MotoGP: Casey Stoner “Over the weekend I was in Abu Dhabi to see F1 and V8 Supercars”
The Australian rider is preparing to compete in his last race in MotoGP
Casey Stoner will compete in his last MotoGP race in Valencia. The Australian driver, fresh from his sixth consecutive victory in "his" Phillip Island, "passed" through Abu Dhabi on his return trip to Europe, thus managing to see both Formula 1 and the V8 Supercars, a formula in which it could race in the near future. Here is what he declared through his blog on the Repsol website.
“It was a good week at Phillip Island. We left Cowes and headed towards Melbourne and I spent a couple of days fishing with our friends Paolo and Cristy from iFish, it was nice to relax a bit and spend a few hours outdoors before hitting the road again! We decided to fly via Abu Dhabi back to Europe, so stopped by the Yas Marina circuit for the F1 Grand Prix and V8 Supercars! We arrived on Friday evening and went to the circuit on Saturday and I saw the first two races and F1 qualifying. Then Sunday, the last V8 and F1 race, it was great to see Raikkonen deservedly win! So today we are traveling to Switzerland for the first time from Brno, it will be nice to arrive, even if just for one night, before heading to Valencia on Wednesday for my last MotoGP race. Let's hope it's a good weekend! Thank you all,
Casey”

Who knows what's going on in his mind!
I just hope he comes to his senses and gets a Ducati at least on Tuesday to really see once and for all the level of that bike as well as his and Rossi's!
I believe that Honda's approval is required for an act of this kind.
It is not in anyone's interest for this to happen except for some fans.
Let's settle for the test at the end of the 2010 championship
from Sunday evening he is free from any contractual constraints.
and he will also be free to choose when he wants to RETURN!! and I really hope so!
I don't think he's free on Sunday. the contracts are annual. you need the permission of the camorrhonda.
or am I wrong? well I knew that.
it would be nice to see him on the Ducati, even if for a year, he pushed very hard.
I admit that I haven't read the contract, my statement is based on the fact that when Rossi left Honda he didn't have the approval to ride a Yamaha until January 1st. consequently I assume that the contracts are annual, and that by tacit agreement between the teams the riders receive a release to try other bikes after the last GP
me too
even though I'm always afraid he will get hurt
because he always drives to the limit!!!
bibo, I made horns!
Hello.
sure guys that for us (motorcyclists) a guy who rides motorbikes like this must be crazy to change profession.
I imagine if I had those skills, but rather than get off the bike I would cut my arm.
incomprehensible sample.
For me Casey is already regretting it, I hope he changes his mind as soon as possible.
LET'S HOPE !!!
Great Casey!
I recommend everyone to read Wayne Rainey's biography... it's written there exactly because no rider who fights to win on motorbikes has fun... on the contrary, he hates what he has to do... that's what Wayne writes...
Kevin Swantz also wrote the same, and Valentino also wrote in his biography...
Maybe they didn't write exactly why, I think because one is a little ashamed to tell these things, and also because people like to think that winning riders like riding motorbikes... but the opposite is true, and Rainey explained it very well .
There is a big difference between running and running to win...
For a long time I kept a little secret to myself about when I was racing... when I saw the signs for the braking points... 200,150,100m...
What I have never said to anyone is: I was screaming in my helmet... very loudly: you must not brake... you must not brake...
One day while I was following Carl Fogarty's interview in Monza after winning the SBK race by beating Aaron Slight in the sprint...
Fogarty said that when he reached the parabolica he shouted to himself in his helmet not to brake...
I almost fell off my chair when I heard what he said...
No one can understand what psychological violence someone who fights to win does to himself....
Only those who did it.
