MotoGP: Casey Stoner took to the track at Motegi – Video

The two-time world champion is testing the factory RC213V

MotoGP: Casey Stoner took to the track at Motegi – VideoMotoGP: Casey Stoner took to the track at Motegi – Video

Casey Stoner started the two-day test at Motegi today. The Australian rider is riding the Honda RC213V 2015 version and as you can see in the photo it has a fairing in HRC colours.

The Australian rider hasn't been on a MotoGP bike for a year, but according to Shuehi Nakamoto, executive vice-president of HRC, this won't be a big problem for the two-time Top Class world champion.

In this photo you can read the Bridgestone writing on the rear swingarm, but Stoner, in addition to taking to the track with Japanese tyres, should also use the French ones from Michelin, a company that from 2016 will replace the Japanese one as the sole supplier in MotoGP.

In the pits we can glimpse Cristian Gabarrini, who has been following that project since the Open was founded, but who from next year will be the crew chief of the Australian Jack Miller in the LCR Honda Team. He is a coach who has always been linked to Casey Stoner.

Below is the video of the Australian driver's exit from the pits

    At least just try the official...I think Hayden & co wouldn't trust his statements anymore given what he said about the Open!

      Incompetent…..
      First...there are press officers and official press releases, the pilot doesn't go around saying what he likes but what the parent company decides to make known...
      Second... it's impossible to make a comparison during the pre-season tests on a normal test day on a non-tyred track. It's very possible that the two bikes didn't have this big difference, which then comes out when you push the RC to its limits in qualifying configuration on the track. rubberized

        Tony, don't waste time, now they've gone wild for the second place they decided a year ago for their pilot and no one can stop them anymore, we know how things are and we don't know which is better.

      2. Durim said:

        @Tony Oh yeah? I thought that stoner was sincere, someone with balls who always said what he thought..
        Now he goes around telling the things that the parent company (with which he no longer runs) tells him to say.
        I doubt Stoner was only 3 tenths slower with the open, you just need to look at the fact that the open is 20km/h slow on the straight to understand it. So why would Stoner lie?
        Because it's a fake... much more fake than Rossi ever was ;)

        “You dreamed of being a stoner on his island, you woke up and the reality is something completely different, ahahahahh nothing but victory..”

        19 October 2014 Valentino wins at Philip Island for the sixth time in his career!!!…and he brings up the plot to make Rossi win!!!

        Hahaha!!!! Be careful about calling yourself incompetent!!!!

        What are you doing Tony, put your hands forward...? Your post smacks of preventive justifications to me... Don't worry too much. Nakamoto won't make the times known, he'll just say that Stoner lapped very fast even after 2 years of inactivity, being careful not to make the times known, obviously you'll believe it and you will shout about the miracle and the interplanetary phenomenon of the galactic champion, because you are incompetent and gullible... Then next year it will be discovered that (as happened with the open hrc) nakamoto said a huge bullshit just to get his money's worth fools like you have fallen for it.. The return to reality will be sad and inglorious as it has already happened……….

        This is like the joke about the Ducati that someone would fix it in a few minutes, maybe Rossi said that????

    Go great champion!!!
    He saw long and hard about what MotoGF would become, go and have a great time!

    1. Bestlap said:

      I agree with this H.. Stoner took a long view and understood what MotoGP would become.. TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………..

      1. Alex said:

        In fact, he is the one who won the most with the 800 cc and in the period in which he raced together with Scemino Rossi, he beat him on all fronts. Go and see who won the most races, achieved the most podiums, points and poles from 2006 to 2012…. Stoners!

    1. Durim said:

      Those would be whose words? of Fatman interviewed on the issue?? haha
      http://www.moto.it/MotoGP/witteveen-ecco-a-cosa-serve-cambio-seamless.html

      Read this last paragraph instead, how it becomes clear that the much acclaimed world championship in 2007 was solely and exclusively thanks to the tires that Stoner had.

      Add another notch to what..? Who's talking? What period are you referring to? What evidence does it support? Who wrote these pages? Everything is missing what should we believe in hot air...??

      1. H954RR said:

        hello dearest, you know everyone believes what they want, you believe in one way, I believe in another, it doesn't change anyone's life and it's not a mortal sin, I leave this type of "rip" to the others on your side.
        Ah, when you call me an idiot, don't worry, I don't take it out on you, I prefer to take it as a joke, but they can... ahahahahah!
        Hello.

      2. Bestlap said:

        H, I asked you to insert that page into a context that can be understood, put like that you can't understand who wrote it and why... anyway I didn't call you an idiot. If you think I offended you, show me where I don't know...

