I don't usually comment on the "who is better" stuff for one I don't have the analytical capability to dissect a question that has way too many variables to answer unless you want to look at numbers only and call it a day and two I do not follow or favor any particular rider. On the psychological side of things I would give it MM and I would give him a nod on the physiological side as well. That battle at laguna between VR and Stoner left a lasting impression on me with regard to Stoners fragility. As close as that race was that day, Stoner was visually abused. I think if it came to banging elbows and aggressive riding that Stoner would not fair as well as MM. Stoner seemed to let a lot of things bother him and linger and MM is one of those guys who can make that a problem for sure. Both huge talents.
