Why is Casey Stoner such an incomprehensible douchebag?

http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2012/Ston ... aha+switch

Rossi and his guy with the 80 seconds.. thats just the dramatics and gesticulation that is the MotoGP show.. they do it to un nerve lesser rivals, charge up fans and get a buzz going. Casey is just doing the same, belittling the rossi crew and rossi.. stirring up the nest, playing mind games and all that. some truths, some untruths and a whole lot of bollocks.

it's on track that counts. all the pit work is for the win, the rider focuses on the win..

everything else? pffft.

Casey is a cock anyways. A good rider, cant take that away, but a cock. a bit like I used to think of Shakey Byrne.. however ive changed my opinion in recent years..

I think any crew would go into a new garage with some optimism and positivity. I think Stoner is coming across a bit jealous. He's always been one to stick the boot in.

I agree, he's a great rider but honestly i won't miss seeing him on the telly when he retires.

From a rider who is no longer with Ducati..............

I've never much liked Stoner (though I will begrudgingly admit he is an unbelievably good rider - maybe now not quite as good as Lorenzo but very damned good)

That said, he has this one spot on. Forget the 80 seconds but they (Rossi & Burgess) clearly believed it wouldn't take much of their talents to fix it ..... yet a couple of seasons later, we're still waiting with no real signs of the bike getting there or Rossi learning how to ride it.
Egg is thickly plastered on face.

Same on all counts.
