Casey Stoner Rumors, Still sick

For those of us that need it in english......


After a mystery illness left Casey Stoner drained and exhausted at the past four races, it was assumed that a return to his native Australia would provide Stoner with a welcome break. The rest, coupled with further consultations with doctors he has worked with before and whom he has much confidence in, would surely allow the 2007 World Champion to return to racing at Brno, if not completely recovered, then at least in better shape than he left the series after Donington.

But apparently, this is not to be. According to the Spanish website Motoworld.es, Ducati will be announcing tomorrow that Casey Stoner will not race at Brno. No one will be brought in to replace Stoner, according to Motoworld.es, something that Ducati would have to do if Stoner to miss the following round at Indianapolis two weeks later.

The report does not cite any definite cause for Stoner's decision to skip Brno, but Motoworld.es is alleging that the problems are mainly psychological, and a question of self-confidence. Stoner underwent a battery of tests after the US GP at Laguna Seca in early July, after which the team announced that the Australian had been diagnosed with mild gastritis and slight anemia. However, at Donington, Stoner denied that this was a problem, telling the press it was so minor as to be irrelevant, and that the problem must have another cause.

Being diagnosed certainly hasn't help solve Stoner's problems. According to Motoworld.es, sources inside Stoner's inner circle are reporting that if anything, his condition has got worse since the Barcelona race, rather than better.

The article goes on to compare Stoner's ailment with that of double world champion Freddie Spencer. In 1985, Spencer won both the 250 and 500cc classes in the same season, and it is said that the mental and physical effort of that year placed such a strain on him that he never fully recovered, and Spencer never won another Grand Prix race again. This however, must surely remain just speculation, and MotoGP fans around the world will surely be hoping that Stoner makes a full and speedy recovery, ready to challenge for victory again soon.



Psychological eh.......maybe CS is seeing the wrong type of 'doctor'.......!!! Time to book in for some couch time with Pinky

rossi will also miss the brno race, a gay ... romp gone terribly wrong.... more details will follow hoewever we all hope rossi will make a speedy recovery.

If true that sucks the big one. Wonder who would get his seat if he were to miss Indy

??

hmmm.

wtf
surely racing and getting a top 6 is better than not turning up ?

Duc n Casey had a big fallout ? been boiling up to this for a while ?

fallout from the Donnington fiasco ?

Casey fooked off with battling up front and never having a team mate up front helping to take points of his rivals ?

Casey upset ? lol maybe Ducati tell him Spies signs for 2010.

Silly season just gets better...!!!

EDIT: A FEW PLACES GOING WITH THIS NOW all with indiscretions

August 10, 2009

A decision that could change the dynamics of MotoGP. Casey Stoner, given the persistent physical problems without a clear and simple explanation, despite the many (and reliable) medical opinions of this period, he would have decided not to run the next round of the World Motorcycle Championship in Brno , but even this absence is prolonged, for a visit that also includes events in Indianapolis and Misano This blatant indiscretion, leaked in the late evening of yesterday back from summer holidays for many of those involved in the work of the "circus" MotoGP, immediately confirmed in Italy (from Motosprint.it) and Spain (online editions of "AS" and "Motorcycle Only").

According to the first entries, the announcement should arrive during the day from Ducati, which is traditionally the Monday pre-race disseminates the statement to the press presentation of the forthcoming Grand Prix. . At the time the rumors are contradictory: one speaks of a decision made necessary by the continuing problems, some talk about maybe in a season, others that the latest medical visits to Australia have not brought a resolution in the short term. Certainly the absence of any Casey Stoner would their chances of fighting for the championship with Ducati, which would find itself forced to find a replacement (first name circulated: Sete Gibernau), although for the moment we prefer to wait.

with logical and understandable concerns against the World Champion in 2007, that in the last 12 months has experienced any of the right wrist and shabby work, the sudden return to winter testing wrangle and develop the Desmosedici GP9, the splendid victories of Losail and Mugello, the suffering of the last period. Casey in Australia. Anemia and "light" of causes gastritis and made official by the Ducati, hearing the opinion of the Mobile Clinic, Dr. Arthur Ting in Los Angeles, before the summer holidays, spent in Australia by Casey.

In recent weeks there has been talk and little Stoner said, "rintanato" (just to be said) in the family ranch, Tamworth, in the midst of nature, surrounded by his wife Adriana, and only by those most dear (father Colin, mother Bronwyn , a few others). It seems Stoner has also undergone a further medical examination by Dotter Neil Halpin, as revealed by some local newspapers.

The last news before the "boom" today, waiting for confirmations and any developments on the case on a day that it seems almost decisive for the fate of the championship, but for the present (at this point even the future) of the Australian champion.

This season could've been better than ever if Stoner would've been fit. Sad to hear he still isn't though.

Strange... he did not look that ill. It may be psychological things, indeed.
I noticed he looked tense and irritated during the practice session. Is he feeling the pressure?
But, his result is not so bad, and he is usually fighiting at top.

Reuters report.
MADRID, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Australian Casey Stoner will miss the next three MotoGP races to give him the chance to get back to full fitness, Ducati team director Livio Suppo said on Monday

"He isn't well and the best thing for him is to stop, mainly to prevent the problem getting any worse," Suppo told Spanish state television, without giving any details of the 23-year-old's condition.

