I don't know - while his life since hasn't exactly looked like it fell into place like he'd hoped after retirement (from my viewpoint on the other side of the world and several orders of magnitude removed from anything remotely resembling a "fact"), it's pretty clear that Stoner hated life on the full time racing circuit. His testing gig seems pretty much to his liking, and if he gets a chance to wildcard into a race or two, I have to imagine he'd be satisfied.

Hell, let's just smoke the whole doobie.

Ducati wins Suzuka 2016 with Stoner, Dovi, and Iannone.
You heard it here first.

I hadn't really processed the wildcard aspect, but saw it noted elsewhere....

Casey wildcard at PI.
Just think about that for a minute, let it sink in.

You're on a roll right now Nick.

And I like where you're going with it.

Right after that's confirmed, Tea Leoni's limo will stop at the curb to whisk me away for a life of ... debauchery.

Thx, Kopf!   waytogo

Good lord, it'd be the best ever.
Persuade MM to not be all argy bargy, just a clean duel.

Even better, MM races like he always does (barring this last race  Roll Eyes) and trades paint with Casey at PI. This pisses Casey off enough so that he comes back full time. Stoner also blames his lack of speed on Iannone hitting another bird in post race press conference.

But yeah... I'm sure that Dovi just got more than a little bit worried with this new rumor.

+1 for a reality where Casey is on a Duc at PI. Hopefully after testing a few times, and a previous throw away wildcard to get into the swing  Wink

The grass is always greener. Maybe Casey has not enjoyed retirement. Maybe his wife is tired of listening to him whine about Rossi and his lactose intolerance.

+1. Even if our assumptions end up going nowhere, if I were Dovi, I would still be very worried. He better show some results or else could end up on a satellite bike or test mule for KTM ala Bautista with Aprilia.

Barring Stoner coming back to ride for Duc in 2017, I think that he might be a pretty good development rider for Duc. MM won 2 championships in a row on Stoner's bike and one of the reasons he's leaving the Honda fold is because they didn't listen to him about the aggressive engine on this years bike. That being said, he was also on the development team of the Honda customer bike but the complaints there seemed to be more of lack of horsepower as opposed to handling.

I wonder if Race Direction is going to do that by being a bit more liberal with penalty points next season. They need to IMO. Hard racing and bumping is one thing, but desperation bump passes are another.
