Hey Mdub, what might have given Shitlock the clue it was 'doctored'?
 
I'm surprised that people have been expecting some kind of statement from Stoner already. I wouldn't expect anything until the Thursday interviews, that's par for the course.

LOL that is great Mdub the simpletons. LOL come on I am the only one who tries to even stand up for the poor little aussie. So until the guy comes out with a statement for real, all you guys are reading and some are funding magazines with money to read the .........
 
Stoner's coming back because Jumkie begged him to at Indy. It was pathetic, I was there, I saw the whole thing. Jumkie was gushing!

While I'm not defending CS per se, I don't think Ducati or it's sponsor have handled any of this particularly well. After they waived money in just about everyone's face for weeks on end, I suspect that didn't inspire CS with renewed loyalty for either.

Stoner returns for MotoGP in Portugal
ROBERT GRANT
September 29, 2009 - 2:59PM

Australian Casey Stoner has returned to Europe to resume his MotoGP season but the illness which has sidelined him for three races remains a mystery.

Stoner flew home after the British Grand Prix in July to rest and try to work out what has been dogging his season.

The 23-year-old won the opening race of the year in Qatar and took out the Italian Grand Prix in round six but from then on found himself physically exhausted and unable to finish races strongly.

Stoner had blood tests in the US and in Sydney on his return but his condition does not appear to have been diagnosed.

After missing three rounds, Stoner lies fourth in the championship, which is being headed by Valentino Rossi, bidding for his seventh MotoGP crown.

With four races remaining, including this month's Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island, Stoner has no chance of claiming a second title.

He resumes this week at the Estoril GP in Portugal but Stoner's Ducati team bosses say they are not concerned by results.

Team chief Livio Suppo says the plan is to get Stoner back in competition mode - which means he is unlikely to be a frontrunner at his home race from October 16-18.

Suppo said Stoner was "okay" when he arrived in Switzerland ahead of the Estoril race.

"Of course we need to see how he will be in the race and as far as that point goes we don't really know," Suppo told motorcyclenews.com.

"For sure his physical condition will not be at the top so we need to keep these races as kind of training for next year and help Casey work on the bike for next year.

"We certainly don't need to put any big pressure or expectation on Casey.

"It is not about him coming back and winning the next four races. I don't care about that. We just need to get him back on the bike and make sure he is comfortable."

During his absence rumours circulated that Stoner would not be returning to the team and there had been a rift between the two, but Ducati maintained throughout he would be back in action at Estoril.

Thats sensible and realistic from suppo but i wonder what the phillip morris boys think.

I am still not necessarily convinced he is coming back.

If he does come back hrc may be his best long term option, as I think charisma is probably well behind winning potential as a current priority.

i dont think he will get on at hrc. there as big a .......s as ducati. infact i think he would have been sacked for taking all this time off if he were riding for hrc. I dont see hrc tolerating his hissy fits either. I reckon he would be better off as gresini.

They seemed to quite like mick doohan who had a similar attitude to the media, even if a somewhat greater record of achievement

Again, as jumkie has argued, this depends on your underlying assumption; he is only currently having a hissy fit if there has actually been nothing wrong with him which is surely at least in doubt. HRC also have seen fit to keep dani who has missed more races over the last 3 seasons and has also won a few less than 18 races over this period by my rough reckoning

The bigger question is who did the taken out of the two pics? Casey or Uccio?

Hey pic editor guys, could you all leave casey in one of these pics take out amizonia and replace her with Uccio. Thanks.

Hey, you can't prove it.


Unlike GDuc..

'Thank you for giving me this opportunity to give Casey a shout out'...<starts to get choked up and adjusts his glasses as tears begin to run down face>

'Oh please Casey come back, we miss you some much, my life is empty without you...' 'I don't even feel like riding my 1098 "S" anymore...'

(Hey, click on the pic and zoom in on GDuc's lower lip, I think it quivering. Bahahaha

I agree, its been mishandled. But also, people just don't believe Casey. He would have been better off crashing into a wall and fracturing a few bones, then this way he could show people the x-ray. Hahaha, I already can imagine a few people calling him a ..... for sitting out a few races anyway. Stoner can't win.

The best he can do is come back and make the podium. I'm hoping he does.

If Hayden was able to achieve a 3rd place podium in Indianapolis, Stoner would of won the whole damn race.

Will be good to see Stoner back in the mix..... I think he'd be right up there again, that's if his corkscrew trauma is cured now.
