I, too, have been following the GP for several yrs and I cant honestly remember anyone ever accusing Rossi of having superior equipment and that's why he's winning.
The way I look at it, Stoner's GP experience is almost mimicking Rossi's, they both had a fair share of crashes in their rookie season and they both took the championship on their second season. So to compare someone who's on his 8th GP yr compared to someone in their 2nd yr is ridiculous.
What Stoner did THIS season is nothing different than what Rossi did in '02....IMO ofcourse......less all the insults tho.
Oh and one last thing, you can say or think whatever you want but Rossi choked in that final round last yr. As much experience as Rossi has, it's never come down to the final round.......even he wasnt used to that kind of pressure.
