Stoner retires

Those who are so pleased about Stoner's retirement will get the championship they so richly deserve. I imagine it will involve Simon Cowell.
I feel indifferent about his decision. While he is pretty damn good on a bike, one rider doesn't make a race. Same applies to Rossi et al.
Someone will be along to fill his boots, there always is.

I was aiming for a slight at people who appear to value personality over talent.While he is pretty damn good on a bike, one rider doesn't make a race. Same applies to Rossi et al.

I dont understand why people think that Stoner has no personality, its a massive fail-acy. The guy is a brusque, no-nonsense take no prisoners Aussie. Perhaps he's a wker but I guarantee you that many wkers out there support Stoner because he is plain-spoken, tells it like it is, etc. Thats his personality. The idea that Rossi lovers love him because of his personality and Stoner fans love him for his racing alone is just utter bks
[not having a go at you Rawwr, just saying...]

I'm no Casey fan off track, but on track..the boy can ride. So on that basis, he will be missed.
Without repeating ad nauseam to what has already been said... Factors such as Simo, marriage, baby, and of course he has openly criticized the direction the class is going in, ie CRT, other possible future changes that further close the gap to WSB.
A 240+bhp MotoGP bike is no place to be if your focus is no longer 100%.
Good luck to him, I guess it will provide space for young talent to move up, MM.
Bayliss won on the Duke too.
