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

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.
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.
@@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
Ah, the good old days, where you could feel the tension, excitement, worry (for your own faves), and adrenaline when you watch it. Such a timeless legendary moment! ✌🏻✨
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.
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 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.
Just like there was a time when people couldn't imagine Formula 1 race without Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikonen, and Mika Hakinen. Even the best of the best will retire eventually and changes will happen.
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 🤗
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 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.

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 🇮🇹✌️
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'.
@@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.

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.
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.
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
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.
@@KEV19019 it's the fact... MotoGP was good when only riders skills were counted..no mechanism..no winglets..no traction control...just rider controlling the bike....btw waiting for 2020 season as well

The engine in that Ducati was on crack! Stoner was way faster per lap than Rossi. Rossi knew he had to overtake him immediately to stop stoner from taking off. Amazing race
Watching this after years after talking to a colleague who is a fan of moto gp. This is the first race which came to mind. Two champs really. Still fresh in my mind. Edit: rossi will be missed for sure. Love Lorenzo, stoner, Marquez, Dovizioso and Quartararo
@@barrysargent1213 Im a Rossi fan, but Stoner was an amazing rider and you can't deny that...He rode amazingly on that beast of a Ducati bike, and probably the only person that tamed it fully back then, Even Rossi was struggling to use the Ducati bike early last decade.
@@zabdn-o8f Dude, I don't denigh Stoner was a very high level rider, ( world champ) but Rossi was... is better. Just stating the obvious really. Certainly on that track on that day, Rossi was braver!
@@barrysargent1213 After what Rossi did when penalized 20 seconds (Coming back to win the race by 20 more seconds) it was clear to me that he just "makes it fun" for every other rider out there. He can dominate any race he's in, he just chooses not to. This being my opinion, of course.
I remember watching this at a hotel, there was basically one small CRT TV for the whole room, but the air of excitement in that room is something else. One guest even took a TV to the bathroom so he could continue watching it
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.
Those two are actually SO good that the battle was only between them....there must have been other racers, behind somewhere, but they were no where to be seen 😅
my bike work very well - Valentino Rossi, Laguna Seca 2008 . . Well, i miss really much when Rossi feel very good with his bike. Especially no rear tire problem like now :)
Indra Buana youre such a noob, how about Stoner on Ducati in 2009 lmao crash after crash. then for Rossi it was built from scratch (why Project manager was fired when audi bought it) anyway this battle was a hammer on his head, Doc always comes back ;)
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. Rossi: Hold my beer!!!!
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 Grazie VR46 🇮🇹 We miss you CS27 🇦🇺
Ini contoh dua pembalap skill tingkat tinggi, tampak dari sisi cara teknik nya penuh dengan ilmu skill bukan kaleng kaleng dan bukan pula seperti markuek 🤣🤣
lolz to me those overtakes by Rossi were signs of genius. The risk he takes and the skills to apply these aggressive overtakes is what I love about him. very clutch
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 Heres the link, it's worth the watch . th-cam.com/video/L4X4yvTHaRM/w-d-xo.html

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.
When I watched this race I was 7 years old , but now in 2020 I remember it like it was yesterday
That's what they all say. I'm glad I live in the new generation with the newer, faster bikes
Wow
@@KEV19019 it's the fact... MotoGP was good when only riders skills were counted..no mechanism..no winglets..no traction control...just rider controlling the bike....btw waiting for 2020 season as well
@@mughdhabg1868 in my opinion Motogp is better nowadays. Fact
Yes bro
The real motoGP
The real race
The real battle
I miss it
Like Rossi misses having a duel with Gibernau, Biaggi, Stoner...
You got it yesterday
@@DrthmN dramatic
The races are still epic to watch. 9 different winners in 2020. Its closes then ever without Marc.
Ο καλύτερος οδηγός μηχανών όλων των εποχών, ο άνθρωπος της βροχής ακόμα και με σπασμένα τα τρία δάκτυλα του χεριού του συνέχισε να οδηγεί, να αγωνίζεται γι αυτό που αγαπούσε. Αυτός και ο σουμαχερ δύο οδηγοί δημιουργικοί.
3:10 damn what a shot
I just realised what happened there. Amazing work by the crew
Like a drone
Jimmy jeep
@@fokjohnpainkiller ikr its a crane shot
The engine in that Ducati was on crack! Stoner was way faster per lap than Rossi. Rossi knew he had to overtake him immediately to stop stoner from taking off. Amazing race

