Stoner to retire

[nobby]

Casey stoner has announced he will retire at the end of the season.
Didn't expect that.

[Brewskie]

What? He's hardly been in GP really, must be a reason for this

[Adam F]

Must be his 6th or 7th season, but he hasn't been the most healthy rider..

Shame though...

[nobby]

Who will get the Honda ride next year then?

[Adam F]

Vale? Would be his best bet for a decent last result...

wonder if Crutchlow knows?

Be the wife nagging him how dangerous it is and he has a child to care for now

He's had a lot of issues with arm pump that he hasn't seemed to be able to resolve.

I wonder if Honda would want Dovi back ?

Rossi always used to do well on the Honda, shame he's not doing so great at the minute though ?

You wouldn't mind getting nagged at by her. She's Bang Tidy .

I think the only option for Honda is Marc Marquez.

[fidspeed]

Maverick Vinales (probably spelt it wrong cos i'm a dunce)

The lad's done alright for himself - wish I could have retired at 26!!
Going to be a big loss to the paddock though, and the aussies now only have Anthony West in moto2 as a full time rider. I have read that Chris Vermulen has replaced the injured Colin Edwards though on the Suter CRT.
