MotoGP Historic Battles -- Rossi vs Stoner Laguna Seca 08'

[@sylc7973]

Stoner crashing and still managing to finish 2nd shows how high level both riders were at that year. Fantastic battle.

[@SRChannel-gz6nm]

Ya, jarak dengan pembalap lain sangat jauh, krn rossi dan stoner bersaing ketat mengeluarkn seluruh kemampuanya untuk jadi juara....

[@hackproject8]

[@Utopian_Futures]

Using Bridgestone tires both of them had a massive advantage towards the other riders that used Michelin tires. Due to Stoner winning his 2007 title with Bridgestone tires, Rossi also wanted Bridgestone tires for the 2008 season. Rossi had threatened to leave MotoGP, applying a massive pressure to Dorna-boss Ezepeleta and Bridgestone. Pedrosa and Lorenzo had to use inferior Michelin tires, they were massively handicapped. That is no down-playing of Rossi's and Stoner's exceptional talent but it's a fact.

I remember this so well...the Golden Age of MotoGP...I was on my feet watching this unable to sit down...a really great race. Casey's comments at the end suggesting that the passing was too wild suggests he was taken well out of his comfort zone. Rossi showed no fear, and total commitment, and that is why people all over the planet followed him and wanted him to win. Stoner was so fast that year but he perhaps needed to man up a bit...he looks like a teenager in the interview....but it was the greatest era of motorcycle racing...Valentino Rossi is still the greatest.

[@chanchaniceman]

I think its a race that more or less kinda rattled Casey as he was definitely raced out of his comfort zone. Vale’s overtaking moves granted may look “a little too much” but the man was very much raced all of his ability to take the race to Stoner given how incredibly fast Stoner is.

Casey is a one hell of a rider. Sad that he retired so young

[@jackhammer5468]

Casey Stoner retired because He couldn't handle the stress. He won a championship then he got beat by Rossi, then he got beat by Rossi again. then he got beaten by Lorenzo Pedrosa & Rossi. then he won a championship when Rossi made that disastrous switch to Ducati and never won another one. Casey Stoner did not a championship at the 125cc level or the 250cc level. he won two championships. That's it. When he first moved from the 25cc to the 250cc class he did so badly they sent him back to 125cc for 2 more years. In 12 years at the world championship level, he won Twice. That's not legendary that's nothing more than noteworthy. 33 riders won more championships than Casey stoner. he knew he would struggle to ever win the championship. And if he didn't think you could win he didn't want to race. Completely unprofessional. Take the lows along the highs like a true champion and a true professional like Valentino Rossi. He tried to make a comeback in 2015 racing at the Suzuka 8-hour race. He crashed out with a stuck throttle and never raced again. he lost his nerve. I don't know what he Does now other than being a semi-professional cheap shot artist.

[@nealadams7946]

@Nic B Nick, Jack got a point. Stoner himself admitted that he just couldnt handle the stress. Stoner, only 35, is out of shape. He is not even an athlete anymore. Too much painful issues with him. Stoner just lost his passion and vision for racing. He can't be as Rossi still is (Rossi is much older than him).

Both great champions. How Rossi kept his bike in control on the exit of the corkscrew is testament to his aggressive riding style. Stoner's bike was faster for sure. But i do believe, and will always believe, that Rossi was the penultimate pro at late braking. Rossi will always go down as one of the greatest racers in GP history.

Not sure what you're implying with your comment, but I hope it's not that Stoner is or ever was on the same level as Rossi.

[@samhaokip9126]

Elias Sosa Stoner was a good rider no doubt and we have to give credit where credit is due but you can't be more right about saying that he is nowhere near Valentino. He's one of the people I love not because of the way he looks or even his accent (lol) but just because he's too good at what he does

[@eliassosa9530]

***** Yeah that's what Biaggi said too, then they switched manufacturers. The GP7 Ducati Stoner rode in 2007 was made when restrictions changed, and HE had the fastest bike. As soon as the bike changed in 08, he lost. the GP11/12 that Rossi rode was DRASTICALLY different and sub-par. Rossi won his titles spread out between 2 manufacturers, they can't both be the best bike right? So compare Stoners title wins to just half of Rossi's, pick whichever bike you want, OOPS! Still more wins. Do some research kid, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Stoner is just good. Rossi is the greatest to ever ride.

[@HighFlyingOwlOfMinerva]

+skcineivetsnahtrettebrafsihsubetak That may be because Ducati was good in the years 07 and 08. And really now? Does he need "the best bike" to win?

Quoting this from a guy, so true : Rossi won 46 races in his first 100 GP, Stoner 45 in 176. Rossi 108 first places in 312 races (34,5%), Stoner 45 in 176 (25,5%). Rossi 196 podiums in 312 races (62,8%), Stoner 89 in 176 (50,5%). Stoner 12 seasons: 45 first places, 89 podiums, 2 championships (2 second place, 1 third, 2 fourth, 1 fifth, 2 eighth, 1 twelfth, 1 twenty-eighth ) Rossi in his first 12 seasons: 88 first places, 135 podiums, 7 championships (4 second place, 1 third place). Stoner 7 years in MotoGP, 2 championship (1 second place, 1 third, 2 fourth and 1 eighth). Rossi in his first seven years in MotoGP/500 win 5 championship (2 second place). Stoner in 2012 obtained 78 points less than Pedrosa. Rossi in his first 12 season, never obtained less points than his teammate. Never. Only one time Rossi ranked after his teammate, in 2010 when he broke his leg. & in 2013 when he came back to Yamaha. Rossi is 36 years old, is an official biker of Yamaha Team and is the vice champions of the world. Stoner is a fisher.
