Casey Stoner

thats racing pounf without the possibility of a breakdown or crash i suppose he would have been even shorter than he was.i think it may be much more tricky this year anyway with them having less resourses in the way of engines etc to last the year,i noticed yesterday that valentino was the slowest rider of all on the straight which suggests to me that his bike was perhaps slightly detuned to make sure he gets at least a couple of races out of the engine before it is no use,and if thats the case and he still won it looks like the yamaha is a nice package and with nicky hayden being on the pace the ducati must be ok as well you would think as for the hondas and susuki's it looks like being a long hard year for them imho.
