Agreed, I dont really bother with the after race interviews anymore, its either meaningless / contentless PR speak or whinging.

Nice blokes dont win races...

I also don't understand the Stoner hatred. Whilst he's definitely a "unique" character, I don't believe he deserves the amount of grief he gets from MotoGP followers.

If we're going off post race talk, Casey wanted to be able to go faster, Dani Pedrosa basically said that Stoner and Rossi were too fast. This demonstrates to me who's got the real winning mentality, and don't the results show it?

Perhaps Casey's a bit like the rest of us after a hard day at work and wishes his job could be just that bit easier?

I'm not one to give him grief but from my perspective he comes across as a bit of a willy when for instance he has out qualified everyone, won the race yet still finds something to whinge about. It basically saying to all the other riders "I beat you but I could have gone quicker"...doesn't seem very modest and sportsman like to me.

Ok, and?
Don't believe that he's trying to show off by that. Do you say the same when Lorenzo/Rossi/Pedrosa say they had a problem with the bike (which they do)? Let me guess...

And if other riders see it like that... well, they've been outraced by someone who missed 3 races due to illness on a bike which was sliding all over the place.

Guess away...

Rossi's would not have as many fans as he does if he came across as a willy. His usual response in the press conference when he wins iso to say the bike was great, the setting was great, the pace was great, thanks to the team, thanks to Jeremey.

You said in your opening post that you've not been watching the GP for that long so maybe the regularity of complaints/moans, despite when he's been in a winning position, hasn't come to your attention yet.

Not so long means 2 years. If you count the on/off races before that - 5 years. Still don't know what it's all about.

As for the the moans, if a reporter asks him about the race, what is he supposed to say? "yes the bike was great" when we saw it sliding into corners - actually this could work in his favour ..
Just says it like it is.

As for Rossi, well.. you cannot compare anyone to Rossi.

Example:

Rossi - The bike, it was, how you say, not so good, I do the turn (waves hand) and the rear, it spin, so we could not be so fast as Casey today.

Casey - We didn't have the best setup we could, I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't, the rear was sliding. *frowns*

They say the same things, just in a different way.

I've seen the last race and you could see how the rear of the bike was sliding, so he said a few words about it after the race, so now he's a moaner? Every rider complains about something.
Why did he want to be faster? Because it was Rossi behind him, if he'd have a chance to overtake he'd go for it. Stoner simply wanted to build a bigger gap.

As for me, I like the guy, especially the fact that after a break in racing, he can win a race on a bike which no one else can control.

Or is this some sort of Brit/Aussie thing I don't get?
I've been watching it avidly for a good while now, and he ALWAYS moans. He moans when he wins,loses, doesn't race, and has a face like a skelped **** most of the time.

He moaned recently because the crowd somewhere booed him!
