Good race today for Casey Stoner. Despite handing over the championship to Valentino Rossi, something that everyone knew was going to happen, he has been competitive and very combative. I came to think that in a group race as it promised to be, Stoner would be the loser, but what was my surprise when I saw how he got inside in the purest style of Toni Elías and surpassed Dani Pedrosa, who was somewhat hanging.
Leader of the test, he fought with Valentino Rossi, he did not let himself be pressured as (we believe some) in previous races, when the Ducati had serious chances of taking the fight for number one until the end of the season, and only the superiority of Valentino Rossi was able to derail a career in which Casey Stoner will undoubtedly be equally praised by all regardless of the outcome.
The 2007 world champion will miss the number one number in 2009, but I think he will bring out a lot of positives this season. First, that he has been the only real opponent to Valentino Rossi this year. Second, that he has learned the forms of pressure that Valentino is capable of exerting. Third, who has seen how once the pressure is released, he is able to give his rivals a nod.
What happened in Motegi? Well, Valentino Rossi's hunger for victory, to win the World Cup by winning, like the champions, gave the Italian some very fresh tenths, which no one has been able to counteract. But of course Casey Stoner gets a good grade today, a phenomenon.
