Good on him... 8)

I hope he grinds pedrosa into the ground.

It will be very interesting to see where everyone ends up,
I love silly season... :twisted:

WTF :shock:

It must be a marketing ploy to sell some Dukes to young followers of Stoner, rather than their usual old fart customers :shock: :lol:

So, young Casey goes to Ducati for a couple of years, scores a few million bucks, gets used to the Bridgestone's, meanwhile Kawasaki get their 800 sorted and then whammo Stoner goes to Kawasaki and wins a world championship.

It's really quite clear when you think about it.

..and yes Toto we will follow the Yellow Brick Road back to Kansas

Neka, hate 2 tell ya, but the shirt you own with a big green leaf on it that says, "I'm a stoner fan" has nothing to do with Casey & honda m8 :roll:

I hope he improves his DNF's and conquers the Duke.GO GO Casey 8)

Have to say good on him at least ducati have a bike thats up and running for him and arent afraid to chuck the dollers at it either.

Elias would have to be okay for a kwacka seat if they can pick him up after last nights performance ...... rear grip didnt seem to be a issue for him on the rhonda and it looked like racing to me not just a bunch of bikes doing parade laps.

Yet again good on casey stoner and i hope he bags a few wins. :D

I suppose a couple of million a year isn't bad for a lad just out of school... :wink:

Who would want to be caught dead on a kawasaki or suzuki moto gp bike?
Still i supposed someone has to make up the field.
Definately a bad career choice for Vermulan. :roll:

Great efffort Stoner but I hope he can stay upright enough to compete for the championship. The 800s should suit his 250 background better. I am still in disbelief over last night's Pedrosa incident. Unbelievable that Honda would not give orders to protect Hayden's backside.

say goodbye to the best looking (non-green) bike on the track... :cry:

i cant see ducati letting him have all his current sponsors and aussie flags and stuff.
it will be red, with some more red, oh and a bit of white to break the red up.

at least he'll have a hot to trot bike but :)
go son! or should i say brother!
