Love him or hate him, it is interesting to read what he has to say about Moto Gp
I for one cant wait to see him in the V8 Dunlop Series. (and at the enduros if he is good enough)
www.news.com.au/sport/motorsport/casey-a-legend-on-l-plates/news-story/b10b0f598acfaa5aeef3c27af1bacb78IS it any wonder Stoner has departed Moto GP?
Spat at, attempts by fans to push him off his scooter and treated with disrespect by both MotoGP officials, Stoner said suggestions he quit because of injuries or his family.
"Injuries weren't any part of why or retired, or that I wanted to do new things," Stoner said. "Family wasn't a part of it either. I just fell out of love with the sport. We had a lack of respect from a lot of people around the sport and I didn't like the direction it was taking.
"We got spat at (by fans), they tried to knock us off scooters going from the motor homes to the pits, everything like that. Unfortunately they didn't like my honesty in the paddock.
"That was part of it, but more it was the direction of the sport.
"We lost a rider a couple of years ago (Marco Simoncelli) and with in a month it was like it never happened. They want to see biff and barge and they don't realise our lives are on the line.
"We became puppets in that world and it had nothing to do with racing."
