Apparently Stoner offered himself to replace Pedro, but Honda preferred other venues. Sorry, still in Italian ...

Yep, and no way HRC would say no IMO.

Tweet from Stoner:

Sorry to everyone but I am not racing @circuitamericas next weekend, it would have been an honour to ride for @26_DaniPedrosa #NotMeantToBe

Honda's best bet is to use a rider that gets them the most bike-development information, and that's not Stoner at this point in time.

If that's the case, why does HRC use stoner to test MM and Pedrosa bike in preparation for this year

I think they're crazy not to use Stoner if he's willing. I didn't think he would want to, but seems he does.  Shocked

I don't know how quickly he would be able to get back up to speed, but I'm pretty sure he'd be in the top 5 in the 1st race. Probably harassing for the win in the second race. No way Aoyama does either.

Translation...we don't want Stoner to potentially take points away from MM. Aoyama isn't capable of doing that.

Comparing Stoner to Bayliss is stupid. Bayliss had been out of the sport for like 8 years, and is much older. He also never rode a race-prepped 1199. One could also argue that the 1199 isn't even capable of winning...it has yet to do so with anyone on it. Stoner on the other and has only been out a couple years, is still young, has ridden the Honda, and the Honda is a good bike.

Same goes with comparisons to Schumaker. When he came back, his Mercedes didn't have any chance of winning no matter who was driving it.

+1

Yamaha is struggling with this since there is no clear #1 rider, they steal valuable championship points from one another. Livio did mentions "cons" which would include the "what if Stoner is faster than MM?"

The Turd knows exactly his place on the team. Imagine if Stoner were at least very competitive, do you not see MM willing to plow him over to get to the front?
