At Brno, Yamaha will have to pay more attention to the scheduled meetings where the rider orders are passed out to keep this from happening again.

He is almost always positive.
As long as things are going well for him, I seem to remember him pissing n moaning quite a bit last season.
He rarely publicly complains and when he does people listen, because he has a point--like about Michelin tires (tough to argue after this last weekend) and his bike at the end of last year. It is not like he is talking out of his butt, he just wants the tools to compete. The only one I can really compare him to, is Nicky Haden. Yeah Rossi is a big nutcase with an odd sense of humour, and Nicky plays it much straighter, but they are both mentally similar in their approach, IMO.
Think about Caseys attitude: passing too tough (waaahhh)
Im confused.......didnt Vale wahhh a few yrs ago when Elias passed him rather aggressively, multiple times during the race IIRC? **see below**
The problem I have with Vale is he doesnt want others to get away with what he has. I dont see Casey's concerns being out of line cuz the bottom line is this, if Vale or someone else making a dangerous pass fvcks up and takes him out, it's his livelyhood at stake. Say what you want about racing and rubbing is racing but I dont know of any org that condones or encourages it. I think Casey took the pussy route for not shaking his hand, if anything, I would had said Vale congrats but always remember....what goes around comes around. I think that would of left Vale more concerned than anything.
, Rossi doesn't deserve B-Stones, etc. When he is winning all is good, but he doesn't handle adversity very well, at least in public. He does come off a bit spoiled.
Who would you want as a role model for your kids? Rossi? Stoner? Hayden? I would be happy with 2 of those 3.

I gotta question, will Valentino Rossi ever be the villian in the eyes of the zillameisters?
Oh well, is the summer break over yet?
Well, I had to find it I was beginning to question my own memory and here's what I found:
Quote:
|
"I'm quite unhappy with Elias today because I think he was quite dangerous - more than once he passed me on the inside and then altered his line. This is not a correct way to race," fumed Rossi.
|
I could be waaay off but does THAT sound familiar???
Rossi blames tyre, slams Elias. | MOTOGP News | Crash.Net
Rossi is heard uttering, "Oh facckkk, isa dis a jerka offa toucha me bika"??

So just out of curiousity who was the bitch this time?
Lemme guess, itsa 'ROSSI' so he gets a pass, right? LOL!

Are you serious? I want to watch some god damned RACING, not the family channel. I hope you're not watching MotoGP to pick up moral cues for your family lol

It's not only in here....Even a few Aussies are sinking the boot into Stoner...
I'm starting to think that even if Rossi was charged and found guilty of multiple acts of sexually molesting children, the Rossi chuckleheads around the world would still be saying, "Ooooh, isn't he sooo clever, simply marvelous and sooo modest also!"....And some claim to have even seen him walking on water.

Where the F did role models come into play?
Rossi is a F'in douhe bag other than the fact he can win championships with everything in his court.
But people will always have opinions which is fine, and thats part of life.
Rossi complains like the best of them when he doesnt win.
I do recall he was bitching about Regis Laconi once and was like who the hell is he? (as he was taken out by him)
In another race he lost the front end and wrecked him out, like he even cared.
Stoner didnt shake his hand, as like so many who deal with him obviously know he is a jack-ass (gifted at that).
Sure would be funnny to watch a full on fight with all the girl racers, as they surely are little bitches, slapping and pulling hair.

Brain cells acting up again....
I remember the race that Rossi's team was accused of....horrors of horrors....by Gibernau's team no less....sweeping his starting box...and Rossi getting punted to the back of the grid.....
Rossi and his team have withstood girly-men before....time to get under the skin of a girly-man Aussie (didn't think that such a critter existed) and see what he is made of.
Rossi leg-humper? Nah....just don't like girly-men.

Rainey, Lawson, Schwantz, Doohan, Sheene......those guys banged bars every race and would sell their own mother to get half a bike length in front of the other guy. I bet Schwantz was laughing his head off watching that show and pointing at Rossi and saying "damn, he rides just like I did".

Well, in my day, I remember when motorcycle racers used to spend many months designing their own bikes and then even more months wandering the streets collecting scrapmetal to cast their own engine parts and they would actually build the bikes on the night before race-day. Practice? Nooo, none of that! Safety? Not much of that either. Helmets? The lucky ones were sometimes able collect old cast iron cooking pots and use these as helmets but the tracks then were not much more than goat tracks, which caused the cast iron 'helmets' to bounce violently up and down on their heads resulting in brain damage to many of them but they always fought hard and with happy smiles right to the finish-line.
After the race, the brain-damaged riders would gather together with their prizes of stale beer and cheerfully beat each other up. Now you tell that to people these days and they wont believe you....

