Ever since Casey Stoner started flapping his gums and spouting opinions, his results have been slowly deteriorating.
Spies for MotoGP champion 2011!

That's more down to the issues the Repsol bike has with the new Bridgestones since they were introduced at Silverstone than Casey announcing his retirement.

We keep hearing that but Pedrosa has been right there the last few races.

Exactly. We saw plenty of mistakes by Stoner in the last couple of races but given pedrosa's results it would be a stretch to just blame it on the bike/tires..

These bike is are so knife edge, can be so finicky and difficult to get set up just right. The variables from track to track, changing conditions, new and different tire compounds all the time......getting it right is not easy. One thing wrong, just slightly off.......and yer off the pace......struggling to keep up. The bikes are so much more complicated......

NO stop signs, speed limit.........NOBODY gonna slow me down! - JPT #1

Conspiracy theory--the evil empire sez 'Fuck you Casey--you're not gonna be here next year! If Dani finishes the year in front of you it'll be a shot of confidence for him!'

That actually would not surprise me...

The only part that got up my nose was Stoner moaning about the marshals for his own poor performance.

Geeze, I was just starting to be neutral about the guy and then he blows it again.

STACY MOANER is a great nickname for him.

Just a footnote, if you want to do well, stay on track, if you come off you are the marshals bitch as you have failed, face it, cry a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT!!!

Okay I will bring back a quote from the past by our long departed Doctor.

Casey Stoner has............... LOST HIS WARRIOR SPIRIT! ;)

"There's only two types of guitarists around today. There are those who admit being influenced by Jimi Hendrix, and those who try to pretend they aren't. We will never again see anyone like him, and I was blessed and privileged to know him and have played with him for the time that I did."

One of the news releases in the past few days said that Casey would get a new engine for Laguna, but Pedrosa would get a whole new bike (2013 test mule, probably)
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.
