Rossi: Stoner criticism unrealistic

Valentino Rossi thinks Casey Stoner's criticism that MotoGP should focus only on being a prototype championship is unrealistic - because the economic situation in the world makes that no longer a realistic proposition. After announcing his retirement at the end of this season, Stoner told the media at Le Mans on Thursday that he believed MotoGP was going 'backwards' in considering more production-based regulations . However, although conceding that the field was no longer as competitive at the front as it once was, Rossi said that modern realities meant MotoGP could not simply chase rules without consideration for costs
