      • Spectacular!


        EDIT:
        Stoner says "Finally arrived at a Factory MotoGP team... and we managed to win the championship the first year in"
        doesn't he mean one year in!?!

        saying "first year in" makes it sound like he won it on the Honda in '06.

        sneaky stoner.

            yup... '06 was on a LCR Honda.

            he was talking bout honda... and motoGP etc... so he kinda made it sound like he won during his first attempt.

              • Pics of LCR Honda??

                All I remember was he was a big-time crasher.(Used to be called Crashy stoner).

                Once he got a pole position(in Qatar I suppose) he wasnt completely happy, he was still complaining

                • Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso against team orders - | Motorcycle Sport | MotoGP News | MotoGP Results | MCN

                  Former factory Ducati rider Stoner said: "I don't really believe in team orders. Maybe you can win a championship with team orders, but to me this really doesn't feel like a championship. I think there's a better way to win. I don't think there should ever really be team orders. It's not football; you're not all on the same team playing for the same thing. We're each our own person. And Andrea still has a very good chance of the championship, so I don't really believe in team orders."


                  Factory Yamaha rider Lorenzo though has a different view and he said team orders should be a part of MotoGP if required at the end of the season.
                  The Spaniard said: "I don't have the same opinion as them, especially at the end of the year. If your team-mate can help you and he is not fighting for the championship, we are a team. Our salary is coming from our brand and our brand has to win. When I won the 250cc championship in 2006 with Alex (Debon) as a partner at Aprilia, he helped a little bit in Valencia. It's a team, not like soccer, but it's a team and your brand is very important."
                  ...some people might agree with this (if teammate is not championship contender -blah blah)...but personally I hate it...

                      Back to Whore-Gay

                      Why's No. 1 only on your bike then, why not both the riders get to display the #1?? (arguable fact Rossi never changes his no. )

                      I thot Casey would agree about the Team orders and Lorenzo would be against this as he likes to fight, but wat a pus*y..

                      Its just mutual understanding between the riders of same team. Like Edwards was trying to help Rossi and Pedrosa to Hayden.(want all the details)
                      Which rider starts the race thinking that he would help his teammate to win the race??

                      Wish these riders atleast get to read what we post


                      OT: It was sucha sad scene by RBR to order Mark Webber. They should just have warned him about taking a risk, or avoid collision. Instead , he was told to keep distance.

                      • @xPolice: Lack of racing even does that to the riders. They start fighting in press conferences , We are mere audience and we too seek different topics when not much to discuss about races
                        Back on topic.

                        2006 was the last of 990s and less electronics and he crashed a lot. Will be interesting to see him in 2012. And also Jorge because he has always been on a 800. Also Dovi, and so on.

                        If Team Order had been there then the notion of "Beat your team mate first" wouldn't be existing.

                        • honda would make themselves look like a bunch of morons if they started bullying Dovi at this stage in the season.

                          if jLo crashes out at Sachsenring (unlikely)...
                          and Dovi finishes on the podium...
                          that would make him 2nd in the championship.

                          anyway... i don't think honda will start with team orders yet.

                          P.S: it was awesome seeing Dovi take Stoner in the last few laps at Mugello.

                          hahaha. n then he did a Simoncelli.
                          or did Simocelli do a Pedrosa.

                          • that was the previous race, estoril 2006.

                            Pedrosa was so confused as what to say, I dont think pedrosa tried to pass, he went too fast into the corner, braked hard,rear wheel came up. then Bam!!

                                I didnt know how to react......... 1st year that Rossi lost his championship. That little crash, rode brilliantly tho. with crooked handlebar broken footpeg
                                .

                                But it was awsome to see Troy Bayliss win that race. He was on a mission i guess. Both those Ducas were flying .

                                Hehe. Too much into flashback I guess...... Laterz
