13 AM Bah. Not sure the meaning of all his tests.
Maliciously reminds me the card player who's waiting the positively winning hand to play [evil] Title: Re: Stoner Post by: Triple J on November 01, 2014, 12:03:16 PM My guess is HRC likes him to test their bikes because he is faster than their regular test riders, so finds things that they can't. I've read where that can be a problem...GP riders discovering things that the test riders couldn't.

Pretty sure there was a boat load of sarcasm in OT's post.Title: Re: Stoner Post by: duccarlos on November 02, 2014, 05:06:22 PM My guess is HRC likes him to test their bikes because he is faster than their regular test riders, so finds things that they can't. I've read where that can be a problem...GP riders discovering things that the test riders couldn't. He was fast on the under powered bike they sold this year. I'm sure a few of the teams thought that they were going to be competing against the Ducs after those tests.

I'm sure a few of the teams thought that they were going to be competing against the Ducs after those tests. The question is whether the bike he tested was actually what they delivered to the teams, or if Stoner proved t to be too fast so they slowed it down before delivery.

As I recall, the final redux on that was that the lap time deficit of the production bikes was with a test rider on board. Rather than with Stoner on board, which was strongly implied by the statements. Title: Re: Stoner Post by: Needle99 on January 14, 2015, 04:17:06 PM New News that Stoner has signed a new HRC contract

Title: Re: Stoner Post by: lazylightnin717 on January 15, 2015, 06:09:31 AM My Moto GP subscription ran out.
You guys that still have it. Are you able to watch the tests with Stoner? Title: Re: Stoner Post by: Triple J on January 15, 2015, 08:53:57 AM Not that I can find.
Title: Re: Stoner Post by: duccarlos on January 15, 2015, 09:20:01 AM It's an HRC specific test, not one of the official Dorna tests. I wonder if he's still has what it takes to be bat shit fast.

Title: Re: Stoner Post by: OT on January 18, 2015, 06:34:59 AM Test rider is a nice career, for a family man like Casey.
