To be more clear:
1-I am a Stoner fan, as well as Hopper. Hayden is cool, but not my favorite. Maybe it is the southern accent. I do find his honesty and humility refreshing compared to most of the other guys out there.
2-I love it how I am a for pointing out when someone who should keep his mouth shut 'cause his rider crashes 40% of the time. He only opens it to stir the pot. Waste of time and lack of class.
3-You seem bound and determined to be objectionary and contrary in this thread. I am sorry if you are a Pedrosa fan. I do think he can ride like a god, but I get tired of hearing from him and his manager how it is the tires, the weather, the team, the bike, anything but him that causes him to fail to produce results. TO deflect this and keep the focus off his failures as a rider they atack their teammate. Weak, unclassy, and childish. Not what our sport needs. Hell, even Alonso sounded more professional in the post race conference today after the Japa GP. Maybe if Pedrosa goes a year or two riding poorly on a team that doesn't win he will come out the other side acting more like a grownup and less like a Formula-BMW teenage baby.
