Quoting form a (very) old TV advert....
So, what's your secret champ ??
"It's all in the wrist action"
Just what has Casey Stoner done to turn his game around ?
Last year he couldn't help but fall off, this year he has been on another level to everybody else in the championship. The bright rookie that was Danny Pedrosa, who has been doing quite well under the circumstances, has been pushed to the back as Stoner has out shone him in almost every race.
We all know that there will be races where specific bikes will not be competitive, whether that's down to tyres, set up etc. But he really has taken the bull by the horns and stepped up to the mark.
Maybe it was getting married, maybe it was the new 800cc bike; but while others struggle week in week out, he just quietly gets on with the job of winning.
Whether we will ever see another champion like Valentino is debatable, for years he really has the best there was over the last few years. I think, on this form, Stoner should make World champion, but you never know what may lay ahead. One mistake, one off could lead to weeks off of the bike. But whatever happens, I would like to say "Stand up and take a bow son, well done".