I really love when rossi battle with stoner than battle with marquez.
They're both is legend.
stoner return for ducati team
@@yowtf9929 u sure?
Yeah that true,cause marquez is brutal,i dont like him so much
Sroner fought a prime Lorenzo, competent rossi,pedrosa ,Hayden .but now it's like Marquez vs no one
@@akshay5569 marquez so lucky was born not in rossi era
Watching this after years after talking to a colleague who is a fan of moto gp. This is the first race which came to mind. Two champs really. Still fresh in my mind.
Edit: rossi will be missed for sure. Love Lorenzo, stoner, Marquez, Dovizioso and Quartararo
Casy stoner: Been racing since the age of 4.
Me: 16 and yet to own a bike...
Bought my first at 23, still one of the best decisions i ever made.
Are you in the spyderco group? Lol
11 and is a karting champion.
@@RingRingRingBananaPhone Im 25 do you think Im still on time to own one?
You must be from first world country. Here in South East Asia, the biggest market for MotoGP, Everyone ride a motorcycle since kid.
Damn the difference on the speed of that DUCATI! Rossi just helpless on those straights, but still managed to win it.
Rossi won with his talent and a better cornering bike, not to mention better brakes. Even with a 200cc disadvantage. What a whiner Stoner was.
@@barrysargent1213 Im a Rossi fan, but Stoner was an amazing rider and you can't deny that...He rode amazingly on that beast of a Ducati bike, and probably the only person that tamed it fully back then, Even Rossi was struggling to use the Ducati bike early last decade.
@@zabdn-o8f Dude, I don't denigh Stoner was a very high level rider, ( world champ) but Rossi was... is better. Just stating the obvious really. Certainly on that track on that day, Rossi was braver!
@@barrysargent1213 f of free radicals
@@barrysargent1213 After what Rossi did when penalized 20 seconds (Coming back to win the race by 20 more seconds) it was clear to me that he just "makes it fun" for every other rider out there. He can dominate any race he's in, he just chooses not to. This being my opinion, of course.
The best ever in history of MotoGP
I remember watching this one live, I had NEVER watched a full race but I remember this one because of this battle. This was SUCH A GOOD RACE!!!
*The only Biker who dare to force using Bridgestone while the team doesn't want to*
*And he managed with style*
VR46 Vs Lorenzo : Beautiful Battle
VR46 Vs Stoner : LEGENDARY BATTLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember watching this at a hotel, there was basically one small CRT TV for the whole room, but the air of excitement in that room is something else. One guest even took a TV to the bathroom so he could continue watching it
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.
Those two are actually SO good that the battle was only between them....there must have been other racers, behind somewhere, but they were no where to be seen 😅
That Ducati was stupendously fast in the straight line - but not much else.
ตุ้มผมไม่เคยมี
แฟนครับ
driver skils must ...see another bike in stoner ..
Stoner is the only rider to win a championship on it.
Maybe fast but can’t deny the fact stoner was able to ride the bike and make it competitive along with winning a championship
Really two Great Racing Drivers and Men. Two Pure Talents...Amazing Show!. Thanks Guys!!!.
😍🙏🐱🏣🐶😂🐭🐱🐩

Actually rossi and stoner is rider not driver,
This battle was really memorable, what a race it was
my bike work very well - Valentino Rossi, Laguna Seca 2008
.

Well, i miss really much when Rossi feel very good with his bike. Especially no rear tire problem like now :)
nobody noticed what that guy doing at 1:51?
I noticed 😂🤣😂
Hahahahaha
ha ha ha
lmao
his eating the mic
Most legendary scenes in motogp
i still remember this race. they both are legendary.
Stoner was just mad he got passed 150000 times.
Was a great battle though, props to both racers.

+atomicdeath10 and on the outside...
yep hammer down 2007 was Stoner also in 2008 until this round ...bam
How bout Rossi on Duc? LoL
Indra Buana youre such a noob, how about Stoner on Ducati in 2009 lmao crash after crash. then for Rossi it was built from scratch (why Project manager was fired when audi bought it) anyway this battle was a hammer on his head, Doc always comes back ;)
This race goes down as probably the best in MotoGP history as epic as anything Wayne and Kevin ever did
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.
Rossi: Hold my beer!!!!
And Rossi was "dead" when ride with the fastest bike on earth...
Hond enter the chat
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
I don’t know how many times Iv watched this, but it makes me smile like maniac every time!
Magnificent! Two great riders at maximum adrenaline! MotoGP will be an empty house when Rossi finally retires...
Agree, but after watching Miguel Oliviera in last years Moto 2, and so far this year in GP I think we got a kid to watch here.
age well
I watched this and recorded the whole race and that was random. Lucky and unforgettable. Two of the best to ever ride a MotoGP bike.
Dang it, they need to figure out how to get Laguna back on the calendar. So much fun to watch GP bikes race there...
I get sweaty hands and goosebumps watching this video. Just amazing
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
Grazie VR46 🇮🇹
We miss you CS27 🇦🇺
Best fight ever, this one and his fight with Jorge at Catalunya also with his fight versus Gibernau at Jerez
Stunning performance by The Doctor
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I have been riding bikes for 40 years ... but these guys are from another planet !!!
The Ducati was so fast on the straight line damn
And that Sound holy shit.
And El doctore on his peak was absolutely untouchable.
Great race

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
Heres the link, it's worth the watch .

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.
Rossi has reached the GOAT status. In 20, 30, 40 years people would still remember and talk about him.
I am here after Rossi announced his retirement
Legend
I wish GP would go back to Laguna. I always looked forward to that race.
