Stoner crashing and still managing to finish 2nd shows how high level both riders were at that year. Fantastic battle.
Ya, jarak dengan pembalap lain sangat jauh, krn rossi dan stoner bersaing ketat mengeluarkn seluruh kemampuanya untuk jadi juara....
they had 21 second from 3rd biker
Trik jitu sedikit mengerem😂
Using Bridgestone tires both of them had a massive advantage towards the other riders that used Michelin tires. Due to Stoner winning his 2007 title with Bridgestone tires, Rossi also wanted Bridgestone tires for the 2008 season. Rossi had threatened to leave MotoGP, applying a massive pressure to Dorna-boss Ezepeleta and Bridgestone.
Pedrosa and Lorenzo had to use inferior Michelin tires, they were massively handicapped. That is no down-playing of Rossi's and Stoner's exceptional talent but it's a fact.
Piloti così non c'è ne sono più era una cosa incredibile Valentino rossi ❤
Damn, i remember watching this with my cousin via tv. We had scream everytime either Rossi or Stoner taking a lead. Possibly the Greatest MotoGP match of all time 👏
ugh I can't even begin to explain how amazing it was to attend that race. I would never have expected that type of thing to happen, its such a difficult course to pass on in the first place. Crazy race, top 3 all time
Naw playa.... the 2007 Spanish GP is the greatest match of all time... the final 15 laps were just like this, but with Pedrosa throw into the mix. In fact, I'll link it

Rewatching this after reading about Rossi's retirement. Will surely miss this legend. Retire well our MotoGP GOAT, The Doctor!
MOTO GP IS ROSSI..NO ROSSI NO MOTOGP.......IM READY FOR THE MOVIE
There are more legends on the way. We can see them already, all because of Rossi, and all the other incredible riders. We're so lucky too. I dont think any of us are as lucky as Rossi was, especially recently.
Indeed,
@@garrenluce1984 Sorry but no one rider/person is bigger than their sport. Not Tiger, not Jordan, not Gretzky, not Messner. MotoGP will be just as good as it always was. But of course we all will miss Rossi
@@garrenluce1984 lol
I was in a bar, 10 years old, watching the race with my father. We were both big Rossi fans, actually everyone in that bar was ( We are Italians) but when Stoner went in the gravel everyone got mad and I couldn't understand why. The battle between Rossi and Stoner was so good no one wanted it to end.
When you were 10, your dad was inside. u
The quality of some races transcends any allegiance.. fitting that Stoner still came thru in 2nd
I know!! And such a nonchalant crash too! Stoner just went wide and fell over and suddenly such a great battle was over. Such a shame!
The Man who is responsible of many people being MotoGP fans.
Grazie Vale, we gonna miss you.
Vale v Casey Moaner. Both great riders but only one will live in the hearts of the fans...
He was the one wo made the 46 famous. Forever his number
ah i see you are a man of culture a fellow one piece fan
Kakatwa pala yung tao

Arguably the two greatest talents we saw during this period. Tough racing for sure. What a spectacle!
Not “arguably” but “Most Certainly”

Apa saja yang tetap

😢😢
I remember this so well...the Golden Age of MotoGP...I was on my feet watching this unable to sit down...a really great race. Casey's comments at the end suggesting that the passing was too wild suggests he was taken well out of his comfort zone. Rossi showed no fear, and total commitment, and that is why people all over the planet followed him and wanted him to win. Stoner was so fast that year but he perhaps needed to man up a bit...he looks like a teenager in the interview....but it was the greatest era of motorcycle racing...Valentino Rossi is still the greatest.
I think its a race that more or less kinda rattled Casey as he was definitely raced out of his comfort zone. Vale’s overtaking moves granted may look “a little too much” but the man was very much raced all of his ability to take the race to Stoner given how incredibly fast Stoner is.
If someone runs you off the road is that showing no fear or stupidity or nastiness?
@@egyptology22 if it's Marquez, it is nastiness. If it's Rossi, it's okay.
@@egyptology22 did you even watch when stoner run
off road? I guess not. He went wide all on his own

Just like there was a time when people couldn't imagine Formula 1 race without Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikonen, and Mika Hakinen.

I’m not a racing fan, but this requires no allegiance, this is incredible.
motorcycle racing is so exciting! I don't understand how how nascar has dominated the American psyche into thinking that IT is the pinnacle of motor sports. Ameture road racing and flat track is thrilling to watch. The prize is a plastic trophy and those racers are out there risking life and limb for victory
@Nnaemeka Omeruo i watch MotoGP and F1 and the MotoGP is much more interesting nowadaya
@Nnaemeka Omeruo It is, but the racing is so different that comparing the two doesn't really make much sense. Bikes don't require as much downforce and thus can follow much closer and have crazy battles whereas F1 has a lot more outside factors. That said, if you're looking for exciting open wheel racing I'd check out Indycar.
@@patdohrety2940 contrary to popular belief racing on an oval, with 20 cars practically next to each other and at 350+ is actually pretty hard lol.

