Stoner and Rossi swapping bikes. Ha ha. Stoner would totally smash the M1 to pieces, he wouldn't know how to handle it in the corners at all. Good bye front end. And unless he's got bridgestone cement under him... Good bye front end.
I love the way the silly prat says how he's spent most of his career on different bikes, instead of actually commenting on the M1 itself, like Rossi did re the ducati. And one can feel Rossi salivating at the chance of having a crack at the desmosedici, whereas KC comes across as reluctantly willing. He's probably worried Valentino would show what it could really do.

I suppose KC won`t be able to control any bike
without such an ammount of electronics
as he has on his Duke!

It`s not him, but his bike winning!

but I agree, KC had trouble with the honda last season so I can't imagine him on the M1...

But I need to know what thread!! I need to know the best place to rant and rave!

I have said this all along, I glad you think the same way as me

Stella46 · 25.10.2007, 23:28

I join you too! It would be great if he and vale switch bikes, see what he's worth thenI can already imagine him whining because he'd be total zero without his duc!

How cool to know we have a real cheer team here!

But I still can`t get rid of feeling being completly unobjective
judging KC in that way... Am I?

MotoGP: Agostini riding the Ducati Desmosedici GP7 critical electronics.
It struck by technical Class

After the exclusive event organized by motorcycle to run on the track at Monza Ducati Desmosedici GP7 Casey Stoner flanked by MV Agusta four-cylinder that won the tournament in 1973 with Phil Read, our writers Paolo Lorenzi interviewed some prominent personalities involved in test. First of all Giacomo Agostini, which tells how the Desmosedici and what are your impressions of a pilot from thirty in the test generational change by fully half the mechanic on which the electronic control.

Agostini said his first impact with the GP7: "Ducati driving differently. Once the man was one with the bike. Now you must take the bike by the horns and buttarla down. Today there are more breaks, but it is the technique that brings you to drive so large gums not allow you to drive in the hull, you have to use the weight of your body to make it turn. Perhaps the MV seems lighter, but the Ducati has a frame most manageable ".
