New motorcycle ace

[Slax]

Australia has a new motorcycle ace coming up through the ranks of motogp by the name of Stoker. This weekend he put his 125cc bike on pole at Mugello and to think he is only 17. It's good to see another one coming through the ranks because I think McCoy has had it.

Casey Stoner was in the 250's last year, finishing 12th in the championship. A fuggen great effort. The boy can ride.
He has lobbed a plumb ride with a factory Aprillia teaming up Cecchinello this season. A big coup for Stoner and an indication of the esteem the rest of the MotoGP community hold him in.
The 125s are a lot tougher than the 250s from last year and Stoner is 11th at the moment

Also racing this year are:-

250's
Anthony West (currently 9th in the Championship and finished 6th in 2000 before going to the 500's)
MotoGP
Troy Bayliss on a Ducatti - Currently 6th
Garry McCoy and Andrew Pitt on Kwakas - 19th and 24th

And don't worry about Mr Squiggle (McCoy), he is still good enough to win a GP. This is the first year he has got to ride a 4 stroke, except that it's crap. The only hope is that they have a lot of development left in the machines as they are new to GPs.

Stoner was looking the goods last night. Before I fell asleep he was vying for the lead in the top 4-5 until he misjudged the corner and hit the back wheel of the bike infront. He went off the track and ploughed head first into the padded wall.

must say, looking at that shot, was it stoner who hit? Or did he get reamed from behind?



Also watched V. Rossi make one of the best comebacks after a mistake that i have ever seen

West came 2nd last night at Cataluyna.

Anthony West has just won the Dutch 250cc Moto GP.
He's the 1st Aussie to win a 250 race since the late Gregg Hansford in 1978.

he didn't just win it either he won it very comfortably.

Stoner is young and talented but he is a crasher. He went to 125 as they (team) felt that it was better for him in terms of development but he has failed to finish numerous occassion this year - he needs to be more consistent!
