where did you get that idea?!
+1 lol. I don't think Nicky is terribly happy with his situation right now. He has a crew that speaks little to no English, a new bike that he hasn't figured out how to ride ( just like everyone else but Stoner ) and just got tossed down on the ground doing 130mph. At least the only place to go is up!

Man, those guys were so boring and unhappy-lookin' in the post-race interviews. WTF? It's the opening race of the MotoGP season and you're on the podium. Pretend like you like your job and that racing is fun. Ya douchebags.

small correction: WAY UP INTO THE AIR and then down on the ground for about 150ft @ 130mph. i would not say he's in love with the bike so far.

Reading into it :
Vale
: shitting himself, pretending to be proud of first looser position almost
8 seconds back
tires were made for Casey after Bridgestone worked with Ducati for years and years
Jorge
: shitting himself, realizign 3rd place is a
KILOMETER BACK
Casey
: shitting himself with few friends, having won it, crashed it, lost it, climbed back and won a piece... praying, head bowed eyes closed during the national anthem, "hang on to it, hang on to it fk shit fk sht fk shit fk sht..."
Casey needs to market himself better with a little fun. Vale is fun no matter what happens. Everyone loves him for it.

There's no such thing as first
looser
. Maybe first
loser
, but not first
looser
Qatar was made for the Desmosedici. It's a bit ironic, since Qatar seems made for the inline 4's in WSBK while the 1098 F09 struggles a bit there. Casey's dominated this race 3 years running, so the results are no surprise. We'll see how he goes at Motegi.

not so ironic, one is a twin and the other is a 4cyl.

Please tell me you are not suggesting that its the tyre's that gave Stoner the win, or is it the bike, surely it couldn't be that he has skill
When Vale was riding for Michilan they would make a special (one off tyre) over night, fly it to the track by race morning and nothing was ever said about that WTF.
Casey
: shitting himself with few friends, having won it, crashed it, lost it, climbed back and won a piece... praying, head bowed eyes closed during the national anthem, "hang on to it, hang on to it fk shit fk sht fk shit fk sht..."
Casey needs to market himself better with a little fun. Vale is fun no matter what happens. Everyone loves him for it.
Stoner is a racer not a popstar.
For every super hero (Vale) you have to have a villan (Stoner), the press and the public can get F#%ked, the little Aussie is taking it to Vale and some people are just not happy unless Vale wins.

I know...it was more of a comment on Ducati ruling that track in GP and sucking wind there in WSBK. Of course, second place in both races ain't bad...

Stoner gets along with that track very well. The first time he saw it in 2006 he put his Honda on pole.

i'm a fan of them both.. and that's ^^ kinda silly. sure, no one is the showman that valentino is. but casey is generally a nice guy and good with the press. there were a couple key moments last year i thought he could have handled better, but he's no...

Isn't Pedroda a much better villian? Or even Lorenzo (though he is less villanous than I originally thought he'd be)? Man, Max was the best villan. I miss the good ole days.
