Capirossi offers Casey advice

Loris Capirossi is the wise old owl of MotoGP, although his comments about Casey Stoner could have come from my Mother who, though limited in MotoGP knowledge, refers to Casey as "that boy who always seems to fall off..."

Damn right mum, damn right.

Anyhoo, Casey is really fast and really talented, but he just does not quite have the mature head required to win, rather than just be fast.

"I think he must be careful in the beginning to understand the bike and its potential, and then we can see exactly the real potential of him. "

Right on Loris, right on. Critical, IMHO opinion, to Casey's long term success will be to find a fluent English speaking mentor. Steve Biddulph wrote that the ideal mentor is someone 10 years your senior, and I fully concur. I have two such men.
