    One cool thing I always liked about Casey is that when all the riders had models holding the umbrella on the grid, Casey always had his wife. It just shows the integrity and loyalty of the guy. Might look like a small thing, but it really shows the kind of bloke he is

    For me his early retirement was the worst thing that happen to the racing. Glad he got out unhurt, but it would have been great to see him for a few more years. The most talent I have ever witnessed on a moto gp bike, and the fastest in his time. Reminds me of Joey Dunlop, a little, very unassuming and humble, and around decent guy, who was treated very badly by the British so called race fans. Those that did should be ashamed

      I go back and forth through BC and the Yukon multiple times making the trip to Dawson, It's crazy how big and far BC stretches for and its an amazing drive, last year was weird with covid.. no rented RV's or traffic like usual, just some Semi's taking loads and that was pretty much it once on the Alaska highway. In the winter I live in Oklahoma, quite a bit different life styles to say the least.. 4000 miles from my house in Oklahoma to camp on quartz Creek in only 4 nights out, it's a long but beautiful haul once your away from the major cities.

      I am a fan of ability. So I was obviously a fan of Casey Stoner. Seriously amazing talent, so much talent that he was enchanting to watch. Rossi's bad reaction to Casey made me lose some respect and lose admiration for Valentino. I was genuinely disappointment when Casey retired so young because I knew I wouldn't enjoy watching racing as much again.
      But I was also glad Casey got out without a serious injury.

    An absolute pleasure to watch Casey Stoner race going back to British Championship days. In terms of pure speed maybe only Freddie Spencer and Jarno Sarrinen were at his level in the history of motorcycling Grand Prix racing . A pure rider, would have loved to seen him on a 500cc two stroke. One of the best there's ever been.

Dani may have never won the premier class title, but he finished 2nd three times, and 3rd three times as well. He also won world championships in the lower classes with bikes that fit his size better.

    It always seemed to me that Vale played more mind games - on and off the track - than any other rider. That he was so obviously doing this with Sete, Max, Jorge, Dani and Casey just demonstrated who he was really concerned about as potential winners. By the time Marc came along he was no longer able to ride with the top few - getting old affects us all.
    Now that Vale is no longer on the grid, the MotoGP track seems to be a very much nicer, more personable, and more professional place to be.
    That Vale's fans were SO badly behaved, and he did nothing to stop them, should concern the whole sport.