      3. H954RR said:

        No, don't misunderstand, I'm not offended and I didn't say that you called me an idiot directly, it's just that when you say "the idiots of the blog" since I'm also among those you mention I feel called into question for coherence and bias , but as I told you I don't take it, go to.
        I think I understand how you are made and I don't think you do it maliciously like many others do both here and in other blogs, I hope I have clarified ok?
        Hello.

      4. Durim said:

        BUT you weren't wrong... you're right to feel called into question when the word idiot is mentioned ahahaha Yours is the right feeling ;)

    Let's hope Honda listens carefully to Casey's advice! We will have the factory like this year's open!!!!

  • Durim said:

    Ah look, in this blog there are those who claim that by staying still for 2 years the stoner turns even faster than Marquez haha!

  • LucaR said:

    A rider who at his peak was competing with Pedrosa...if he raced now he would compete with him!!!

  • TONYKART said:

    Come on, let's not joke, today's Honda is going strong because it follows Rossi's instructions when he was in HRC....

    1. Durim said:

      Who knows why Marc managed to win 2 world championships in 2 years in HRC and Stoner didn't. Who knows why Marc made records and records with that bike and Stoner didn't. There is a lot of talk that Stoner missed his second world championship due to injury, but before the injury he had won 3-4 out of 11. In his second year Marc won the first 10 in a row.
      Great stoner rider, but he's just a shadow of Marquez now ;)

      But what the hell are you saying, Honda were going strong light years before he arrived, in case it's Yamaha that went strong as soon as Valentino arrived, bringing most of the HRC technicians with him...
      do you remember?

  • badcomar said:

    I wonder why Honda is so insistent on running Casey with the new prototypes.

    Data in hand

    he won his first world championship in his first year with Ducati, with BrigeStoner, and with a motorbike developed by Loris Capirex.

    And then the void, it may have won many races but still the void.

    He won the second world championship in his first year also on Honda with a bike developed by Pedrosa and Dovizioso...

    And then the emptiness...

    1. Durim said:

      Aside from the fact that a stoner volunteered for these tests, even when inactive he is 10 times better than any tester.

    he says that this year he set the record for trout caught….ahahahahahahah

      yes record yellow fin trout, ahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    then there's Marquez who spins faster than him... shit they make this guy spin... now train the wrist of whoever spins the reel the most... hihihi

    But Tavullians are not those who make people sad with a poor life, losers, rosy, envious, etc., etc. to the antivr who write in the articles of the Tavullia pilot?

    You are the same or worse since you allow yourself to criticize others, right?
    I already forgot, you can insult, take the piss, wish for anything and do what you want but others don't, how could I forget about your rules since it's always been like this.

      They say that Rossi had the merit of making the sport of motorbikes popular, in my opinion he has the merit of having broadcast on the TV channel that broadcasts motorbike races to the scum of the bars and the stadium and this is the result....

        You're absolutely right and it's the same thing I've been saying for a long time, but unfortunately it's really like that.

      But are you really that stupid? But don't you really understand?
      You, for YEARS you have done nothing but criticize Rossi to everyone's image, we do it to you and you get angry? But can't you really understand that my teasing of Casey is just to make you understand what a stupid hypocritical loser you are?!!

      The fact that you took it out on us because we comment negatively on stoners shows how much of a hypocrite you are because you've been doing it for years with Rossi.

      I consider Stoner a great rider, one of the fastest in recent years. His only flaw is having fans like you or tonykart testers and having few fans like stoners. Hi rosicone.. and comment and rejoice for those few times now that a bike site mentions Stoner.. the next time could be 2015 ;)

      1. Bestlap said:

        Well done Durim.. This is exactly what I would have written. H you had a lot of fun throwing shit at the 3 year old and now you resent it if someone takes a bit of stoner kul46..? You who have made an exact science out of the shit in the fan, are now acting like immaculate virgins...?? I would like a bit of coherence.. After all, the fact that coherence is a word unknown to you can also be seen from how you disappear when Rossi achieves good results.. You are really poor in every respect...……!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

  • fastrider said:

    Great Casey, you demoted the doctor to a nurse!!! Thanks for showing us enthusiasts what it means to ride a motorbike to the limit!!! None of the "colleagues" who saw the telemetry data, including the elected representative, can understand how it was possible to do what you did...
    He didn't win two titles out of two on Honda due to the crash on that DM track in Indianapolis...
    He has the record of victories from 2007 to 2012 despite having ridden a Ducati for 4 years. Is there anything else to add?

    1. H954RR said:

      Great, well said!
      NO you don't need to add anything else.

    2. Bestlap said:

      Of course there is a lot more to add... I'll just say one, the record is based mostly on the 2007 victories which were made possible by Bridgestone exclusively, without which there would have been no record or world championship... example…..!!

      1. TONYKART said:

        Did you try to put another tire on stoner's ducati and see that he wasn't winning anymore??? so how can you say this shit?!!!!!!

    the ducati has never been competitive, it was the others that were inferior in power as well as being equipped with other tyres..

    if Bautista was riding the Ducati that year he would have won too....

    he didn't leave a competitive motorbike to anyone but he only left a gate of motorbikes…….

  • Alex said:

    It's full of Valentinian imbeciles, incredible they are everywhere, they don't understand a thing about motorcycling and they live their lives praising Valentino Rossi. However, the numbers do not change over time.

    The answers to these poor exalted people are two facts in particular:

    1) Go and see in the period in which Rossi and Stoner raced together (2006-2012) who won the most races, scored the most points, podiums and poles (with the world championships they are 2 draws in that period which is what counts) and the answer will always be Stoner.

    2) It doesn't seem to me that Stoner no longer won races with the Ducati after 2007, on the contrary (since it is ignominiously said that he only won thanks to the tyres). What did the little doctor do with the Ducati instead? Nothing!!! Absolute nothingness, even Dovizioso is doing better than him in Ducati.

    final reflection: Evidently Rossi is not that great phenomenon that too many glorify, and if talent were measured in world titles (also counting who you race against and what bike you have otherwise it's too easy) he would deserve at most 3 and Stoner at least 4. I repeat, facts, data in hand, not bullshit, whoever says that Rossi has 9 titles and Stoner only 2 and is based only on this is obviously a fool, look at point 1 that I wrote above.

    1. H954RR said:

      GREAT GREAT GREAT Alecx!!!
      Where have you been so far?
      I hope you will be a little more present as there are only a few of us here and a bit of support is needed, but in any case you will see that it will all be useless since they have only one vision and only one fixation.
      Hello.

    2. nandop6 said:

      Remember that before 2006 Rossi already had 7 world titles and from 2006 to 2012 it is true that Stoner won more races but the world championships are 2 to 2 without considering that Rossi in Ducati was unable to compete due to a non-competitive bike not even for Stoner (unless you are convinced that Stoner in 2011 with Ducati and Rossi in Yamaha could win races).
      Stoner in 2011 on Honda (and Rossi on Ducati) won 10 races in 2011 on Ducati (and Rossi on Yamaha) how many would he have won??????
      Do the same in 2012.

  • iamb said:

    Dovizioso is doing more because the bike has changed and there is money from Audi....when there was Rossi they didn't even give him an extra screw.....

    what are we talking about... they can't even make a chassis in a year when Honda (regardless of the workforce behind it) makes 4 and is already testing the 2015 ones...

    they're 3 years behind...

    then when the yamaha was in good shape he even took them as a stoner…..a phenomenon as he can be, but weak mentally, with a little pressure he gives up and loses as it happened…..

    then it is normal for a stoner fan to speak badly of the other and vice versa...

    then I wonder all of you who understand the hell of motorcycling and call others ignorant, doctors who are nothing else, why you are writing here and you are not writing history with the champions around for some championship....

    youporno doesn't work for you this morning...

    all professors…..

    they are just personal opinions of each one, nothing special... don't be a know-it-all.... just opinions...

    1. Alex said:

      Apart from the fact that first of all you should learn to write in Italian, e vero is written with an accent, like this: è.

      OK?

      Well, that being said, talking about Audi money is a really pointless topic. I don't think there was Audi in Stoner's time and Ducati's problems have never been money-related, also because they paid Rossi a good 20 million euros, 20 million down the toilet.

      Saying: when the Yamaha was in good shape, Stoner also got them, what does that mean?

      Overall, the Yamaha was always a much better bike than the Ducati (just look at the average points achieved by the official Yamaha riders and those of the Ducati, where, apart from Stoner, they were miserable).

      The truth is that Ducati has shown Rossi's value. Excellent driver but certainly not a phenomenon like Stoner.

      I remind you that Stoner retired because he hates this MotoGP which is tailor-made for the Spaniards, because he doesn't like the technical regulations (he wants more power and less electronics, look at the slow motion of how he inserts the bike into corners) and because he wants to be with his family.

      There's no point in beating around the bush, reality is engraved in history, 2006-2012 period, Stoner kicks Rossi's ass despite having an overall inferior bike, amen.

