MotoGP: Jeremy Burgess “We will miss Stoner. He had a great talent and you could already see it in 2002 when he made his debut”
Valentino Rossi's crew chief uses honeyed words when talking about his compatriot
Jeremy Burgess on MCN he talks about his compatriot Casey Stoner and does so with honeyed words. Although Burgess has always been an opponent of Stoner in all these years, Valentino Rossi's technical chief says that Casey has always been an excellent rider and that he had noticed her talent since 2002, when she made her debut in the 250cc world championship at just 15 years old.
“I think everyone knows that Casey is special and extremely talented with motorbikes – Burgess said – When I think of him, I still think about that fearless little boy I saw coming out of an accident in 2002 in South Africa while riding a 250cc. It was only his second race in the world championship and he was already ahead of everyone and it was already clear that he had talent. No one had ever seen it before but we immediately understood that it could go far. He has won races in all engine sizes and his records speak for themselves. We will miss him, that's for sure.
Many of the things he said about this sport are true. Carrying these bikes is not something for everyone. You have to be among the best in the world to ride them, but now we don't need to transform them into something else than they are today.
Casey and Americans in general come to MotoGP not to become famous but to win and they respect everyone who has achieved that. He has won and has always driven great and we certainly cannot ignore the results that Casey has brought home in recent years"

…respect for everyone….a bit like go-lentino…
it's easy for jeremia to say it now that he's no longer here... too convenient!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and come on, settle for once... if he had said it was a toilet you would have complained anyway...
...this time you're right, good guy...anyway you have to understand diehards like me...they're like bulls, when I see "reds" loaded ah, ah, ah!!!
oh Fatman I gave you a nice green thumb Happy ^!^ ? but he stops drinking, it burns his brain;)
shhh! stop saying sensible things!! it could cause sudden anaphylaxis*! ^_^
*Severe allergic reaction (to sensible things in this case). -_-
Aeneas
he could hihihihihi ^_^
Aeneas
By now there are only about ten ultra users of this forum who have not understood who Stoner is, what he has done, how much talent he has and what hole he leaves...
Even many of his colleagues (Dovi and Crutchlow just to name a couple) define him in another category
…well done, tell Aeneas, he's one of the
10...and he even makes a mistake in writing...thank goodness he's a teetotaler...he only has merits ah, ah, ah!!!
I hope I'm not the only Tavullian in this forum who is sorry for Casey's retirement, that would really be the last straw. You're right Sghembo Casey is in another category but he's not as old as Valentino and I seem to remember an equally strong Rossi 12 13 years ago he made his debut in the top category...
there are no Santi Stoner on Ducati he has been and will always be number one if I were Ducati I would withdraw number One from the reds and also number 27
...chicco, they thumbed your nose...you wrote a pro-stoner post...you shouldn't allow yourself ah, ah, ah!!!
lol ^^
Well, well said... it's a shame that when the Australian lay down with the Ducati you said it was because he didn't know how to develop the bike and didn't put in much effort... then you and the doctor arrived and fixed the bike in 5 minutes ...and the results were visible.
9 out of tune…. he said 9 !!!!!!!!!!
…even, quoting another source, he said in 80 seconds….anyway we are there…the results have been seen!!!
to think that this gentleman (Jeremia) is one of those who said that Casey was slow on purpose in 2010 because he signed with Honda, can't make me speak well of him. then if we think that he is the crew chief of (give me a) HELP ROSSI…..
@fatman. riddle: I wait for the panic to grow... when fear turns into celestial visions I start to switch off. who is'??????
...it's me after a drink....or I think Freddie....he had "slow vision"....legend has it that he was able to imprint sequential images in his mind which he then calmly processed...it was useful, according to him, in the race …it seemed to him that he was going slower than he actually ran…so he always (or almost always) cut off beyond the limit…however I don't know if that's the correct answer….bye!!!
PS Have you been drinking?
@fatman. nooooooooh!!!!!!!!! I didn't expect it from you!!!! it's the great kewin 34!!!! okay come on…. ps: I had been drinking but not much…. It came to mind because a customer of my mechanic has a Suzuki and had this sentence written on the tank.
…I thought about it after I had already written Freddie…but I wasn't sure anyway ah, ah, ah…I still remember his first victory in the wet in Japan…phenomenal!!!
Kevin Schwantz, one of my favourites. How great!!
GOOD CHICCO…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Jeremiah understand it only now?
Luckily, better late than never.
WE GUYS HELLO, I'm in the mood for numbers these days, here's some more and also look what two of the most well-known MotoGP journalists think and say:
Comparison between all the (official only) Ducati riders:
VICTORIES:
Stoner 23 Capirossi 7 Bayliss 1 Rossi 0 Hayden 0 Melandri 0 Gibernau 0 Checa 0
POLE:
Stoner 21 Capirossi 8 Gibernau 1 Rossi 0 Hayden 0 Melandri 0 Bayliss 0 Checa 0
PODIUMS:
Stoner 42 Capirossi 23 Bayliss 5 Haiden 3 Rossi 3 Checa 2 Gibernau 0 Melandri 0
STONER MADE THE DIFFERENCE (by Enrico Borghi and Colin Young)
Casey Stoner accomplished two memorable feats with Ducati and Honda, but what makes history is the way he rode and won with the Desmosedici from 2007 to 2010.
