tyres rossi and some stats

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

When Stoner left Ducati (because they brought Rossi in) and went to Honda, there was a closed door sit down between Honda and Bridgestone, with the Honda head of purchasing present, odd?. Honda told Bridgestone they wanted the same front tyre they had been building for Casey's Ducati championship. Bridgestone said they could not do that. Honda then told Bridgestone they would use Bridgestone across their entire lineup, hence head of purchasing's presence. HONDA got the Stoner tyre, no one else did.
True story.

first off stoner didnt leave ducati because they brought rossi in. stoner left ducati cause the brand screwed him when he was sick and told them they had no money for him then offered more money to lorenzo AFTER stoner won them a championship when his contract was up he went to honda his dream ride from a child as a fan of doohan (another ausi). facts are a terrible thing.
 
Oh yeah Btw I don't care Its the same stuff over and over. I'm not a rossi fanboy but no one should armchair a real champion 9x and try to discredit a guy who is still racing at 38 years old. he's clearly a guy who loves to race. on that alone I'd side with rossi.

the tire thing is markny's broken record and IMO it does not hold water.
If tires were the determining factor Honda would win every race .
The truth is that the team and the rider are the two determining factors that win races. that is why the riders say "we" instead of "I"

If anyone on this forum expected rossi to win races at 38 like he did when he was 25 you should put the crack pipe down and get help.

arm chair nothing rossi doesnt have the tire advantage he wins almost 0 thats what the stats prove
 
You make a great point and I am guilty of participating in the crap. I really like the tech stuff particularly the high end parts/building etc but those posts and guys chatting on that stuff are far and few between so we are relegated to a board that is mostly low tech, general chit chat and the occasional bitch session. I actually wish someone would start a members only section that you actually had to qualify to access. That way the crazy tech, performance and racing groups could interact and the guys that want to talk about blinkers, rim tape and cup holders could do there thing and the guys who wanted to participate in their version of a "housewives" episode could argue all hours of the day. In my own defense, I participate in zero social media, (this is the only chat board I am on) and spend most of my time with medical PhD's, on airplanes and building and riding things. When I reach a state of catatonic dumbfounded stupor, I participate in this ..... Whoopazz, I think has hit the reality check button for me and made me realize that this place could be great but is unfortunately, a source of frustration with little in the way of usable information at least for me. So everyone, its been fun but the more I think about it and the more I look at back at the content that makes up 90% of the posts the more I realize that am contributing to the perpetuation of this .... show and I need to stop. If anyone needs anything technical or parts related shoot me an email. I'm out.

Oh great...another awesome member going away because F*cking retard Mark. :mad::mad::mad:

It's safe to say racing has never been "fair" the best riders/drivers get the best equipment.
The factory's will spend unlimited undisclosed amounts of money to gain an "unfair advantage" and the losers will always snivel about inferior equipment.

If people are leaving this forum because of Mark's posts, good riddance. How mature are we?

If you don't like it, you don't have to:

- Click on it
- Read it
- Respond to it
- React to it


This banter is all for fun entertainment. Don't take it so seriously.

I never said Mark was mature lol. He's entertaining, as is the reaction from some people. That's neither an insult nor a compliment.

But he's the one stringing you along, not the other way around. It's not like you're forced to interact with him. You can ignore his posts altogether and pretend he doesn't exist if you don't like him.

I digress.

that is true and he is ONLY member who is on my Ignore List.

Notice I didnt comment until members that I respect like Endo and Whop commented about leaving the forum, which saddens and angers me since Mark is a dirt.
 
little kats (get my meaning) put people on ignore and then try to make insults to them where they cant respond or claim they dont see what they say.
i will do everything i can on this forum to make young douche miserable. whatever it takes. posting in wrong sections bashing rossi and making his friends quit the forum.

little snowflake

Oh yea BTW I don't care that you don't care...lol Just pointing out a couple issues with your previous comments.

I have no issues with Rossi,his championships and what he's done and given to the sport. I just like me some good racing and love motorcycles and the sport as a whole.

And I just say NO to crack!

For the record I think forums are generally better when less moderated and @mark419ny entertaining himself by trolling everybody is kind of funny. I still have no idea why he spends so much time doing it instead of more interesting stuff like sticking needles in his eyes or watching dwarf porn but that's his game. I try to avoid spending too much time on forums with people I'm not likely to see at the track or locally anyhow but there is a definite reduction in warm fuzzy feeling amongst the users which puts me off spending time here.

its funny you should say that royal. i am willing to bet outside of their own circle on here I probably have met or at least talked on a personal level more people on this forum than anyone.

i recently helped a participant here get tickets to austin. hes from long island nice guy. also a rossi fan and he likes what i write. i will meet him and his son at the race. i can go on and on but i wont.
Royal glad you like the entertainment.

I'll come and see you when I get to work in Europe. lol :D
 
Awww what happened loser419ny? So far this season the only one who needs "special tires" is your idol Marquez. You should look into some "special tires" for yourself maybe they can help you learn how to ride you wannabe.
