Somewhere I read that Pedroza never smiles, no mater win or not, he is like that. He is a good racer with so far bad luck: crashes=injuries et al. In time, he will show how good he is, or bad ?who knows? I think if not for the crash with Simoncelli,(his fault or not his fault)which prevented him to race, he could be maybe in second or third place in the standings. So, constipated or not, give him a chance, he may surprise you this year or next.

Ha, too true. I don’t dislike the guy by any stretch, but dang doesn’t he always look like he hasn’t pooped in about 3.5 days

I think these interviews are first translated from whatever language they used into Spanish for press release, then translated back into English for English-speaking media! That’s why even native English speakers like Casey end up sounding so unnatural.

As an Aussie that just doesn’t sound right. I get the impression that this is the Repsol Honda interpretation of what Stoner said and not his actual words. Either way it’s been a great first half of the season and can’t wait for the second half. I don’t think Jorge is ready to roll over and concede defeat just yet. Bring it on.

I first noticed Casey on the 250′s. I saw him take about 10 seconds to crash after it was already over, everything except for him hitting the deck. He fought through two corners, on and off the track, and almost saved it. I remember thinking at the time “Man that Guy can RIDE!”.

I saw him crash at Laguna during his first round on the Honda MotoGP bikes (2005?). As he was walking back to the pits I thought of saying “Don’t be dejected, you’re going to be a World Champion some day”, I should have.

My regard for Jorge is as high as for Casey, this is gonna be good.

If he wins this championship, and another. Honda will do their usual of getting rid of, constraining them until they move, because they will assume that a monkey could win on one of their bikes. This year that is almost true, next year we’ll see.
This interview shows (kinda) how uncomfortable Honda keeps their riders. They’re afraid of speaking their mind for fear of incurring the wrath.
Every up & comer wants to ride a Honda. Nobody wants to feel disposable. One more championship and he’ll go the way of Rossi, Hayden, even Colin Edwards of WSB.

I have never commented here before, and no big whoop one way or the other, but does anyone else think these do NOT sound like words that would come out of Casey Stoner’s mouth? He’s a pretty friendly, upbeat, outgoing Aussie who shoots from the hip in every interview I’ve seen or read. This sounds much more like a corporate Honda robot being fed cue cards. I see that MC Daily noted this interview was provided by Honda. Perhaps carefully scripted and edited as well?
