Qatar Review: The answer's in the air
After Casey Stoner's impressive victory for Ducati in the season-opening MotoGP race at Qatar, Toby Moody looks into the air and finds fuel to explain the two reasons behind Italian stable's early advantage over Yamaha
One swallow does not make a summer, but Casey Stoner is now a serious player in MotoGP. He may have been 'Crasher Stoner' in the past, but now he is "being listened to more in the team," he is married and he is at one with his life and his current situation. The guy is a different rider.
He beat Valentino Rossi in a fair and square race at the weekend, and there are not too many riders who can say that. I say 'fair and square' because the 21-year-old Australian managed to withstand the pressure as the number 46 plate harried him for the entire 22-lap race.
