There is a piece on Agostini in the recent Road Racing World that had some interesting quotes. In one instance Ago was comparing himself to Hailwood when they both were on the same team. At a test they decided to switch bikes. Ago found Hailwood's bike to be very ill mannered and Hailwood proclaimed that Ago's bike was amazingly well setup and easy to ride. Ago said that Hailwood was never bothered about setup and just rode the wheels off the thing. He then said that perhaps Stoner is like that, and that Rossi is more sensitive to the bike.

The important part to me is that both Agostini and Hailwood were amazing, as are Rossi and Stoner.

As for the spectacle, I just hope that Lorenzo and Stoner are on a similar level this year and that we will see some dicing (ie both on good bikes).