Ho avuto l'occasione e l'onore di seguire in diretta televisiva questa indimenticabile battaglia tra Valentino Rossi e Casey Stoner una sfida che ha a reso vincitore il nostro connazionale 🇮🇹✌️
Beh uno guidava la bicicletta, l'altro un cancello. Stoner era superiore in quella gara.
There will be no more epic battle like this again, period. Thank you Vale and Stoner for giving us an epic show!
Rewatching this today ......Valentino is and will remain in the years the legend in MotoGP. Grazie Vale per tutte le domeniche che mi hai fatto divertire e saltare sul divano in questi anni. Sei un mito 🤗
if they swapped bikes, Stoner was winning by a mile!!!
Rossi is now and was then a soak now he cries about MM93.
Rossi migliore pilota di sempre tutti gli altri comparse.
Beating a so talented rival like Stoner is what makes you King. Rossi is one of a kind. The man was born to ride
You should remember how many times stoner defeated Rossi .....
another talented rider passed him in same corner few years later
Rossi ran off the track (took a shortcut) to overtake him, which he did several times in several races, to win. Anyone else would have been black-flagged, today riders are given a 'long lap penalty'. Rossi got away with an awful lot because he was good theatre for the sport, much to the distaste of the other riders. On retirement one of Stoner's comments was 'l don't carry the right passport'.
@@coolhand1964 100% agree rossi is one of the dirtiest racers ive seen in motogp everyone remembers when he kicked marquez off his bike dirty move
@@envyluciid7055 except he never did, by now it's a known fact that he didn't kick him, he just spread the leg because Marquez was laying on Rossi's leg with his bike.
Valentino Rossi literally is the G.O.A.T of MotoGP!
Casey is a one hell of a rider. Sad that he retired so young
Casey Stoner retired because He couldn't handle the stress. He won a championship then he got beat by Rossi, then he got beat by Rossi again. then he got beaten by Lorenzo Pedrosa & Rossi. then he won a championship when Rossi made that disastrous switch to Ducati and never won another one. Casey Stoner did not a championship at the 125cc level or the 250cc level. he won two championships. That's it. When he first moved from the 25cc to the 250cc class he did so badly they sent him back to 125cc for 2 more years. In 12 years at the world championship level, he won Twice. That's not legendary that's nothing more than noteworthy. 33 riders won more championships than Casey stoner. he knew he would struggle to ever win the championship. And if he didn't think you could win he didn't want to race. Completely unprofessional. Take the lows along the highs like a true champion and a true professional like Valentino Rossi. He tried to make a comeback in 2015 racing at the Suzuka 8-hour race. He crashed out with a stuck throttle and never raced again. he lost his nerve. I don't know what he Does now other than being a semi-professional cheap shot artist.
@@jackhammer5468 Stoner retired because he suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A medical issue.
@@jackhammer5468 I'm Italian and a huge Rossi fan. But in my opinion Stoner those years proved to be the most talented rider in history, he used to win every race with a 20'' gap, unfortunately he felt too many times and had physical problems. Otherwise he would have won many races more
@Nic B Nick, Jack got a point. Stoner himself admitted that he just couldnt handle the stress. Stoner, only 35, is out of shape. He is not even an athlete anymore. Too much painful issues with him. Stoner just lost his passion and vision for racing. He can't be as Rossi still is (Rossi is much older than him). The MotoGP consider him to recall him back but they never did even stoner was open for this option. He is out. Gone for good.
@@hiddendragon415 lol, I mean, he's wrong and said some bullshit and it wasn't the nicest comment in particular, but your comment has a complete lack of respect and is only insulting. Nothing else.
Weird to think 2008 was already 7 and a half years ago.

Stoner: That were some of the most aggressive overtakes.
Rossi: I have to stay in front.
th-cam.com/video/L1B6x12_G6g/w-d-xo.html
I just got into motorcycles about 3 years ago and got into MotoGP not long after. Realizing now and seeing that there were no quickshifters back in the day and you had to use the clutch on every shift is mind blowing. Just shows how talented these older riders truly are and their amazing skill level.
Noone has ever driven a Ducati like Stoner. Noone.
Dovizioso is pushing ducati back to glory days...
VFAHSN do you mean ridden
Prabal vasudev yeah but back in the days when the ducatis werent really competetive, stoner dominated, he’s a legend for that 👌🏻
Jorge faced some real badluck in 2018 but everyone can agree that he rode the Ducati like it was meant to be. He's a real talent.
AD is waving at you bro.
This is the most unforgettable race for me.. Sooo competitive and showed Rossi's talent, skill and desire as a racer
In response to "overtaking too agressivley"
Rossi: I have to be in front.
Strange Garage gsc
Strange Garage o8k
Well... Actually makes sense. In a race you have to win, if the only way to win is an aggressive overtake,well... You have to be in front.
The doctor would be competetive on a pedal bike.Anything lacking in a bike,is compensated by brains
and balls.......very big ones.
"Rossi: I have to be in front."
But when Marquez does it to him he cries foul. What a sore loser.
The only guy who could master the Ducat. Most natural and quickest rider I have ever seen. We all miss you, Casey.

