This does not cone as a surprize to me. From what I see of Casey's tecnique on the eighthundreds, He should fit into the litre class just fine. He rides loose and rear wheel steers a bike as goon as the best of them. Ben Spies has been on open class equipment much his whole career and said that he believed the reason he was brought into Moto GP was he should be very competitive in 2012 as they head back up the CC scale.
Casey Stoner is showing he is a force to contend with and winners seem to have it easiier the more they win. The ability to show your will at will, will come to the most willing.
I wore a #1 Stoner shirt to work today and had some explaining to do to the paving crew. I told rhem it said Stoner #1 Not #1 Stoner.
I still favor Dovi, something about quiet resolve sits well with me.

What is it with Mika Kallio? How does he keep getting a ride??
