I really think Stoner will be on the up now.
On a side note, I think Stoner might have Grown up!!! He doesnt seem to be bitching like he did last year, he seems to have learnt some humility. Which is good  |
I think he was always going to be strong and it's quite likely that he'll put a run of wins together at some stage this season. What the other Ducatis do is a bit irrelevant really though. Stoner could be front row whether there's another Duc in 8th or they're all at the back, and he usually is.
Rossi is the man to beat though. The competitor. Dani just folded (I know he lacks fitness still) and I think Rossi would have fought tooth and nail had the roles been reversed. I don't think Dani and Stoner have what it takes to beat him if Rossi is ever in with a shout, Jorge might, as may Dovi (and others but they may never have the bike they need to live with the pace) I just hope we see more race-long action. What we need is Rossi to be just off the pace all weekend, but still end up front row somehow, and then get a mega start and be chased all race by Jorge, Dani and Casey.
When it's Rossi catching up it's just a foregone conclusion and usually just one pass and it's over.
Great 250 race-long action too though, 125s were nuts aswell.
