interceptorrider Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Oh, please race again full time Mr Casey. I have very little interest in the coming season of MotoGP (WSBK yes......due to Nicky). All the debauchery of the the last season's end has created some disinterest for me. The only good guy was....(gasp).....Dani!?!?!? Casey's raw talent, abject determination, and, "oh, hey everybody.....f@#k you! I'm just here to race!" attitude were good to watch....at times. Mostly, I would like to see him stick it up the arses of MM, Jeorge....and Rossi too. Mostly the Spaniards though. I don't think anyone else has the talent to do it. Dani will spoil once in a while, but Casey will be there every race and has little concern for their little.....uh......squabble. Please race Casey. That would be fun.

Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted February 4, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2016 If Casey goes to COTA then I will too! Otherwise it will be WSBK for me this year. Great interview from the Sepang test, check it out. https://youtu.be/fi5yZ_6OS2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer adeyren Posted February 4, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2016 I do hope he comes back. Irish road racing is the real thing. MotoGp is so boring . Needs somebody like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I don't claim to know him well, but I supply Stoner with equipment for one of his favorite hobbies. In the few exchanges I've had with him, I got the impression he will never rejoin the GP circuit full time ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted February 4, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2016 OK so got to ask what's one of his favourite hobbies ? I thought it was part time racing whilst technically retired ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but they've had their butts in the GP15 for a long time and only have to learn the Michelins on it. Casey came off a Bridgestone shod endurance superbike crash and had to learn both the GP15 and Michelins from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted February 5, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 5, 2016 Is it just me but I think Stoner is the best thing I have ever seen "around" the track. Great to have "him" back .....he is great for sport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Stoner's loves are racebikes, fishing and bow hunting. Oh and Adriana and Alessandra I don't see him returning either, he's enjoying his life as it is. I do think (hope!) that he'll race at the Island though. I read an article last night that suggested that Gigi knew exactly what he was doing when he rested Stoner on the second day of the private test, so he’d be strong for the official test. Two main reasons were suggested. One, a fast Stoner should gee up the factory riders to dig a little deeper (the article also implied that Gigi may not have absolute faith that his riders are up to getting the best out of the bike). Two – and this is the big one – a fast Stoner would show the really fast guys that the Ducati is a serious contender… and may tempt them away from their current factory rides when contract time rolls around later this year. And they had to see it now, because Stoner smashing the field at the Island in October would be too late – contracts are signed around July/August. Rumour has it that Ducati has never quite given up on securing Lorenzo. So, there’s now no doubt whatsoever that the Ducati – even the old one! – is a bloody fast racebike, and if Ducati really does want Lorenzo for 2017 they are already on the scoreboard with him… he won’t forget what he saw in Sepang even if the Ducs don’t get within cooee of him between now and contract time.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted February 5, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 5, 2016 I doubt he will come back. Everyone boo'd him away and complained about him in MotoGP. Even when he was doing V8 people made fun of him. Now all of a sudden everyone wants him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted February 5, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 5, 2016 He slagged off the entire sport on his way out. Started pointed fingers at everyone and was incessantly complaining about rules, that his employer at the time, Honda, pushed to implement. So it was quite strange to hear and/or read what was said. He was directing it at DORNA but it was actually Honda at the MSMA table that pushed the things into existence, that he didn't like. I don't care for him at all but would welcome his return. The beotching would be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