"It has been a very difficult decision that we took with the whole team. We are very disappointed, but it is the best for him," Suppo added.

Finnish rider Mika Kallio from the Pramac Racing team will be his temporary replacement, Suppo said.

Stoner, the 2007 world champion, will miss the Czech, Indianapolis and San Marino MotoGPs. He is third in the rankings behind leader Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.

You gave him aids didn't you pinky? Come on spill the beans.



Stoner out for the next three races after a three week lay-off. There is something really wrong with this guy, I think pinky skull ...... him a little to hard. Whatever it is, it isn't physical or a real problem because those heal. Hang up the roo suit he is done. If he is still fatigued after a three week vacation something tells me 3 more weeks aren't going to do ..... Does golf fatigue him to? What about shopping for his amazon women? Is that to tiring also? What a ...... ...... Man up or go join a chess league or something.

Get well soon Casey,don`t want to see you going the way of Spencer or Criville.

I hope he gets over whatever is ailing him soon.
I'm not a Casey fan, but I want as many riders challenging for the win as possible, and when Casey is fit, he can beat anyone.
His absence will be felt.

CS is out of the next 2 Moto gp races, and was confirmed today, Via Radio1 whom never talk much about Moto gp so must be pretty much true.

There goes the championship for him and for us as viewers. Left now to Lorenzo to do something. And may be Danny or Dovi. Who knows??

Might as well say Congrates to Rossi's 9th Championship title now

radio 1 said 2 races ?

reports say 3 races we will have to see

The Australian has suffered physical problems since the Catalunya GP, which have caused him severe fatigue during the last five races. Stoner took this difficult decision after having consulted with sports doctors who have looked after him for many years back home in Australia. At this challenging time, he has the full support of the team and the whole of Ducati who together with Stoner have enjoyed racing at the top of the sport for the last three seasons.

Mika Kallio will join Nicky Hayden in the Ducati Marlboro Team for the next three races, thanks to the great spirit of collaboration between Ducati and the satellite team owned by Paolo Campinoti. Kallio is in his debut season in MotoGP and has already proved to be very competitive on the GP9. For the Brno race, his place in the Pramac Team will be taken by Michel Fabrizio.

CASEY STONER, Ducati Marlboro Team (3rd in the championship on 150 points)
“After five extremely difficult races due to my health, I returned to Australia to visit the sports doctors who have looked after me for many years. We have taken the difficult decision not to contest the next three rounds of the championship, to allow my body time to recover from the recent stress. The doctors believe that during the Barcelona race I was suffering from a virus, and, that I subsequently pushed my body too hard, leading to problems that have caused my fatigue since then. The doctors are continuing with many tests to try to understand these problems and make sure it does not happen again. I have spoken with Ducati and thank them for their understanding at this time. I feel very sorry for the factory, my team, my sponsors and the fans and I am also disappointed because the bike in the last races has been very competitive. I will be doing everything possible to come back at full strength for Portugal.

NICKY HAYDEN, Ducati Marlboro Team (13th in the championship on 47 points)
“Last season I was unable to race at Brno because I was injured, but it’s a great track which was completely resurfaced last year so I expect it will be much better in terms of the lumps and bumps. At least this year I will find out, having spent the break at home in Kentucky preparing myself for the second half of the year, and not taking part in things like the “X Games”! I can’t wait to get back on track and score some results which will make my team happy. I hope Casey can get better over the next few weeks because we all know how quick he is when he is fit. In the meantime I need to try to make progress with the team and try to make sure that they don’t miss him too much.”

MIKA KALLIO, (15th in the championship on 34 points)
“When I took the call I could hardly believe it, but then I talked to my manager and I realised it was true. I am proud to be racing the next three events with the Ducati Marlboro Team. Obviously I’m not expecting to suddenly be a second quicker, because our bikes are very similar to the official machines, but I hope to be able to pick up some good results for the team. I would particularly like to thank Paolo Campinoti, who has allowed me to enjoy this incredible opportunity. It will be a real honour for me. Nonetheless I would like to send my best wishes to Casey, and I hope to see him back out on track as soon as possible.”

LIVIO SUPPO, MotoGP Project Director
“It’s obviously difficult for us to contemplate the next three races without Casey, but it’s clear that the most important thing at this time is his health. Since his debut with us in Qatar in 2007, Casey has won 18 times as well as taking countless podium finishes, becoming one of the top riders in the World Championship in the process. We have already overcome tough times together, like when he had to undergo surgery on his scaphoid towards the end of last season. We are united whether in times of success or in times of difficulty. We are confident that the doctors will help solve the issues that have affected him since early June and that Casey will be able to take part in the last races of the year in peak fitness. Then we can prepare for 2010 in the best way possible. A big thank you to Paolo Campinoti who as always has proved to be a great supporter and an ideal partner for Ducati, allowing Mika to ride with the Ducati Marlboro Team for the next three races. Mika is having a really positive debut year in MotoGP and we are delighted that he will be alongside Nicky in the official works team. In his place at Brno in the Pramac Team will be Michel Fabrizio, who I am certain will know how to give the right kind of performance on one of his preferred tracks.”

Excellent. Should be good experience for Kallio. Especially if he is top Ducati in all 3 races.

Nearly my favourite 4 riders in the world riding for Ducati in GP now: Kallio, Hayden, Fabrizio and Canepa!
