Casey Stoner back in action this weekend

[DR]

yup, though I'm not a huge fan of Casey there is no question of his amazing talent

the wheelie thing brings back an old memory from the 500's ( or maybe it was the 250's ). Not sure what race it was but Max Biaggi had just won. He was really pumped and pulled this wheelie across the finish line at high speed. Max almost had a 'Golden Dream Racer' finish and a near death moment almost flipping it. To save it, it appeared he tapped the rear brake and the front came down so frickin' hard he almost crashed for the second time only this time over the bars! Barry Sheene and Darryl Eastlake were commentating and you can imagine how excitable that pair got when they saw it, not overly professional for the race winner

Czech GP, Brno 1998, his first 500 win.

Only he and his drycleaner know just how close that was !

Naturally, it's on youtube....

.Casey deserves it espeicaly as Wayne Gardner(2 wins 89/90) has Gardner Straight and Mick Doohan (1 win 98???) has Doohan Corner.

How about Anthony Gobert, won the odd GP, Superbike race and has made us all proud. Maybe they could do something that combined them both ... the 'Stoner Anthony Loop" perhaps.

What about the Antony Gobert public toilet...to commemorate the direction his career took.

Yes well from factory rider to being broke and arrested for purse snatching is quite a decline.... but I am still a fan, could of been bigger than Mick on a road bike and as good as Chad on an MXer, if only I had 1% of that talent to throw away.

Gobert never went near the podium in GP's.

Ah but he did show promise and lead a lap or two ...Phillip Island

Stoner certainly bolted alright, not much of a race apart from nicky having a good go at rossi. Depuniet impressed me with his catching & passing other guys after being in last by miles
Watched from siberia & saw maxwell's brainfart but haven't heard whether he got fined $10,000 for it like iannone did last year

[GD66]

5000 Euros was the fine. As for the toll the aftershock will have on his career, time will tell...

[tony27]

If the whole thing had been on camera he wouldn't have a career as I can't see any team wanting to be associated with him

No TV there is always YOUTUBE

I bet Casey can't wait to get the next GP over and done with. It doesn't matter how many sets of forks or swingarms they throw at that Ducati, its still a piece of shit.
It will interesting to see what Rossi has to say after his first ride on it...I liked Hayden's famous quote after his first ride on the Ducati along the lines of "I'm not sure what they are paying Casey to ride this thing, but they need to double it"... a sure way to impress your new employer

Ben Spies:

"Casey on a Honda could be a very scary situation," the American said. "The Honda's working quite well now. When Casey's on, there's been nobody on a Ducati that can touch him. Those are just facts. So it's going to be scary to see what he does on a Honda. Again, it's one of those things that could go really bad for everybody. We'll have to see. "

Shooting the breeze or significant?

Yes Stoner has said about the Ducati 'It depends what mood it's in" , the crashes are all indentical mid corner font end wash out ,no warning just fold.
