Clutch Problems for Casey Stoner in Portugal 2007


In what could have been a clinching of the MotoGP world championship on Sunday night in Portugal, merely became a slight delay for Casey Stoner. For the first five laps, Casey Stoner led the race, and pulled down lap times slighter faster than Spaniard Dani Pedrosa and Italy's own Valentino Rossi. After Lap five, Stoner dropped back, letting Rossi and Pedrosa battle it out to the finish, with Stoner taking home third and 17 valuable championship points. What was truly impressive about Stoner's ride, was the fact that he lost engine braking on Lap 5, with a faulty clutch. And after dropping off the pace, the level-headed aussie taught himself to ride the faulty bike, and take new race lines. He was unable to brake as late as his opponents. And a marking of just how truly great he is, is in the fact that in the final laps he even began closing the gap on Rossi and Pedrosa, who were enjoying a tight battle to the line. Next week will see Stoner again attempt to clinch the world championship in Japan.

completely unrelated to your most recent blog movement, but i just wanted to say what the hell is up with those ozzie lesbians who are suing the fertility clinic? "we only wanted 1 baby, but we got 2 and we don't love the second one... the second baby destroyed our relationship..." isn't that some heartless shit? i think it's just that the doctor was a man and well, you know how those lesbians can be, lol.

dude i was going to give you some props for dropping concupiscence, it's like the best word ever. you should have got your whole freaking degree plus a masters for using it. i think if some academic came up to you, and asked for a vocab show-down, you could drop concupiscence and they would be through!!! and if anything else, i now have three tattoos and if i ever decide to get a fourth, it will be concupiscence, as you know i already had it printed out and ready to go, but in c-ville i walked into the tattoo parlour and no-one served me. As for the lesbian thing, dude, i have no idea what your talking about, obviously us aussies are far more enlightened about sexuality , and somehow the american media found out about it and jumped on the story. lol.
--also did you like my motogp report? it was my first time at trying a hand in sports journalism. I think i should have gone into more detail on who rides what bike.
peace, love, unity.