Wow one of the greatest battles ever. That move on the corkscrew is something else. The elevation is unreal.
7 years after this video has uploaded.
Still the best Battle of all time in Moto GP history.
I'd say Catalunya 2009.
In that race he just clarified who's the GOAT.
I watched this race live and was absolutly star struck. As crazy as it was though the greatest race ever ran was Catalunya 2009. Those final 3 laps all the way to the end were magic the likes of which may never be seen again. Literally giving me goosebumps typing this
I watched this race in Laguna Seca when Rossi beat Casey Stoner in 2008. Valentino Rossi was so brave during his prime. Casey's Ducati was so LOUD, it literally made the ground rumble! Motogp was so exciting to watch before.
Trying to rewind those times of watching moto gp
A moment you miss rossi displaying death defying stance and the speed he maintain and securing a well calculated defense on every turn makes us missing these for a longtime
Before? MotoGP is still exciting, 2019 was one of the best seasons in terms of racing, actually, these days we have better races than back in the day, have you ever seen any race from back in the day like 2015 Australia? or 2017, or even 2022? I watched the 2008 season and the races weren't that good, it was usually someone running away at the front, what happens to us is called nostalgia, we think things were better when they actually weren't, Australia 2015, 2017, 2022, and Assen 2018 are a lot better than any race back in the day.
Lucky...
@@Maidenintime86 Too many people have their nostalgia glasses super glued to their face...
@@suni08 Yeah that's true, and I hear that in every sport, from motogp to football.
I was there that day sitting in the front straight bleachers between T11 and T1. Seeing Casey go off into the gravel was heart-breaking. Rossi had pure determination and tenacity like no other.
i remember 7 years a go i wake up in 3.00 morning just to watch this race, and i never regret that because the race was so amazing and great....

I started following MotoGP quickly and heavily in 2016. I feel like I caught the end of his domination. What’s not to love about Vale. I still love him to this day. He has a wonderful spirit and captures the hearts of us all.
2008 conversations:
Ducati: Desmo is God. We have the fastest bike on earth.
Stoner: Agree. With me we will win the championship again.
Yamaha: We have lost! Desmo is more more faster than YZR-M1.

YAMAHA is not DEAD! If you CAN find someone to ride a desmo(Ducati) properly,u might have something!
Rossi is the best
Yes he will on Playstation
Am I the only one thinking both were great riders? Rossi is a master of technique and he's almost perfect, but Stoner managed to tame an indomable overpowered Ducati. Rossi has fine skills, Stoner managed to tame the brute force of Ducati. This is coming from an Italian
So true, but either man could have won on either motorcycle given the setup and conditions that day! Great Racing!
Cippa Cation c
what technique to tame the duc? ask the master of technique....valentino rossi
Derry Fadillah Even Rossi fucked up in the ducati. Stoner is talented af
Tom Mulhall stoner had the edge that weekend. If i am not wrong he topped the free practices and the warm ups. Rossi himself that stoner had the edge and it would be really hard to keep up with him. Anyways both riders are my favourites. Rossi will always be number 1 for me but that aussie is an amazing rider.
Rossi V Stoner was a truly epic rivalry they both raced their hearts out on the machinery they had and they also had a lot of respect for each other and this epic race proved that.
I doubt that you will ever see another classic rivalry like this ever again in MotoGP

Stoner was the only pilot who could dominate a Ducati in the last 15 years. Nobody could do the things he did on that bike, not even Rossi.
Stoner won a Championship on that Ducati. Something Rossi couldn’t do.

It's close, but the 2007 Catalunya GP takes that prize, Rossi, Stoner, and Pedrosa in a three way battle with Johnny Hopkins just on their heels, in front of Pedrosa's home crowd. Epic

assen 2018 was much better.
Then you go and watch marques Vs rossi
Valentino has publicly stated this was one of his finest victories. Before the race, no one believed Stoner was beatable.
i remember watching this live on TV and i have yet to see a more exciting race EVER ......
I would rate Catalunya 2009 Rossi Vs Lorenzo above this, slightly.
