I dont think anyone is doubting that Valentino is possibly the more superior rider in terms of racecraft and his ability to defend and attack.

But you have to remember he has more experience of this kind of thing. He was tutored by the likes of Alzamora, Sakata, Ueda in 125's! They were nutters!

And in 250 he was up there with Waldmann, Harada and Loris who were extremely clever and tough riders.

Casey has not had to battle much in GP yet, not for wins anyway. He usually just exploits his advantages and pulls away, much like Pedrosa does.

I dont think either of them are as good as Vale in a fight, especially Dani. Stoner is tough though and kept coming back for more which I enjoyed!

My problem was the lack of imagination, he seemed unable to come up with anything different? Maybe the track or just his only advantage was speed?
