Casey Stoner has been ruled out for the next 3 MotoGP's with a mystery illness.
Not many further details than that have been released. I imagine it has something to do with the
previous reports we have heard about his not being able to get through an entire race.
So I have emailed the factory/team/president/supporters club/Nicky/Valentino and my Mum
offering my services for the gap in the program, stating my experience on the track (6 days at EC) plus one drive
day at PI. I have also said there is no need for monetary compensation for my services and that all I require is
a special addition edition S4Rs/M1100s to be made in my honour for qualifying middle/rear of the field and racing to
the similar places during my stint with the factory team.
I have yet heard back but I know I will be near to the top of the list of replacements.

Bugger! Back in Oz for the break and his doc's said to stay still. Matty, you could have a chance against Nicky, but he's been improving slightly of late. On 2nd thoughts, I think your chance just disappeared! ps. what was that email address you sent to ?  |

but seriously:
this means the so called medical experts in the states absolutely botched that prognosis....or we (the public) we're fed utter crap.
you certainly don't go out for 6 weeks for a mild bit of gastro....let's just come clean and say the doctors have NFI (and I'm not talking about our favourite importers/distributors either).
and anything that you give a round of anti-biotics should be cleared by now...
what's the advantage of saying "yeah, we know what it is" if you don't?

Man, the only way I'd volunteer for a GP is if they changed the format to a really, really long, straight track: go 11kms that way, U-turn,.repeat. Damn shame about Stoner. They'll have had him on antibiotics, but a lot of stuff out there now is resistant. Or it could be a virus.  |
