It is obvious Ducati couldnt keep the trend form big factories and you could see that in stoner final rides on ducati. Riders that are on the top will try to keep pn the top by going somewhere they are being offer the bike that can do it. The oppsoite occurs when you feel the factory will concetrate rather more on new blood than you which was the case on Valentino so it was time for him to leave. The main problem to build any kind of machinary is the people DRIVING or RIDING style. It like putting Button to drive a car Schumacher drove when he won championships. Both of them are champions but schumacher driving style completly different from Button. Same goes with a bike, Ducati, that was build around Stoner and someone else comes in with a completly difference riding style. Jut put Stoner on the Yamaha that took Rossi to his championship and you will see winning nothing.

Yes, you dont ride for the records but you do ride to win or beat others to it so he ussually is talking crap. I think he loves for his family and the death of simoncelli made a big mark on him and he wont ride NOT because he lost his passion (that is crap) but because of his family and what may happen to him; you may said he is scared and that is not shame but on the contrary a brave desicion however as usual Stoner keep his private life to himself which is the right thing to do. But for once, he would be more likeable when instead of talking crap like he does ussually just keep it to himself and that would be more understandable. He no like the media and he dont care about the fans and that is fine but stop trying to insult the fan intelligence by talking stuff we know it is not the real reason...

Stoner is as much doing his job as Mick Doohan did, that is making the other riders (particularly Rossi, who I am still a big fan of) look silly, by doing his talking on the track. You think his riding is robotic? I assume you mean consistent? Isn’t that the point in Formula One Motorsport to be precise ? This is not superbikes. I don’t understand why everyone expects him to be the big personality, he is contracted as a motorcycle racer and currently he does that better than everyone else. I find him VERY entertaining. When he was on inferior machinery he coped it, now he is o the best and winning a bit easier he still gets a hard time. Remember Rossi has had the best for his entire career, Stoner only has it now for the first time. Seems he can’t do anything right to some people? Any yes I do believe he is thinking about retiring, and now he has his first child and wants to spend time with here instead of flying all around the work, I totally understand. After all he has been traveling racing bikes for all his working life and a bit more! I travel overseas for work and it is very taxing. Mind you if I earned what he did, it would be more bearable :) Well if you need the riders to act like clowns to “do their job” so be it.

These guys have a passion for the "JOB". You give nothing back to the sport you, your riding and your media is Robotic.When push comes to shove the fans are paying for a show so technically Casey your not doing your job. Do us all a favour take your bat and ball and GO! p.s. im Australian Go Casey, get another job, you have lost the passion for the sport, You are no Rossi, Edwards or Sic.

Could be, could be. Looks at how amazingly well all the other riders have done on Ducatis.......

A pro AMA bike builder I know said the Duck had an extreme power advantage. Was the above advantage more the result of Stoner's riding ability than the Duck's HP advantage?

"I've said many times before my career is not going to keep going for long. I won't be going into my middle 30s or anything like that. "But until you hear it out of my mouth, don't listen to anything you read." He is now 26, still a fair way off mid 30s. That is true, but Here is what Casey actualy said in context:
