One of THE most, naturally gifted riders of our generation.
His technical knowledge is just brilliant
One of the most irritating and opinionated losers out there I agree
@@erictrzaska5771 u clearly have NO clue what you're talking about.
@@erictrzaska5771 self reflecting mate?
@@MickH60 no brother. Just an observation. Anytime we see horse teeth stoner on social media he is being vile and complaining about everything and anything. Shows your room temp IQ to attempt turn my comment into a self reflection. Lmfao. Get a better idle
There was never anyone...even close .How he stood the bike up long before anyone else on the track and pulled the trigger way before anyone else was terrifying..his contemporaries saw what he was doing ...but no one could come close to doing it...truly the GOAT
Casey ; you have integrity and your humble nature shines through in this interview. What you were able to achieve riding the Ducati was never repeated.
_"If you let those electronics sort it out they would sort you out."_ what a great line.
Thanks for doing this Casey. Watching you ride was a privilege.
Casey, watching you ride was a pleasure. I feel lucky, privileged to have witnessed that era.
Casey nailed it with the Rossi thing and for me it was the Rossi “mafia” who hated anyone who challenged their hero VR46. I love MotoGP and follow all the riders but for me Casey is and always be my number 1 because his style, his determination and drive stood out above all and I watched in awe at him dominating Philip Island. Fab podcast boys and what a start. Love it ❤
I like Casey more and more when I see these interviews. I absolutely always respected his incredible talent . I suppose I fell for the media’s efforts to villainize him . I will admit that I was wrong. He’s a super cool guy and I agree wholeheartedly with his opinions on Grand Prix racing . It’s too bad he didn’t always get the respect he deserved . Nobody denies his talent , however .
I've had the privilege to watch all types of top level motorcycle racing all over the world for the past 35 or so years - the most impressive thing I have ever seen is Casey through turn 3 at Phillip Island. They were right to call it Stoner corner. Big respect.
When Casey speaks, I listen carefully. He articulates my issues I have with the promotion and running of MotoGp perfectly because I agree wholeheartedly with all the points he makes. MotoGP would be in a much better place with Casey in charge, unfortunately, the promoters of the sport, as with most sports, are mainly focused on the money and not the integrity of that sport (not 'the show' nor 'the business'). Much respect to Casey, I hope his health continues to improve and I hope we see more of him.
Thanks also to Neil for making this interview possible, it was a real treat. Cheers.
Casey is one of my fav riders. Just naturally gifted and a wonderful person
Stoner. Living legend. 👍👊
27:53 I’m certain Casey won’t be reading these comments - but I feel compelled to comment and assure him that as a UK fan, I always had a lot of respect for him. Sorry that a lot of the UK audience were so vocally disrespectful.
I always loved hearing him speak and loved that he was always honest with his commentary.
Alot of us in the UK love you Casey. I have followed you and been a massive fan since your 125cc GP Days. I remember being at knockhill when you had never been there before in 2001 and broke the lap record with a 54.9s lap. 😎✊🏼
Awesome listening to Casey, especially his views on current MotoGP tech.. I think he hits the nail on the head, the best riders in the world shouldn't have TC, anti-wheelie, ride height control etc.. The problem that exists now though is there are no current riders in the MotoGP paddock that have ridden a GP bike without it, and, if you take it away, they'll be chucking themselves into the gravel left right and centre. CS is 100% correct, stopping the wheelie, spinning up up to turn the bike, stopping it spinning to get it to grip out of a corner etc.. was the skill of making a bike fast - Who can forget Casey smoking the rear up at will.
God bless both these men for what they did for motorcycles. Casey did what no one could. Not even Rossi. Casey my humble friend, be proud you did what no one else could. You guys were real racers...doing the hard miles in the backs of vans or pick ups...sleeping on the road...riding junk winning with talent...Real racers with talent controlling a machine and doing things no one else can.
Stoner was an unbelievable talent. His peers (Lorenzo, Spies, Hayden et al) all thought he could do things they couldn't. Such a shame he retired before taking on Marc..
Retired too soon
Stoner took a bike that nobody else could ride or develop and won with it. True legend.
Fantastic interview. Great to hear CS talking about removing rider aids , to reveal the real talent
I loved watching Casey on that Ducati he was then and still is now my fave rider in moto gp class . The slow motion footage of him cornering , sliding was a thing of beauty none of the other lads came close . Oh and not many a rider could go up to VR46 and say "your ambition outweighed your talent" after vr46 took him out
no es el caso de marquez 6 A 0
So true
Neil always mentions highly of Casey whenever the occasion arises. I understand some people were and still are hesitant to bring up Casey's name, but not Neil. Casey as the first guest felt so right. This was a delight to watch. Thank you Neil and Casey, legends.
PS: I recommend reading Casey's book if you haven't already, great read.
As an Aussie, Casey is legend along with Gardner and Doohan. Would put Bayliss up there too.
I was a Rossi fan, and my observation as a fan, is that he needed to create an enemy out of anyone he saw as a threat, to bring the best out of himself.
Similar to how Michael Jordan did.
But his ego got the better of him when he got desperate.
Still a Rossi fan but it definitely took the shine off his image.
Mad chat, thanks for sharing.
You missed try corser
@@1sneaky1a yep, he’s another one 👍🏼
Casey Stoner is a biking legend, because he won the Moto GP world title in 2007 and 2011, for 2 manufacturers and beat a prime Valentino Rossi to the championship which many could not do, kudos to him, and thanks for the great races you give us.
Except he got beaten by prime Valentino Rossi in. 2006, 2008 and 2009 😂😂😂
@@moniquepagano4069 And Casey destroyed him in 2007, 2011 and 2012.
Absolutely loved this, such a pity Casey was miss understood (mostly thanks to the press) back in the day. Great work Neil and co ♥
Being an Australian ive been a massive stoner fan forever. Was awesome being at Phillip island for many of his victories as well as his final race. His book is a great read as well
Love to Casey from Sydney. Many fans followed his career from when he was a teenager riding 125's. When the 500's were broadcast, the 125 race was also shown because Casey was racing. When he moved up to 250's, we used to get the 250 race then the 500's. He was very humble when he won the young Australian of the Year Award in 2008. He had no idea that so many people admired and respected him. When he won again in 2011 and kicked ass in almost every race it was really a high point of national spirit.
What a great interview from a legend.
Casey stonerr is a champion never to be forgotten 😊😊😊
Casey is a real Legend and I have the greatest respect for him ,honest and truly humble #27 forever 🙏
Agree 💯 % with Stoner
Just superb. Casey has such a wonderful attitude to life.
10/10 best interview I've ever seen with Casey 👍
What a legend. I was always a Rossi fan and only started to appreciate this man when he retired. Wish he could have stayed racing. What a pleasure it was to see him race. He hung off the bike more than anyone else. He had so much more to offer but respect his decision to retire. In my opinion he's the GOAT! Sorry Rossi and Marc 🤪
Stoner, ognuno ha il proprio carattere...tu ti sei rivelato,in quegli anni, un po' ....debole...ma il 2015, he abbia iniziato Vale o...è stata una vergogna!!! Non c'è da scusare Marquez assolutamente
def the best at quickly adapting to the bike he had, not trying to ride the bike he wish he had
Always thought you were underappreciated by the motorcycle sporting public. I have always thought your integrity shone above others showmanship. Oh you can ride a bike as well ! I saw you at PI. Incredible. Great interview. Thanks
Two of my favourite legends, every minute was facsinating. When I bought my first 1000cc Thunderace I sh$& myself, couldn't believe how rapid it was even below 5000 rpm. Never mind drifting it into corners like the good old days for Casey. Great chat gents
Very enjoyable. Quite incredible to watch and listen to two champions chat about life and race experience in their specific fields of competitiveness.
