Those who are so pleased about Stoner's retirement will get the championship they so richly deserve. I imagine it will involve Simon Cowell.

Someone will be along to fill his boots, there always is.

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.
