It was over at Laguna. Stoner never buckled to pressure from Rossi last year, just stayed mistake free and put his head down. Rossi found a way to crack Stoner - it may have been the pass in the dirt on the corkscrew that really set the tone for the balance of the season. Too bad as Stoner's times all weekend at Laguna, Brno and Misano were at the top of the sheets. He claimed he didn't have the grip from the start and he made a mistake with a 3 sec lead. With 22 laps to go he could have managed the race better. I was really looking forward to a better battle down the stretch.... and hoping Casey would come back to repeat. There's always '09, I just hope he stays ahead of Pedrosa, just don't like that kid.
