I really dont like stoner but theres no denying he has talent.
The Ducati is a dog and he's the only one who can ride it..
hell stick melandri on and underfunded underdevoled kwaker and he does better than on the ducati.
Like Hayden you dont get to be world champion just because Valentino fell off more often than you did or cos the M1 broke ore often than your bike
I agree the medical xplanation seems a bit weak but i have a nagging feeling that there could be something far worse wrong with Mr Stoner.
Maybe Adriana is a sucubus. Or a Vampire

I worry that he could have something seriously wrong with him. It's a shame that he's been stricken ill like this during a season when he could be so competitive.

do any of you guys remember when slight had his medical issue?
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/medupdate.html
Castrol Honda's Aaron Slight will undergo surgery on Friday in Sydney, Australia to stop the bleeding from a burst blood vessel in his brain.
Slight, 34, from Masterton, New Zealand was diagnosed as having an 'arteriovenous malformation' - also known as AVM - following a brain scan on Wednesday.
"Aaron has been suffering for a long time with the symptoms of what has now been diagnosed as AVM. For example, he has suffered from a lack of focus in his vision and from a low level of concentration."
this guy was piloting a world superbike honda (colin's teammate) without being able to see clearly! scary shit.

Now that he can't pull a 30 second lead, the other manufacturers caught up with developing their machines and his competition on the same tires. It scares the crap out of him. Stoner is not a racer, give him a clear track he will run away, give him competition he crumbles.

These conversations are so constructive, I'm going to avoid entering a Stoner thread from now on. He's ridden around one of the (allegedly) worst bikes on the grid. He's been fighting with confirmed illness for months, he's still on the podium, he's 22 and a ex-world champion and all most of you guys can say is "man up". The sum of the commentary is "go race against one of the greatest if not the greatest motorcycle racer of all time when you can't maintain energy levels throughout a race and if you don't, you're a pussy".
You guys really are myopic.

Stoner is not a racer.
Now that's just crazy talk. He is a former MotoGP world champion, and has been racing 125s, 250s and GP bikes for nearly the last decade. Last year, Livio Suppo said that when contract time came up, he'd take Stoner over Rossi.
BTW, how has this thread not degenerated into a buncha pictures of Adriana? You guys are letting me down.

This was disingenuous on Suppo's part, since he couldn't have Rossi, anyway.
FWIW, anyone (besides Derby) remember Jay Springsteen -- another case of stress causing a debilitating, long-term illness for a HOF rider?
We'll know it's stress for Casey when his hair starts to fall out and he gets shingles and rashes......

I don't think Rossi could ride that bike either.
Its the Stone man's bike, period.
For the record, I'm not hating on Stoner's ability to ride or his skill, but I do think rich athletes sometimes dog it when they could probably go. We see it across all sports. Some play through pain, sickness, etc...... and well, some sit. My issue is that there has been nothing conclusive about Stoner's health tbh. The anemia was blown out of proportion and half of you would probably test the same as Stoner. What we're down to is a theory about a virus and other than that, nothing. Stoner already gutted through the worst of it, so its a little late to sit imo. I truly believe that since he fubared Donington, he's tossing in the towel, and I don't like that attitude. Rossi almost caught Hayden in 06' despite facing a big gap. Never give up. Who knows, Rossi and Lorenzo might Pedroize each other a few times during hard scraps and bam, you're back in the hunt.

sounds like you know things that no one else does about his situation. i mean, certainly you aren't making these assessments based on what's in the media. what else can you tell us?

Well considering that he himself has said over the last month that he's been in better shape week by week, I'll take it from Stoner himself. I'm tellin yah, Donington made this decision easy for him. Not going to win the title anyway, so why not just kick it back and recharge for next year.

Always goes 1 of 2 ways when it's a stoner thread, this one went the bashing way instead.
I think a lot of the comments in this thread just make no sense and it's hard to take seriously. Like this one. I can only guess your joking or lets say "other" to remain polite. With this logic it's a miracle all those other guys who won't title bother trying.

They released what is wrong with Stoner today. Its a combination of his wrist not working properly, arm pump, mystery stomach cramps, vomiting, fatigue, psychological problems, sabotaged forks, top speed advantage gone, jorge is the new hot shit and I'm not syndrome, and a severe case of can't stand the heat when you are unable to clear off from the pack disease. I'm sure his wife is on the rag for good measure.
If there wasn't something wrong with Stoner, I'm not sure I'd recognize him.

I didn't say anything against his skill or ability to ride man. Dude is fast, he's just never seemed to have a stretch where something wasn't moaned upon. Not being the best fighter doesn't mean he isn't insanely talented. Pedrosa is in the same boat.
