Casey Stoner Wins 6th Consecutive Home Race Win At The Island.

an incredible way to end a stellar career. shame about that crash at indianapolis. who knows, had it not been for the injury, he could have challenged Lorenzo hard to be world champion again this year.

That we shall never know Max, cos that's in an alternate reality.............

 

[Max Fearlight]

it certainly would have been an interesting three way battle. lets see how he fares on four wheels if he decides to make the switch.

I agree: he was something special on the Ducatis and not too shabby on the Honda. I think it's going to be very interesting watching him in V8's.

 

[Max Fearlight]

he will be a drawcard in V8's, just like Wayne Gardner was back in the 90's.

the focal point in MotoGP will be how Rossi will fare in his return to Yamaha.

Honda offered Stoner 15 million to return back next year.

it would be nice to see him race at Phillip Island as a wildcard entry next year. if it ever happens.

its a shame he is retiring so early. he is still so competitive.

But he also realises it's a 'loaded dice' he was running with: he knows the feeling of tarmac at speed and the fact he's got away with it so far, I'm sure he's a more contented man now, with a beautiful Wife and child and not to mention his 'form' in the past six years.
I'm hoping Valli is going to kick that Majorcans contemptible AS*, just like he used to.........

ya absolutely. sooner or later bikes are gonna bite you big time. i think there comes a time, say after winning three titles, that you need to find a new challenge, or you end up being an accumulator. it all depends though. if the show is good enough, why fix it.

and yes, it would be nice to see VR46 win again. he is a marathon man.

Not to mention a perfomer, both on and off the track.
