Casey Stoner to Honda deal rumored
Done deal or Italian media fantasy?
By Motorcycle.Com Staff, May. 11, 2010Italian motorcycle media reports Casey Stoner has accepted an offer to race for Repsol Honda in the 2011 MotoGP season.
According to Italy’s Sportmediaset, Stoner, currently in the final year of his contract with Ducati Marlboro, will replace Dani Pedrosa who is also in the final year of his contract with Repsol Honda.
No official announcement has been made, and the European motorcycle racing press has been known to report signings that turned out to be untrue. Last August, Spanish site Motocuatro reported Lorenzo had reached an agreement with Ducati. Instead, Lorenzo later re-signed with Fiat Yamaha.
Casey Stoner may be the first domino to fall for the 2011 MotoGP rider signings.
If Stoner does sign with Repsol Honda, he would be reunited with former Ducati team manager Livio Suppo who is now responsible for raising sponsorships with Honda. Stoner’s departure would open a seat with Ducati Marlboro, which would be a dream come true to the Italian media. Indeed, the Sportmedia report goes to greater length about a possible Rossi-Ducati union than Stoner and Honda.

As much as I love Ducati - and having an Aussie on a Ducati in MotoGP I would still support Casey if he moved to Honda - who knows it could be the beginning of a Doohanesque career! I will be torn - Ducati T-shirt with Honda pants at the Island??  |

There is enough love in this world to go around.   |

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

There could be an ounce of credability to it, at least maybe pre-lim talks.
Suppo always rated Casey and made him feel like part of the family when he came to Ducati.
He might not be feeling like the family is present at Honda. It probably hasn't since Jeremy went to Yamaha with Vale.
Dani to Yamaha with Lorenzo
Casey to Honda with Dovisioso
Vale to Ducati with Hayden just for shits and giggles for a year to sell a billion special edition bikes
Jeremy to retire and go live on the GC with Doohan.
I'll pack the crystal ball away now.
