What I surf at work on the site as something has to be done to kill time. I do want to watch tonight uninterrupted and not get to know at work to have a good evening. By not adding spoiler it was ruined. Would be if I did not watch it already but for some it was.

It is considered good internet/forum ettiquette to place spoiler in the title when discussing the race results - it's got nothing to do with anyones nationality because I'm Australian as well.

Most race forums have a sticky post in them saying exactly that. Why people whinge at people pointing this out to them is something I don't understand. Why ruin someone else's enjoyment of a race when simply putting spoiler in the title allows those who have seen the race to discuss it and those who haven't seen it to avoid that particular thread? Surely it makes sense to be more polite and inclusive.

People obviously do not learn. If you don't want to know the result of a motorcycle race, don't go surfing on a motorcyle web forum.

Hear Hear! The rest of the world doesn't stop cos some people can't fit the racing into their oh so busy lives. If you are passionate enough about it to moan so much then watch it live or avoid where you may learn the result.

CASEY NATIONAL TREASURE.......
Should be buried then.

For info...my folks are all ozzies, Love the Troy's, and Im so glad my favourite bike manufacturer is doing so well. I just wish someone else was riding that duke...and succeeding.
Guess I don't like the guy.

well i am english (even if i am from the north!

) and i think casey stoner is marvellous

i really enjoyed the Donington GP (was gutted for Toseland tho) and i really enjoyed the Assen GP. he had a rotten start to the year but it seems to be going well for him and i really respect people that put their heart and soul into their racing.

he looks rather too like Damien from Home and Away for my liking but hey ho i'm sure it isnt his fault. i saw him at Goodwood i think the year before last and he looks younger than i do and most people think i'm about 12!!

putting "spoiler" into a title isnt a big deal, come on guys play nice

Pedrosa campeon del mundo 2008

**Hereford_duke** · 06 Jul 08, 08:56 PM

Have to say this year will be very interesting indeed........................
A few tracks yet to do and one bin out can affect your chances as Jorge has found out, certainly Pedrosa has proved his worth this year and is right up there with the big boys of Moto GP, Well done JT for 8Th so far, i still think we have more to see yet.

Stoner is a really good racer, no doubt about that. In fact all the Moto GP riders are excellent racers who are going as quick and fast as the rubber will allow, so to speak.

Stoner won last year and he deserved it however, there is all this talk about who is the better rider, Rossi, Stoner or whoever? Im a Rossi fan because he is such a talented racer. End of!

But Im no Stoner hater. As I have stated, he is a freaking excellent racer.

BUT,

For me, when Stoner has won several Moto GP championships and then jumped onto another make or race bike such as a Yamaha etc, then wins the championship on that, he will be thought of as an equal racer to Rossi. Well, by me anyhow. Not that my opinion counts for much.

I mean, put both of em on a 500 v4 2 stroke each and see who stays on and who gets chucked off???

Hee hee
