If "muscling" the bike around is all it took, then Nicky would have been winning.

Maybe Stoner wasn't good enough of a racer to convince Ducati to change, but Rossi seems to.

stoner didnt need the ducati changed. he was the only one who could win on it. he wont have to change the honda and should be twice as dangerous since he doesnt have to ride around the front end chatter

He won ONE season. Then Rossi proceeded to whip his ass for the next two and then Lorenzo whipped his ass last year.

Can't argue with that

But this year, Casey appears to be holding the belt

And BTW, not only will I be rooting for Stoner, I'm defending him

Stoner always went fast and scored high on pole. Can't seem to finish the job though.

We shall see, but then even without Lorenzo and Rossi, there's still Pedrosa. And Puig who goes to great length to make sure that Pedrosa is the Honda boy wonder.

Stoner was fast eons ago on the LCR Honda. I think the HRC Honda will see him improve his consistency. He adapted well to the Duc winning races in all the seasons you refer to above. No one else came close.

Now can Rossi adapt himself that well? Or can Preziosi and Burgess tune it to Rossi's style?

never count out Rossi.

Casey will dominate if he cant stay upright. that dude is fast and when his bike is right, nobody will touch him.
