Is it just me or do you guys hear the toys flying out of his pram to ?

[ctjet]

He's always been a sook, he's just now a sook whos not winning

Everybody just takes more notice now and it feels like most people are just counting down to his retirement

I understand why he's gone on this year, but he wont be around for too much longer

We can only hope,

I've never liked Rossi

cries like a little girl and blames everything but himself when he doesnt win

[ctjet]

The worst part about it, is that the loveable wide eyed nutjob that was due to replace him, died last year

Honestly I still miss the shit out of him, its so boring without him

[Nee-san]

Simoncelli had the presence and personality without the sook attitude.

How much of an Animal is Casey Stoner ?

He's just a little bike riding machine, I think honda kept some of Doohan's jizz cryogenically frozen and impregnated Mr's stoner when the old boy wasn't looking.

Or maybe Honda have a big collection of DNA samples in an underground mine, like in the X Files.

Obviously they haven't had any luck breeding F1 Engineers though LOL.

[stR33ter]

I think Casey should remind Rossi of the comment he made about learning to ride and to stop complaining when he was on the Ducati. That kids been the only one that's ever looked fast on that thing other than maybe Bayliss.

[ctjet]

i think casey should leave rossi in the no mans land that he's in and not give him a second thought

a back to back championship is calling him, thats all he should be concerning himself with

[wolverine]

Casey delivering a solid win last night.

Cal Crutchlow looking like he is going to be the next rider to join the top tier with a very good 4th place pushing hard all race.

[ctjet]

and another one, just like the other one!

onya mate

what the hell is Spies problem? teammate fighting for the win and he's nowhere near him

[wolverine]

Spies looked the biz at times last year, hard to understand what is going on there.

[ctjet]

His target for this year was two wins

... better set a new target

In other news, we're almost rid of Vale

The retirement rumours will break his spirit, and Ducati are doing him no favours

Marc Marquez for 2014 title!

[Daleo]

Casey Stoner has just announced that he will be retiring at the end of the 2012 season.

[Nee-san]

Casey Stoner has just announced that he will be retiring at the end of the 2012 season.

If he was 30 I could understand.

26 seems a bit young to me, but at the end of the day it's his life and when you're in that kind of financial position being happy with your family is probably priority # 1.

Good luck to him, I just hope he retires and stays retired instead of getting the itch back in a few years time.

[JAS-25T]

yeah he was taking the piss earlier this season knocking those rumours on the head. now he is saying it's been a while coming...

[wolverine]

Seeing what happened to Simoncelli would have focussed his mind.

[Roy]

Most likely 3 titles, good leath, hot Mrs and young family. Move on...brave decision but probably the right one. Travel must suck the love out of it

[ctjet]

What a sad sad day it is today, and what a sad day round 1 next year will be

Honestly, after Simmo went and now Casey, I think I'm done with MotoGP. There's no way I'm going to watch Pedrosa v Lorenzo for the win 15 odd times

The current grid does not excite me at all, but I do wish Casey and his smoking hot missus all the best

Now ill def be at PI this year, cheering him on to end the year in style
