    Yep, I've been looking at his car stuff, not great and he posted its as hectic as bikes, so maybe he'll be back, that'd be great.

    Just seen this, not a fan of stoner as he moans...Rossi wasn't bothered bout the pass Marc made on him on interview in paddock but if stoner comes back think there is to much close racing for him and would moan a lot more

    Laguna Seca 2014:

    Rossi passes Stoner on the dirt at corkscrew whilst Marquez passes them both by bunny hopping the tyre wall

    I like watching riders who want to be there, seeing as its something I can only dream of doing, not ones who walk around with a face like a slapped arse moaning about sponsor commitments and suchlike.

    Sorry.

    ^^^^ What Red said. You could be seeing a girl that's a sexaholic, but if she's a miserable cow out of bed she's no fun and its history.
     
  10. I agree and disagree.... yes its a shame he is a grump.... but when you watch someone with that much talent riding a bike they aren't exactly talking? I like the character in MotoGP but I also watch the racing... for the racing and respect the talent

    Casey Stoner is without a doubt one of the best motorbike riders EVER ... FACT
    And watching him on track is pretty special

    But you would still like to see the skills every now and then :twisted:

    I'm a fan for the racing I don't care about characters or moaning or celebrations etc.

    Lorenzo,Marquez,Rossi,Stoner,Pedrosa,Crutchlow, Redding, Bradl, Eugene Laverty, Johnny Rea I want all these bastards on bikes I don't care what any if them have to say!

    IMHO a rider should always be moaning for more/better/faster.

    Nakamoto San said "Casey woke our engineers up. They had been asleep for two years"

    If you want characters watch Count Arthur Strong 830pm tonight !

    Well said Burndownthediscos! I agree 100%

    This lights a faint hope that he'll come back but I doubt it. I wish he would though. Even with Marquez to entertain I miss watching Stoner ride a motorbike.

    +1 but 9 times out 10 he buggered off and left for a boring race.....am not saying the lad is rubbish he is an amazing talent on a bike the way he slides it and control but don't want a stunt rider want to watch elbow to elbow racing

    I think it will be like Bayliss. He will use the tests to assess if he wants to race again.

    Dean I can't really see Stoner clearing off at the front with Marquez about now.

    Bdtd good point Marc would be a good match with his lay it on its side style and stoners slide could see how that would be something too watch. Will just have to see what develops
     
  19. What a turn around for Moto GP, this time last year it was a bit boring lets admit, now look at it. I'm all for stoner returning as I think there's someone who can run with him now :)
     
  20. I hate to say it but I think even stoner may struggle against Marquez when he's on the form he was at the weekend