Casey Stoner changed MotoGP for me and our generation in 2007 +. Spinning and twisting that Ducati through bends was pure magic. His style defied the laws of physics. Wishing Casey full health- Looking forward to more podcasts. Thanks!
Listening to Casey dive into some technical aspects in particular was a joy!
100% agree that watching riders do the seemingly impossible, showcasing their individual skill is the best! Less electronics, less aero please. Best wishes to Casey + family.
On his day. He was untouchable. Awesome riding style.
What a great interview, fantastic questions by Neil and superb replies by Casey. A true champion and legend. 🙏👍
Wow wow Casey you were the best out on the track....Tru blu Aussie legend... the battles with Rossi were just the ultimate fan shows ever.Thxs for the memories Casey. Ducati should've listened to you earlier than their team principles at the time....
Thoroughly enjoyed that, very insightful and interesting. Thanks Casey and Neil. And Ducati of course.
Casey is the most real and most humble raw talent racer ever.
I was going to see the GPs at Donnington in the days of the 500 legends and was there the day Valentino won on the 500. And that made him a hero to me at the time.
But the day Casey beat Valentino and they booed him on the podium, I was horrified by it. It was disgusting. The football fan mentality of the fan base was so shocking. Definitely not what motorcycle racing should be off the track.
In all the years since had nothing but the biggest respect for the man Casey has become.
I remember 2009, it rained at Donnington and the Ducatis took a punt that it would be a full wet race out and went out on wets. It was a disaster and to make it worse they booed him too. Couldn’t understand it either but he wasn’t Rossi and all that came with him. Shame as he’d ridden in the UK throughout his youth.
That was a disgusting display by UK motorcycle racing fans that day, when they "booed" Casey.
The entire world world of motorcycle sport enthusiasts were pretty pissed off.
A day of great shame for UK enthusiasts.
The people of the UK should have all been right behind Casey Stoner, because as an Australian, he would be the closest thing to having a winning British rider for them.
What a great talk . Think i'm gonna listen it 1 more time.
Stoner needs to be involved in motogp a lot more , and explain to dorna what to do in the future
Id recommend Caseys autobiography. Certainly changed my view of racing and whats required inside and out. His slowmos to me are always gonna be perfection.
agreed that we need to go back to raw motorcycles. Down with electronics. Up with rider skill
I'm conflicted! I would have to disagree that the Tech side actually "aids" the rider to much. If it was then TopRak would have killed it at the Yamaha Test he did back in 2023. ESPECIALLY UNDER HEAVY BRAKING with the control TopRak has riding a Unicycle 😁... .
Also more often than not Riders that lose their seats in MotoGP who make the step over to WSBK Generally are quite Competitive right out of the gate......
BUT, I DO feel like the Pace of Bike Development is moving faster than the Riders can continue to safely keep up with!
" if that makes sense" .
I think I'd like to see a temporary Extremely restrictive Development Regulations beyond where Aprilia, KTM & Ducati have already pushed it
(Front/Rear Ride Height Devices, some Aero development, & overall Top Speed).But still leave enough room to make incremental progress with existing Developments..
@@lightningmcqueen181 Curious; do you think removing extra tech from the bike is a safety concern?
I dont hate on the advanced tech but it does make it hard to see when a rider is struggling or when they pull off a cool manouver.
Riders make their way to MotoGP cause they prove themselves on lesser bikes. MotoGP bikes should be a beast, and to tame the bike should be part of riding in the premier class. In Supercross, the riders in the premier class rarely hit full throttle.
Taming the power and being efficient (or in MotoGP terms, economical) is part of it and its cool to see when some do it better than others.
Grandeeee muy grande auténtico señor
Shut up boomer lmao
Man these motorcycles are a lot faster these days than back when they didn't have any electronics, so they must be harder to ride.
