| Re: Aussie calls the Italian a whinger! Aint that just like the press to stir the pot.. We did not hear Rossi complain about tyres when Stoner finished behind him after his rear tyre went off. |

| Re: Aussie calls the Italian a whinger! Yeah I wonder with these things.
These guys get asked lots of questions and give just one "interesting" answer and it gets repeated.
Then go to rival and ask "so what do you think of X saying blah"
I did see a comment from Jeremy Burgess (Rossi mechanic) saying the tyres werent the difference so far this season. |

| Re: Aussie calls the Italian a whinger! i will have to say that there definately seemed to be something different between the different tire brands. the top three were all running bridgestones, and there was such a huge gap between all the riders. it was a really odd race with not a single battle for any place. the ama races were much better for whatever reason. i give stoner a lot of credit for having a great year, but i do think michelin has lost it's edge due to the new rule. |

whinger - someone who complains! It is a also a very minor insult.
Im guessing this term isnt used in America (since evil Bills spell checker is telling me its misspelt) |

| Re: Aussie calls the Italian a whinger! We would say, "whine" or "whiner."

| Re: Aussie calls the Italian a whinger! The two best excuses for a loss: tyres and chatter. I am not surprised that one tyre rule in World SBK has turned out well. |
