I think Stoner's a very talented rider. I view Rossi in a similar way to Alonso. Both guys can extract the absolute maximum from the bike/car and tyres etc - in fact they even outperform the bike's/car's limitations.

BUT IMHO Stoner is more like Button. Very capable indeed - but needs everything to be 'just right' before he can perform to his best standard - but neither Button nor Stoner can extract the maximum when all factors aren't perfect.
