As for his fans, I can only speak for myself and I'm smiling as long as moto gp is on and there is a good battle, regardless of who wins...

Think people who booed him at the Health for Riders event are out of order. These Riders dont have to give up there own time so its brill that they do. What Casey Stoner should do is look at all the decent supporters who applauded him when he did win and ignore the minority. Anyway Assen looks like it could be a good un.

I am sure that all the Brits wanted James Toseland to win but that was not to be and on the day the best rider won hands down. Casey Stoner is a phenomenal talent and should really take no noticed of the minority of idiots booing him. The best response is to go ahead and win races. Best of luck for the rest of the season Casey.

Suzi400 (U12578475) posted Jul 5, 2008 i was at donington and i agree it is not really fair to be booing one of the racers but to be honest i dont think casey does himself any favours - he comes across as someone who has no personality to me, yes he can ride the ducati like no one else adn he rides darn well, but what about personality?? i like a rider who can ride adn has personality, as a matter of fact i like riders who do less well but have more personality - riders who can have a laugh, a joke, smile and wave at camera even if they are losing, riders with more than "one dimension", its not just about riding well its about having the whole package, bayliss is ace, melandri is ace, corser is ace, guy martin is ace, Vale is amazing and so to me i think the reason unfortunately that people dont like casey is not because he rides so well but because there is nothing else to him except riding and that is boring unfortunately dani pedrosa seems to have the same personality - boring!!
