YES, what they are referring to is the customer purchase racing RC213V without Pnuematic valves and Seamless Shift gearbox and a different ECU package. Supposedly they will also come with Nissin brakes and Showa suspension....
They actually made mention of a possible road going, V4 equipped GP replica that would sell at an unspecified premium. I'd want mine with a Sic paint job. |

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I can understand some of the other commemorative bikes, like the MH900 or the Paul Smart, but c'mon, Casey is the epitome of the non-team-player....this is too much like merchandising Spaceballs memorabilia...

Haha, funny Steve.
To see Stoner and Marquez racing against each other would be epic, though Casey is out of practice. Marquez would be quite a challenge to beat.

I hear the mechanics where worried about a high pitched whining noise coming from the bike as it went round the track, then they remembered it was Stoner riding  Alan H PS: we all love Casey Moaner here in the UK  |

He has complained about his media and sponsor commitments and wants to have an entire season off before deciding whether or not he will resume his two-wheel career or have another crack in a V8. Imagine that.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

At least on 2 wheels he was pretty much unstoppable if he wasn't injured. I believe he probably thought that he would have to deal less with the media or that they were going to treat him better at home. Now he understands that the media will be douches anywhere, so why not go back to getting a huge paycheck?

Think Repsol would allow HRC to can Pedro if Stoner came back?

I think the team up of Stoner and Marquez will be too close to having the ultimate dream team for any sponsor to not support. The question is that with at least 2 yrs of Stoner not on the bike vs 2 yrs of seasoning for Marquez... will Stoner be able to keep up with him? |

Maybe Audi might court him? Talk about a big cheque and humble pie.
Most likely phone calls from Livio/Honda though.

I don't see any way that Stoner would ever sign back with Ducati.

You're right, in his mind they burned him pretty bad.
They only now realise what they had, or at least Audi realizes.
I think Honda learned a lesson from Rossi divorcing them, but Ducati didnt take note. Ducati ended up with more corporate stubborness than Honda and its cost them dearly with public humiliation.
I hope Audi changes that culture.
