Stoner retires
Discussion
I've always liked his honesty in this regard. He says that there have been things he liked and things he didn't in racing, but the balance has now flipped and he has lost his passion. A good time to get out I think. It must take balls to walk away from the only thing you have ever known though.
He's still only a nipper FFS. If he's saying he has no passion for it then probably right. I suspect that would give Dani Pedrosa one last chance next year to be World Champ or Adios for him.
Which would leave 2 seats vacant- with one to be filled by M Marcuez & the other for....... the ultimate comeback of Rossi on a Honda RCV :
Followed by, even better,? Bayliss onto the Ducati???

fair play to him for putting his family first(although he'll probably be back), guess things like Simoncelli would really put your family, life into perspective.
I don't get why everyone thinks this is now an opportunity for Rossi, he should be the one retiring.
Because there were no spare seats on a factory Honda for next year as it was expected that Repsol Honda would re-sign Pedrosa and Stoner. There is now a spare seat and people will automatically link any factory seat with Rossi.I don't get why everyone thinks this is now an opportunity for Rossi, he should be the one retiring.