Superb. Really interesting insight. You can still feel the intensity. Hats off.👍
Amazing interview with the legend Casey Stoner, I enjoy hearing the real scoop vs what you thought as a fan at the time, such a humble and genuine person. Its too bad chronic fatigue syndrome cut his career short, for years I struggled with this as well chasing my tail to find the cure, finally got to the source of my problem through a natural path doctor, turned out my body was storing mercury which will create havoc your immune system. Once I removed the source of the mercury which was the fillings in my teeth, which has to be done properly, then chelated the heavy metal from my body was I able to break free from this depressing syndrome and get my optimal health back. Hopefully Casey finds a way to optimal health as well, surely the reason he was unable to continue performing at that level it's just not possible. Good luck Casey and thanks for the interview 👍
casey has a natural talent of public speaking he uses his words very well
Great interview. Sepang 2015 was the day I stopped being a Rossi fan and I know I'm not the only one. He couldn't handle his own mind games, that he used successfully for years, not phasing Marc.
It was embarrassing to watch him try and start drama only to get absolutely rinsed by Marc on track.
100% agree
Loved Valentino up to then but lost so much respect for him after that. Karma got him good, if he had stayed calm he would have won that year when Lorenzo won ( after penalty etc )
Yet, Rossi is Laughing at all of you all the way to the Bank!!! MM93 is such an arrogant dangerous Punk and his fans are too. He'll NEVER be the GOAT like Rossi, no matter how many wins / championships he ends up with. Rossi pushing back on a punk like Marquez IS what I respect about him. Not letting some asswhipe like MM push the older guy around.
@@protectandswerve Rossi was absolutely brilliant aboard the Ducati.....or maybe not.... Made a fool of himself.
@@dvdlaffinHow did you do on the Ducati then?
Rossi still has nightmares thinking about the day that you stopped being his fan… stop making everything about youself. No one cares.
Very interesting comments from Neil about how hard the '07 Ducati was to ride. Puts it in perspective.
I am a huge Casey fan loved watching him race such a talented misunderstood racer
A very misunderstood man - but more understood now (from my perspective)! And humble with much integrity. I wish him well in his quest to bring some sanity to the MotoGP rules and to pass on his skills - he still has a lot to give to riders and the sport. Go well Casey...
Poetry in motion, Casey, no one quite like you. Acosta has some great talents, and reminds me of how you rode. Also liked how smooth Lorenzo was in his prime.
I agree. When I see Acosta ride he reminds me of Casey.
What a talent
Just wish he was racing now at his prime
fantastic interview
Great interview, Casey is a legend and a decent guy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always been a Rossi fan and his special moments are unforgettable but Casey came through with such an unbelievable talent and speed it was incredible to witness
Excellent interview. Thanks guys
truly a real Legend, i wish all the best to Casey❤
That was awesome, I looked a few months back to see if Neil had a pod. This is great to see!
Am so happy to see Stoner life on line!!! God bless him and bless you
Great interview and what a top bloke Casey is! Neil ain't bad either 😉
Lovely chat gents !! Respect and support are good for all.
Great interview Neil loved it
A great sportsman and outstanding Australian.
Fantastic interview Neil! Look forward to the next one.
I wholeheartedly agree with Casey, get rid of the electronics and then we can see who can actually ride a bike! Great interview Neil! Loved it
No electronics, no ugly wings. Just man and machine 🔥
@@miyaaaaw Correct my friend
CS27 🔥
Thanks guys. Just two great riders having a chat, letting us mere mortals listen in. Casey we miss you & your faultless riding.
Mr Hodgson, we need you to do more of these chats with your old riding mates please.
Casey you are probably the best rider I have ever seen. No one could have ridden that Ducati to all those wins. Look at those that tried. Technical talent, understanding and flatout guts to do it. Who gives a damn if Pims don't like you. You are revered in places that matter, like NZ and Aus. Glad to see you looking so relaxed and happy.
Fantastic chat, I could have listened for hours.
I remember him racing, he was just on another level. Casey Stoner is one of the G.O.A.T of MotoGP.
