Casey Stoner

Where can I find Casey Stoner's crash?

f2001 · 21 Apr 2002, 21:35 (Ref:266795)

what already, give motogp.com a week or two, they normally have highlights of the GP's

anyways Stoners impressed me

Speedworx · 21 Apr 2002, 21:45 (Ref:266809)

He was good, until he lost it over the bumps.

Casey is VERY good.

He is only 16 yrs old.

Someone give Ant West a ride!

Airhead · 22 Apr 2002, 09:14 (Ref:267084)

Yeah

What is Ant doing this season?

Sending a fax to Suzuki saying how about giving someone who'll at least ride the whole race a go.

Casey is a star in the making, 16 and look at him. No experience and he qualified 8th and was second at the first corner. Watch this dude, he has the makings of a champion.

Talking of Suzuki, that was pitiful from Roberts. He's a former World Champion and even though there was problems, a rider of his supposed calibre should at least stay out there and give it a go.

At least Sete went back out to log up the miles.

So who is the best young prospect? one of the spanish kids on 125s? Leon Haslam? John Hopkins? Poggiali?

marcus · 23 Apr 2002, 02:11 (Ref:268019)

would have to be Poggy , he has already proven himself , but there are a few coming through , like casey Stoner , Danny pedrosa and a few others who i cant think of right now.

anyway back to Stoner , this kid is good , I hope he can do well this year , but that was a terrible crash , im amazed he wasnt badly hurt , but im sure it knocked the stuffing out of him

f1manoz · 23 Apr 2002, 03:49 (Ref:268052)

Poggiali is the greatest prospect out of 125cc at the moment. He's already a champion, beating many riders who are much older and have much more experience than him. And his ride in South Africa was faultless.

Out of 250cc, Melandri is the only rider. Rolfo does have talent, but is still getting used to the Honda, and having factory support, while Locatelli still appears to be struggling. No-one else is consistent enough. Melandri will walk it, and should move up next year.

Casey has plenty of potential for a 16 year old, but his confidence would have taken a dent after such a big crash. For the next race he needs a result, even if it's outside the points. A result is a must, then he can build from there.

mac · 23 Apr 2002, 21:56 (Ref:268928)

You're exactly right f1man.

Casey must get the bike to the finish at the next race, no matter where he finishes.

asha · 24 Apr 2002, 03:41 (Ref:269054)

yeah i was hopeing that stoner would slowly fall backwards, and i mean that in a good way. His start was without fault, marco was heading into teh sunset and casey tried to keep up, easy mistake for a youngster.

I doubt he will make it twice

Terrific start to a promising carear! big thumbs up from me.

that was a wild ride by the stonefish! you could see it was going to happen sooner or later cos hes so damned stubborn and brave! I was very relieved to see him get up quickly and walk away (even if he did do an impression of a drunk). he showed real guts blocking the guy behind for three laps i think b4 his spill. Hes going to be a great one to watch....
