Just watched the BBC version as I watched it on Eurosport the first time. How dismissive of Rossi is Steve Parish??
Started to annoy me. He kept saying "Ah, Casey will pass him and go off into the distance" all the way through. "Looks like Casey's got problems" - problems my ar$e, he was just trying really hard to keep with Rossi.
Do you think Rossi has developed a style to beat Stoner or was it just the circuit that helped out? i.e. not many places the Ducati could us it's power advantage.
Rossi was certainly better on brakes and exiting the corners.

An Italian on an Italian bike would be the dream team for the Ducati diehards. Doubt it'll ever happen though.
Marco Melandri is no slouch (and he's Italian) and his P45 is in the post from Ducati.

The M1 and Duncati have totally different characteristics....
The ducati is the fastest bike in a straight line.
The Yamaha is the best bike in a circle.
I loved the part when Rossi was told that Stoner was getting annoyed with his overtaking through the bends...to which he replied.....ok I won't do that any more only if he stops going past me in the straights!