Who wants to see what testing a moto gp motorcycle is has to see Casey testing in motegi in 2013 the rcv 213 and see how raw was back then and how he tamed it except of great rider was also an amazing test rider to develop a motorcycle,for the only genuine with balls MotoGP championship will always be in 2007 with Casey and of course todays riders without electronics don’t exist so that’s the difference cheers also to Neil a rough rider too 😎🤙
Such a straight talking guy and on-point imo about rules/regulations. It’s racing what we want to see… lap times/records aren’t that important
This has made me understand the man no end thanks a million 🏁
So many hurdles Casey had to jump in his career,great interview Neil
all podcast with Casey and Ben Spies are the best! raw truth. Casey and Ben are best friends. They have similar personalities.
Truly straight shooters.@@USAracing
Great and very honest interview
Excellent interview, looking forward to the next one.
Loved this interview, well done. Never realised Yamaha pulled contracts at the last minute on him, I wonder who had a say on that at the time!!😃
Great interview with my favourite MotoGP rider.
Much respect for Casey! Great pod cast, looking forward to the next one..
What a fantastic interview!
What a cracking interview! Thanks Casey and Neil!
great pod cast and interview thanks
What a great interview! 👌🏽👌🏽
Brilliant brilliant chat boys thank you Casey for being so honest and open. Sorry UK gave you so much crap. So glad you was yourself a fresh of air compared to today's pr correct riders. Enjoy your life champ 🏆🏆
Fantastic Neil, Great Podcast👍
This interview is just like Casey's riding , Sublime , Thanks and subscribed , Casey was insane , who could forget his 190mph drifts back then , his control of the bike was unmatched
Im not sure if he reads the comments, but: im glad i was watching motogp during your years. It was awesome seeing you race live, and witnessing what you achieved. Also, i hope you are ok healthwise.
Great veiwing,,,,, cheers
In my opinion Casey would have dominated Moto GP if had not had the health issues. He was more gifted than Rossi in many respects.
That was simply great!💜🤟🏻
Great interview!
Awesome episode!
I didn't have that hour and you made me stay to the very end. Top conversation, so informative and interesting. Now I want to see that other hour that was taken out.
great pod, enjoyed the chat with Casey! looking forward to more , cheers
Thanks Neil….Casey will have my attention
Casey invented the drifting in GP bikes, becoming a part of the bike🏆🏅. GP legend
Legend indeed, one of a handful of the fastest racers I ever saw in my 67 years faster than Freddie there with Rainey Lawson and Kenny I never understood the haters at all
Wow that was fantastic. For me two greats of the sport and hearing your take on motorcycle racing was a pleasure. I have watched both of you race many times. And have briefly met both in my capacity at the time as a volunteer race official. Sorry Neil but you said so yourself, there are riders, good riders and very few exceptional riders. In my 60+ years of going to and watching motorcycle racing I wouldn't need to take my shoes and socks off to count the exceptional. But Casey would be in that category, along with Rossi, Marquez, Agostini, Hailwood, Roberts and Joey Dunlop etc.
I couldn't agree more with Casey about the direction and future of Moto GP. They started getting it wrong years ago. Then once it started getting away from them the organizers have tried all sorts of stupid patches to bring it back, but it has gone. Too many electronics and aero crap. They have gone the way of planes that cannot be flown by a human without a computer as the plane is too unstable and requires computer input to keep it in the air. Take all the crap off the bikes. Make rules that allow wind deflection bodywork only. Engine development within a scope. Mixed brand tyre choice. Limited chassis mods and then leave it to rider skill. I would watch that again. The current racing I lost interest in years ago.
I loved the 500 two stroke era. Roberts, Rainey and Schwantz. Massive Schwantz fan, he certainly rode from the rear.
I think Casey should pursue trying to bring his knowledge to young riders coming through. If he could pass on half that talent, it could make them better than a lot of the field out there today riding a computer.
Just found this and subscribed, looking forward to more.
