Retiring from Moto GP at the end of this season.Says, "With all the changes in Moto GP,it's just not fun anymore"
I think he needs to get his hands on Doohan's Honda
The 500cc era was discussed during this announcement. Basically, back then, you could put last year's bike on the grid and put it on the podium. Now, the OEMs refuse to do it, and often can't because the formula keeps changing. He pretty much called out the OEMs, namely Suzuki on how pathetic it is that they won't field bikes.
He is right. MGP is a ~17 bike grid, about 8-9 of which are CRTs which aren't even close to competitive.
It is basically a Honda vs. Yamaha series. Ducati is a joke.
MotoGP is now officially dead. Fuck it. I'll watch Schwantz vs. Rainey / Roberts vs Sheene replays. The racing was better anyway. The guys had heart and the bikes were satanic.

Kevin Schwantz just put this up on the net, regarding Stoner's retirement.
Quote from: Kevin the fuck Schwantz
"If you're going to quit, just man up and quit. If you don't want to do it any more, then retire. That's your choice. But don't continue to talk trash about a racing series that is the premier two-wheel motorsport in the world, and has a long, long-standing history of great competition, great champions. Tip your hat and walk away from the sport and be graceful about it. Don't talk shit."
And that is why I always say "34 Forever". I love Schwantzy in a non-faggot way.
