Rossi gives hand signal to Stoner

The master tactician is at it again.

The pre-season mind games between Stoner and Rossi have started to get serious with Rossi getting the upper hand...boom boom.

Not long after the initial tests Stoner talked about his wrist injury causing him problems with pain and discomfort on the bike, but Rossi has hit back, basically accusing Stoner of telling porkies.

We'll see what happens, but we know two things for sure.

1. Rossi knows Stoner is the man to beat, and

2. Rossi knows how to beat his rivals long before the red lights go out.

Bring it on.
