Rossi Stoner 2007-2008 CURRENT RESULTS with prior year comparison SPOILER

[Ducatiloo]

So, just to change the subject a bit, I read somewhere (SOUP I think) that Pedrobot might have blown a hydraulic broken an ankle in his get-off and was questionable for Laguna.  Anyone read anything further on that?

I was just reading that  Clicky

Seriously Rossi  is as amazing rider, love or hate him.  But he needs to put on his big girl panties and grow up.   Oh bo hoo I didn't win because bla bla bla.  Put up or shut up.

I would like to apologize for this post, I will look for the truth before posting now.  No more National Enq posts from me

LMAO, another Leg Humper.

Take the short bus to this thread to fit in...

Ok, dude, whatever.  In your lust for Stoner you completely missed my point..........

Man, I like everyone's chances the rest of the way...  Stoner, Rossi, Dani, any one of them could win the title and it will likely come down to the last race which is all I could ask for.

+1

This is shaping up to be a good year.  Now all we can hope for are some serious podium battles at the ends of a few of the last races.

After diagnosis of a fractured wrist & finger and sprained ankle -followed by a small arthroscopic procedure- Dani Pedrosa will make a decision on his involvement in the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix shortly.

I don't see how he can afford to sit one out, injured or not.  With Stoner only a few points away and on a serious hot streak and Rossi in his groove, Pedrobot pretty much has to ride Laguna to stay in the chase.  He's never been strong on the brakes, I wonder how a fubared wrist and finger are going to affect him.

P-bot had a hell of a wreck - it didn't look like he was ever going to stop sliding.

Yeah he did.  He and Edwards both went down hard.

well, he did have some help with the stopping part:

Wow, I hadn't seen that.  I don't doubt he broke something hitting that hard and tumbling like he did.

in the replay you can see the exact moment his left hand got broken.  he was sliding ok but then it was the first thing that hit the curbing.  then he went rag doll.

I got your point.  Stoner's wins (all 13 in the last 26 -27 races) are invalid and he still needs to prove his riding ability to you by winning on a different package.   

Rossi has for 2 years now looked to "even" things with Stoner, tires, pace, electronics, etc.  My point was simply that there is a seat open on the Duc team for 2009 and if he wants to truly even things up all he needs to do is take it. 

As far as Stoner needing to go to Yamaha to prove something ...

My wife said the exact same thing when she saw the replay.  He was doing fine until he hit the curbing.....

Go to this vid:

Right about sec 24 he's sliding on his butt, with his left hand leading *and* on the pavement, and he hits the corner of the grass next to the kitty litter.

Surprised it wasn't worse.

Yea as soon as I saw his hand bend like that, I knew it was bad.

Do we need to go through this again and show you all the "respect" that Stoner's has gotten?  If you actually had read any of the threads you said you had, you would know that isn't true at all.

Your sarcasm isn't recognized because you came to the party about 10 months too late and decided to give the horse a few more licks for what reason no one knows.

that about covers it.
