Stoner, Webber and Whincup will compete at the Top Gear Festival Sydney
The two-time world champion will be riding a CBR100RR
The Top Gear Festival Sydney (9-10 March 2013) will see three great Australian champions in action this year. We are talking about Formula 1 driver Mark Webber, Jamie Whincup (four-time champion of the International V8 Supercars Championship) and two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner.
The latter will be riding a Honda CBR 1000RR and will compete with Mark Webber who will be aboard his Red Bull F1 and Jamie Whincup with the new V8 Supercars on the Eastern Creek circuit, renamed Sydney Motorsport Park in the competition called “Australian Speed Showdown”. Murray Hodge, managing director of the Top Gear Festival told Fox Sports “The race promises to be a great spectacle, having these three Australian lads is a promoter's dream.”
In the challenge Webber will start thirty seconds behind Stoner, in fact it was calculated that the bike is 15 seconds slower per lap. This may be the last chance to see Stoner on a motorbike; in fact, we remind you that the Australian champion will make his debut in the Dunlop Series of the V8 Supercars Championship in Adelaide on February 28th.

“…This could be the last chance to see Stoner riding a motorbike..” and enough of this story…webber wins easily..
But it's true that Webber wins easily, go and see the video on YouTube shot a few years ago by Honda, F1 vs motorbikes vs those sorts of boats that race on rough water.

In my opinion, little changes and the F1s brake much better than the bikes, even the MotoGP bikes.
You may not like it, but if you don't understand that a motorbike brakes much worse than a car, it means that you don't understand physics :-)
What a damn competition... :/
