Yeah I reckon that's true, thus my Xbox comments. You gotta be able to work with the technology and manipulate it. He reportedly had the TC turned down, but he manipulated it and exploited it. That takes a lot of feel or kinesthsetic (spelling) perception, which I think made up for the lack of feel on the Ducati. It reminds me of MM, and their styles are most similar imo. MM is just more of a killer.  |

HRC definitely have their succession plans in place... They are pinning their hopes on Miller, and then Alex Marquez. Miller already showed he can be fast by getting to 11th. He just needs to learn patience and a little more control. The next race will be interesting. Certainly looking to see where he is relative to Nicky. Maybe Stoner to Suzuki (once they get the power deficit solved).... They seem to have a good handling chassis. Or Aprilia, if the jump the power up |

With Stoner making a return to two-wheeled competition at Suzuka (which makes me happy - I've always loved watching what he can do on a bike), it seems a mighty odd coincidence that Rossi starts floating (and rejecting) the idea that he & Lorenzo just might show up with the M1* and spoil everybody's fun.
*I'd hazard a guess that the demands of MotoGP and endurance racing - not to mention the Dorna engine allotment & testing restrictions, yada yada yada - are so radically different that the M1 would make a pretty poor choice for Suzuka...

And he was responding to a question about rumors. Nothing to do with Stoner.

They have to play the happy teammate card. When Vale returned to Yamaha, they plainly said that Jorghey was the #1 rider. That is probably not the case today.

Can't say I'm surprised. Something to be said about dreaming big. |