      1. Durim said:

        HAhahahah points of view.. Why don't you compare Stoner's first 6 years with Rossi's first 6 years in moto gp? The comparison would be embarrassing..Red and stoner comparisons in the same period..ok, how many world championships did stoner take home and how many reds?? 2 both..and what's the phenomenon about stoner? he won a world championship with the 2007 rubber pads made specifically for ducati and a world championship with the superhonda in 2011...who knows why he has never managed to repeat himself, neither with ducati in 2008 nor with honda in 2012...A strong rider succeeds to repeat, a pilot manages to win thanks to "factors"..hayden managed it once, stoner 2 ;) Then, when you evaluate a pilot you look at his entire career, and not the 6 years which are convenient. .also look at the careers in 125 and 250...of both. There are those who already won in 125, those who never won anything until they had a motorbike with rubbers, once the rubbers disappeared they won less and less...until they switched to a Superhonda. Bye bye rosicone

  • Alex said:

    The correct comparison between two drivers and when they competed on the track in the same period, all other comparisons can leave a thousand doubts. Don't talk about tires made especially for Ducati in 2007, because that's bullshit, maybe you forget the little doctor's complaints about the tyres, when he chose different brand tires for his Yamaha from those of his teammate...

    So, despite every type of support, Rossi won less than Stoner during the comparison period and Yamaha has always been superior to Ducati overall.

    Just look at the average points made by all the official Yamaha and Ducati riders.

    There's no excuses, you know? Your little doctor can put those 9 titles where I say, because of those 9 (some won without opponents) he probably deserves 3 at most. He's just a red media clown, overhyped by the press and the fans, read carefully, fans, not motorcycling enthusiasts.

    His true value was seen in Ducati, he himself said that looking at Stoner's telemetry he didn't understand how Casey managed to make the bike go so fast, but the answer is there: Stoner is the best talent in modern motorcycling, he instead he is a good driver who is too overrated. Game over.

    1. Durim said:

      http://www.moto.it/MotoGP/witteveen-ecco-a-cosa-serve-cambio-seamless.html People who understand this talk about the "exclusivity" of Ducati rubber. Read the last chapter carefully. (if you want I'll find you other sources... it's not difficult).

      Explain it to me, why... in 125, 250 and in the first year of MotoGP Stoner never won anything, then moving from an excellent Honda to a Ducati he won 10 races?
      It is clear that in 2007 Ducati was on par or even superior to Yamaha (just remember the 20 km difference on the straight).
      Then in 2008 Rossi also had the same tires as Stoner and Stoner no longer won as much. Winning less and less...
      Did Rossi win without opponents? why stoner, what opponents did he have?
      I remind you that he won in 2011 with a superior bike, an injured Pedrosa, a Lorenzo on an inferior bike, and a Rossi on an inferior Ducati.
      2012 Stoner took them from Lorenzo and Pedrosa, opponents that Rossi is now destroying with an evenly matched bike.

      PS: The best motorcyclist of the modern era is Marquez.. Stoner is only Marquez's shadow now, no one regrets him, no one wants him anymore.

      1. Alex said:

        If Stoner had the Yamaha in 2007 he still won, if Rossi had the Ducati he didn't win a single race.

        I don't think that Rossi won every world championship after 2007 thanks to the same tire as Stoner.

        Making a comparison with Marquez is useless, they didn't race together, while with Rossi they did and Stoner made Rossi a simple stretcher bearer, not a doctor, he simply broke his ass. And Rossi's true value was seen when he went to Ducati, strange that the bike got so much worse from 2010 to 2011. Rossi himself said that seeing Stoner's telemetry he didn't understand how he could go so fast, but the truth is that Stoner has talent, he doesn't, he's a media phenomenon.

      2. Durim said:

        Keep repeating it many times...convince yourself of what you say ;) You're right.
        Rossi is a media phenomenon and I'm happy to see him race next Sunday. HI :)

  • iamb said:

    oooo…thanks durim, I didn't even want to answer……

    It's not even worth it to some professors who call others ignorant...

    anyway now there is that monster Marquez who is going very fast and even Rossi is there with him battling it out... I don't think that now as in the past he doesn't have and hasn't had any opponents.....

    then saying that he won 9 world cups like this because he screwed up seems excessive to me... and like saying that if he didn't have three balls he was a pinball machine.....

    meanwhile there are, in those years he played them to everyone making us enjoy like no one ever... overtaking and battles are beautiful to see, I'll even give you two drifts with Si.....

    for the rest I am enjoying the MotoGP now, enjoying seeing beautiful battles and this is what amuses me... if you want you can go on YouTube to watch past videos and live in melancholy....

    hello beautiful......

    or on sky 401 they do river monster where there is someone who fishes, maybe the next edition will be with stoner...ahahahaha
