`To stop Stoner, you´d have to shoot him,´ said Rossi when asked by Spanish television channel TVE as to how he could beat the Ducati Marlboro man in Sunday´s race.
Whilst Rossi would probably not be permitted by the FIM to take weaponry onto the grid, he did have another tongue-in-cheek scheme up his sleeve in order to be the quickest on the draw on Sunday; when questioned in the immediate live international press feed as to whether he had a plan for victory over Stoner, the five-time MotoGP World Champion quickly replied:
`Yes. Start 30 seconds earlier than him.´

West in 18th - 3.8sec off pole and 1.2sec slower than the other Kwaka (Hacking) in 17th.
Oh well, theres always the Yamaha Supersport team again if Kawasaki give him the arse before the season finishes. Foret is injured and out for 2 months so Westy could go back there and fill in to get some confidence back.
