Sport without passion just isn't the same, bring on the tanties I say! Sports need people like that and actuallly encourage it, they have to give every little bit of themselves to be the absolute best in the world at what they do, then the armchair critics come along and say they can't get passionate about it when someone stuffs it up for them through their inability or a lapse of concentration - fark that I say.

McEnroe in the tennis AWESOME! McGrath slagging out the poms AWESOME! That aussie rider topping the other bloke in the MOTO2 AWESOME!

Stoner is honest, most talented racer, and has hot wife. Rossi is just lucky that he had good bikes all these year. And a homo friend.

I don't think Casey whinges any more or less than the others. But when he has a bit to say, NOTHING is lost in the translation. Have you ever noticed how much longer the riders speak in their own launguage during the briefings?

But while we're at it We'll rattle off some whinges and we'll see what champs don't make it. Pleas add toi list if you like.

Peter Brock
Dick Johnson
Wayne Gardener
Jim Richards
Colin Bond
Greg Murphy
Ant West
Ant Gohbert
Prost
Schuemacher

Nah bugger it. That's depressing. Not many left. Mick D, Lowndesy, and thats about it.

You can always watch it with the sound off?

No Not tall poppies I am a fan of many Aussie sports stars ( accordingto the press I am the only fan in the country of Michael Clarke). And yes Jorge had a big dummy spit too.

Yes finally some one else agrees. Rossi has been on the best bike and with no competition for around 15 years now. Even in the 125 and 250's. How great was that Yamahha before he got on it? How quickly did the Honda go backwards after he left?
Racing must have been boring as before Casey came along. Yes Casey is a very exceptionally talented rider but how can you claim someone who has dominated for so long be just lucky?
If Rossi wanted to only win championships with out a challange he would still be on a Reposl Honda.

Ok, I'm a Rossi fan, but I think the point was that Rossi was lucky/good enough to be offered the best bikes. Don't forget that he virtually stepped onto Micks NSR with JB. And then remember that JB at the time had won 7 of the last 10 titles. Maybe he was lucky to hook up with with JB rather than any particular bike.

Its also interesting that the rest of the Duke boys are getting similar results to last year, except for the Top ducati rider. Even JB claims to have their work cut out.

After Rossi's very first ride on the M1, he readily admitted it was nowhere near as bad a bike as they thought, just way too adjustable and that made it very easy to get lost in set up. Maybe a reflection of Biaggi's crew at the time.

And the Repsol bike never really went away. Remember Hayden won the title post Rossi, then Rossi got comfortable on the M1, Stoner was on the bridgestone shod Duke, and then Lrenzo turned up. Remove those three freaks (aliens) from the equation, the Honda was probably the bike to be on. A fact supported by Hayden's title.

Also, we've never seem Rossi ride with a real injury till this year, and we've never seen him ride a pig. -Until now. Don't foget that Casey won the last round last year on the same bike that qualified 7 this week.

But we could go on for hours. That's just my two cents worth. And i love the debate

Bring on Barcelona.

OK, my opinion.

Its serious business for Stoner hes not there to make friends just win races, and if something upsets him he will complain and so he fucking should this is his job. The squeeky wheel gets oiled first . Not to mention he is a top rider and has a very hot wife.

Rossi is a freak plus he has a personallity. He has been bagged for his riding style before and will again but this is racing not Tiddly Winks. Did his ambition outweigh his talent in that corner? Well clearly it did he ended up on his arse and unfortunatly took out Stoner and as explained above Stoners job= race wins, so he was pissed a Rossi, fair enough.

Jorge, great rider, very clinical and quite frankly boring to watch, but consistant.

Simmacantspellhisname, i like him and his style, however he must be full of humble pie. But i think he doesnt care and if injury doesnt get him he will be a world champ in years to come.

Pedarosa, poor sad little man. Always so depressed, i think a good root is in order.

My sister's BF always refers to him as Sideshow Bob. I like this so thought that I would share this with you all

I like his mad hair.

It goes Simoncelii. Marco from memory. Side show Bob was my little brother's nickname in his teens. You can't have that one Mel. Well, you can, but it's not right......

Baring a serious injury, I see him as a threat this year and a strong chance next, of taking the title. He is talented.

From what I saw that's what I thought too
