Stoner fears Pedrosa more than Rossi

This KC is become big headed now. Better be like that because he will have more burden in his shoulder.

I was angry to see this topic in news. But then I think if I were Rossi, I will stay calm. Better like that. Better be the challenger than the challenged. This KC guy become DH now... DH stands for ****head

But other possibility MEDIA is the one to blame. Try to HEAT UP the COMPETITION.

Rossi is the master of mind games and he will see right through this ploy whether its casey ,media or otherwise! dani is going to be a threat ,but not as much as rossi and he knows it!

Yeah that the third possibility...

What KC means by saying that is to cover his own FEAR. FEAR of ROSSI catching up.

he's afraid, and now he try to look brave

Well, Pedrosa was second last year with the same number of DNF's as Vale, maybe it's not that controversial?

I'd have thought realistically every single rider lining up on the grid for a race is worthy to be someone Casey should be worried about....or is the 2008 season just a 2 man race between Stoner & Pedrosa?
What I mean is even if some riders are not capable of winning races they certainly are capable of changing how a race plays out. It's so easy for a bike to go POP and spill oil over the track....right in the race line for the next pursuing rider to go down the track on.....never mind taking out riders at the start of a race & not just the start but practically anywhere on the circuit.

Then again maybe he shouldn't be judging the forthcoming season on last years results.

It's pretty obvious what he's trying to say.

It is also a game of luck.. Every rider has had some kind of luck during the season.. Rain for the rain-experts and so on...
Stoner's brave that he says things like that.. I'll just have to see during the first races. That's when the bikes get up to their optimal and best performances. (And maybe I'm to chickenShhh to guess at this point )

Pedrosa is good.
KC is mistake free.
But Vale is most experienced.

I will stay with vale. I still considered him young for MotoGP. 32 yo would be different. Although 29 is not in prime condition. But experience can balance it.

In 2007, KC is mistake free because he knows he can rely on his bike on straight line. Just open the gas....bye bye vale, pedrosa, etc. While vale is fully rely on turning which heavily rely on tyre...and Michelin was really bad. So KC is mistake free is because he has high confidence. Not that high for 2008. I strongly believe that. Because vale on same tyre. But Bridgestone might hold back to give vale best tyre because vale has same garage as hor-hey. And brigdestone could be afraid their secret recipe might leak into michelin hand inside fiat yamaha garage. That's the only thing worry me. But as long Pedrosa shines with michelin and honda. Automatically Yamaha as Honda's long time rival will shine too. But vale has to prove to be the fastest bridgestone rider beating KC. It will guarantee him to get the best bridgestone tyre among other rider.

Pedrosa. I think this man is Vale real threat. Not KC no. This guy is purely fluke. He come at the right team at the right time. He is fast. He is risk taker. He is stubborn. But his skill not as high as Vale or even Pedrosa. Bridgestone start to shine. Ducati start to look for Capirossi replacement. Ducati is the team which Bridgestone rely on the most I guess. So right team right time. Fluke rider. Shooting star rider. 2 second bright the rest gone sliding out the circuit. I got the feeling he will crash even more than 2007. Maybe less than 2006.


Few numbers different in championship would not be much different to me. It heavily rely on how the scoring system used. But big difference in scoring is serious thing. I guess KC deserve to get 2007 title. But not because he is good. No way. Because he has better package than other rider yes. Tyre + Bike.

KC disappointment and anger towards people in paddock talk INDICATES deep down inside his heart he does not have that confidence. It just blows out when people keep telling bad thing about him. For example, if I think I am good hand drawer and I surely believe that, I would not care whatever people talk about me. Because I knows myself best not anybody else. Anger just a sign of frustration to prove something but people think otherwise. And confidence plays role here.

Maybe it's just his personal thoughts that pedro is the challenger because he's the runner up. I think he got bore by the way people keep linking anything on Vale.

He's the world champ but Valentino is the people champion. He thinks he deserve more credits...not Vale but he doesn't know why people keep on cheering for Vale, so he got jealous.....
and act like a kid. Or, maybe he needs one.