The funny thing is......the only time they really got together was when Stoner tried to pass Rossi going up the hill towards the corkscrew on lap 3 or 4.. Rossi had passed Stoner in turn 6 cleanly, then coming out of 7 Stoner tryed going around the outside and bumped Rossi all the way up the hill...It was Rossi's line and Stoner was trying to take it...yet Stoner seems to forget that....
And Stoner says " I was in the gravel so many times" the only time I say him in the gravel was when he ran into 11 to hot...so WTF?/?

Why does Rossi get away with more shit than the rest? Because he's done more shit on a bike than the rest... simple as that. If you don't like it go undo history or shut the hell up about it.
Rossi is like Jordan.
Jordan never fouled out of a basket ball game in his entire career. How is that possible when he's won defensive player of year? By definition, fouling is a part of defense, and no amount of talent keeps you from fouling six times in a game.
Any way my point is this... if you don't like what Rossi has pulled or gotten away with, ask Stoner to have more personality, more talent, and less sugar in his drawers... so he can not act so much like a little girl.
If want a pass on the shit you pull, be a better ambassador to the sport and win more... otherwise your fooked. Casey can't go back in the past and win 125 or 250 championships... nor can he upgrade the dry and boring personality that he has. Rossi is all the things Stoner can't be or isn't willing to work at... thats life... and thats ok. Everyone can't be king... there's only room for one... and at the moment its Rossi.

How long does it take to grant them forgiveness?
I just linked an article above of Rossi being the 'girly man' after the Turkish GP round in 2006 in regards to Elias' aggressive passing AND altering the race line after doing so.....Im being specific cuz it's exactly what everyones whining about with Casey. So how does that work, if no one acknowledges it it never happen?

LMAO........It was Rossi's line??? Did he buy that line?
Rossi was on the RACE line and he got overtook, to say Stoner bumped him alone is ridiculous since everyones already acknowledged that Rossi's game plan from turn one was to cockblock him the entire race so much so that he overshot the corkscrew on that very same lap. Perspective brother, try it some time.
Also I agree I didnt see the other offtrack or near offtrack incidents if there were any but as spectators we dont exactly have camera coverage on every part of the track either now do we?

Might point j/a Rossi had made a couple clean passes, (with the exception of the corkscrew folly)....and yes it was Rossi's line...when the person in front is on a racing line and you're trying to pass them then its theirs until you take it, but Stoner was bouncing off the side of the Yamy all the way up the hill, this is what started the corkscrew incident...yet Stoner didn't seem to mind that...

Show me where Stoner was bouncing off Rossi "all the way up the hill"?
Some of you ppl will literally make shit up to see things your way.
Time is :59 secs. YouTube - Rossi Vs Stoner Laguna Seca 2008 Battle
Stoner made a clean pass, if Rossi drifted out to close the door that's on him but nowhere have I seen either person mention there was any contact. Also Stoner did not go offtracking to make THAT pass stick now did he? Can Rossi say the same? Uh no.
Im STILL waiting on all the guys calling Stoner a whiner about the dangerous pass, was Rossi a whiner too after the '06 Turkish GP regarding Elias????????

Who gives a sh*t about he said this he said that?! Bottom line is riders shouldnt complain about losing. Be it rossi, stoner, hayden, etc, etc. Cry like a b*tch then go home and knit. Stoner got passed clean. He LOST that that race fair and square. Quit your bitching. Also Stoner has nothing for rossi when it comes to good aggressive riding. We saw that at laguna. All this talk about, "we might see a rossi type move from stoner here pretty soon", my ass. Stoner was trying to play rossis game and lost. And then after seeing he may have a weakness, in which he cant just pin the throttle and overcome, he cries cheating.

For anyone who still thinks the Duc doesnt have a ton more power advantage, check out the video coming on to the straight at 1:35. How can you deny it after seeing that? Oh wait let me guess theres some sorta secret technique rossi was using in which he wasnt full throttle right? Riiiiight. Like mrgrn said, more like casey rides round on the duke when it works and when casey has to work he fails

Have you EVER turned a wheel on a track? Ill answer your question as soon as you answer mine.
And thank you for proving my point by disregarding my '06 Turkish Rossi crying incident.......do you suppose he's knitted a few blankets since then?