The Australian was the first and so far the only one to win a world title with Ducati, but he is also the one who has won the most, who has won the most podiums and the most pole positions and his gap from the other riders who have Riding a Ducati is impressive.
In 2011 the Australian brought Honda back to its former glory at the first attempt.
The Tokyo company hadn't won a title since 2006, but above all it hadn't assumed a position of strength since 2003, that is, since Rossi left.
So Casey Stoner is unquestionably the rider who made the difference in the last period of MotoGP, i.e. from 2007 to 2012, just as Rossi made the difference in the first period which began in 2002.
Comparing the numbers of these two riders therefore becomes very interesting also because the fact that Stoner has won like no other in the seven years spent in MotoGP clearly emerges.
Stoner won 23 Grands Prix with Ducati, that is, an impressive 74% of the races run with the Desmosedici.
In total Ducati won 31 Grands Prix and apart from the 23 won by Stoner it should be noted that the remaining 8 victories were won by only two riders, Capirossi with 7 victories and Bayliss with one victory.
Stoner boasts an extraordinary percentage even if we consider the poles which are 21 out of the 30 recorded by the sum of all the riders who have ridden a Ducati.
This means an equally formidable 70% of the poles won by Ducati riders in its history.
That is, from 2003 to 2012.
To impress us a little further, it should be noted that the last victory achieved by Ducati in the 2010 Australian GP also belongs to Stoner, that is, more than two years ago.
Once again this shows that Casey has more than anyone else.
GREAT CASEY, YOU WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH!
But not for everyone, it will be easier to win now for others.
@h954r. numbers, for those who think, that make the flesh rise!!!!!!!!!!!!! but only those who understand….and don't worry, they will find a way to blame you!!!
Hi tester, whoever says I'm wrong, take my word for it, is lying to himself, from the data/facts I've written here and before criticizing me is newly sane and someone who doesn't want to accept the reality of things which is very sad trust them.
fatman you are a great admirer of the perseverance you continue to demonstrate and you have all my support and sympathy!
To say that Casey Stoner is “just” a good driver is an understatement.
No one has ever ridden like him (I have been following this sport for 15 years), no one has ever, despite being spectacular at times, been as effective as him... no one has ever literally ridiculed Valentino the Great.
You can invent all the excuses in the world... but with the same bike (Ducati) the comparison was merciless, considering only two years of stay (2007-2008 for Casey; 2011-2012 for Valentino): 16 VICTORIES 0 FOR AUSTRALIAN!!!!!
Valentino was and is the Great (like Alexander the Macedonian)…..but Casey is a Supreme Alien (like Diego Armando Maradona in football).
Let's hope for a great 2013 for MotoGP!!
Well done, well said and welcome!
then there is someone... well done ARTEFAVOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…you've been following the world championship for 15 years…not a few…it's a shame you haven't seen (good for you, you'll be young) Spencer live and Mamola himself with other types of bikes and tires…Roberts who won the world championship on his debut in Europe etc. …the same Doohan who ran without opponents (at least his last years of racing)…well, he drove like Stoner, he used the rear brake a lot and left black marks on the asphalt of every track…in all these years I have seen many phenomena but, normally, the "exploits" of the last one remain in our memory the most... let's be clear, personally I put Casey behind only Spencer for an emotional issue and for the fact that in his time he was truly innovative... everyone his opponents of the past tell it and even Agostini praises his exploits on a private Yamaha at Brands Hatch... he arrived with one of his mechanics/drivers, took the motorbike off the truck, got onto the track and beat it everyone…” who the f@zz@ is that? ” they all asked themselves, Agostini first… the rest is history… this is why I say that it is only a matter of time, perhaps many years… there will be other phenomena… this stupendous sport, like all things, works in cycles… between twenty years, if I'm still there and the liver holds up, I'll maybe see Testoner's son racing and I'll say: "damn, he looks like Casey on the Ducati in 2007..."
@fatman. ahahahahahahah if that's the case I won't just walk around the square naked…. but the whole city tour!!!!!!!! and with a ceres in hand…. and at every bar a negroni!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…look, you have a family…be a good boy ah, ah, ah…anyway this time too it seems like I didn't write f@zz@you…
@fatman.tu never write c@zz@te! I was referring to my son…. think that I have a friend who races in the Italian s-sport championship and his dad (also a great handler) told me that one day in a race as a wild in the European championship he met a rider who was with his son... when they huddle together the hand of this pilot's son says to him: nice Dunlop!!! think how sick we are!!!!!!!!
