Casey Stoner announces retirement from Moto GP
motogp.com · Stoner announces retirement at end of 2012
Just saw this on Facebook, Quite a shock as he is so young but I guess being a new Dad and having to spend so much time away from his family would be hard. Thoughts? |

Many athletes, actors, businessmen etc have to spend alot of time away from family, and manage fine. So I do think that's a factor, like he said, he isn't enjoying it anymore- to be honest I think he is probably a bit bored of it also.
I'd be willing to put money on seeing Stoner in a V8 Supercar within the next few seasons. He's spent quite alot of time around them, and I believe he even did some testing with team Vodafone. |

Sad to hear. Hope he goes out as World Champion.

I would say probably a combination of factors, family, maybe boredom too.
He's been on the circuit since he was what, 16?

So your posting off topic as per usual?
Either way Stoner has done what he set out to achieve & is still able to walk normally & both wrists still work!...unlike others before him. I hope he goes to tin tops to mix it up a bit.

I agree with you that retiring is the smart thing to do while Stoner still has his health mostly intact, although you should see the Rossi fanboys going off about how he's a quitter on MotoGP forums - he's been the Antichrist ever since he beat Rossi fair and square. Was the reason I called bullshit on Teejay as Stoner has been copping the whiner tag from the Rossi fanboys for years because he calls it how he sees it.

I think his dodgy wrist has something to do with it to.
Cant get the strength back into it anymore.
