Quite a lesson ?

This post proves that even an otherwise very intelligent person can sometime write stupid things.

Uh, I find "stupid" a bit harsh in that specific case: when I wrote the comment I didn't know about the mechanical failure. But the considerations on his recent blabbing remain unchanged.

That said, I do agree with your sentence above, at 100%. I guess your intended meaning was to apply it to me, but I have no troubles with that, as I think the sentence applies equally to me, Stoner and ... well, you too

The mechanical failure is just a side-note. The point would stand even in case of rider error: linking a ( horrible ) crash to some previous statement sounds pretty "stupid".
Of course the above statement applies to every intelligent person. "The advantage of being intelligent, is that we can always play stupid, however being the opposite is completely impossible" - Woody Allen.

Well, it depends a bit on the statements. But notice that nobody wished him a crash as a punishment and that the aftermath of the crash is not that bad (relatively to what could have happened).

I would have preferred to see him win the 8hrs and even join in for 1-2 MotoGP races (that would have been fantastic, as i already said at the time of Pedrosa injury).

But I would also have preferred him not saying "Current motogp is shit" or "I'm riding here (at suzuka) very relaxed" (implying that if he wished so, he could destroy anybody else on the track). Maybe it's true, but then it's always better to show it on the track than during interviews.

I think the point is- Stoner had an incredibly bad moment and to use that moment as an example to pick out words he used is "stupid"

If he went on to finish and finished mid pack, you could criticise him for making bold statement if there even was any to begin with. Stoner is very lucky he is healthy after that crash and that is the important thing to realize.

Think about Marco Simoncelli and his aggressive style and people passing judgement upon him

Don't really see how this is related to what I said. I implied no causation relationship between what he said and what happened to him (mechanical fault or not).

Anyway, whatever ... I've heard countless people saying that "Marquez must learn to avoid riding at the limit 100% of the time" or "this will teach Marquez good":  that was a few weeks ago and right after his own crashes. Nobody stood up saying "Hey, this is stupid and bla bla bla".

maybe i am wrong but, dont you wanted to say that arrogant behavior will sometimes strike back with this charma-thing, max?!
or am i totaly wrong with my understanding of this thread?

[HornetMaX]

No, I meant that when one goes out with very bold comments like he does, at the first mistake (*) he risks to have to eat his own words.

MaX.

(*) mistake that, in this specific case, he has not committed as it was a mechanical trouble.

[JJS209]

in my world those two things are very similar to each other

[HornetMaX]

Ah OK then, but I for sure didn't imply that he crashed because of what he said or that he deserved to crash because of what he said (that would have been stupid).

This probably means he won't be taking up any option to rejoin Motogp.

This probably means he won't be taking up any option to rejoin Motogp.

My thought too. Not that it is crystal clear that he ever had the intention at all ...

If he returns to MotoGP to do these things, i want ...

But I would also have preferred him not saying "Current motogp is shit"

It is widely known that I am not a fan of the direction of MotoGP but to say it is S#%! Is certainly not my comment on the championship!

The media comment about me saying MotoGP is "S#%!" was miss quoted, taken out of context. Disappointed to see this.

Yeah, doesn't say what was the context though ... sounds a bit like a "disaster management" exercise ...

This was old news at the time ..... what was the date Casey posted this. ?

It doesnt matter what Casey says...
The stuff what people wanted to post get posted anyway...
an it seems to be on here as well 

Most talented/fastest rider ever...
He has got the best money offer ever, for a motor sports guy (this did not even happen in Formula 1) for a 1 year contract.
And he just said NO  not interested in your Italian/spanish way of moving forward into this MotoGP thing.
We dont read much about that..... WTF he turned 15 Million dollars down for 1 extra year.. 
Hehe much respect for this guy.

And to be honest MotoGP is boring after he left... only 2 guys which go for the win this year  booo
Not my cup of tea anymore
