Ducati accused of cheating...

Agreed. Anyway, the big breakthrough Nicky Hayden found last week was to turn the traction control way down, so the 800 has more power and slides around like the old 990s.

Is that why.....oh watch this past weekends race.

   He was going quite a bit better than he has all year, so that's nice for him at least.

So it isnt even possible that Rossi could lose the championship because Stoner earned the victory? That seems a tad unfair, especially as a statement made so early in the season.

All things being equal, I'll take Rossi every time.  Stoner is going to earn his championship on the back of a superior bike.   There's nothing wrong with that.

Put Rossi on the Duc, and the end is a forgone conclusion.

I've watched it. Yeah, he binned it, but he was racing at the front and had been consistently fast all weekend. That counts as a major breakthrough in his disastrous season.

Put Rossi on an R1 and let 'im run in WSBK for a bit...Just for laughs, mind you
