I would love to see Casey racing again.

Huge fan and would be amazing to watch his exciting style pushing the limits of a fire breathing desmosedici once again.

I've always said it's not a popularity contest and to be fair we can all moan and the media spins things alot to make story's.

I let him do his talking on circuit.

I notice he is adamant he will not race anymore than a few wildcards...

It seems in the interview he did for MCN that Marquez and Stoner dont see eye to eye at all.

The only thing Stoner likes is the sound of his own voice.

Marquez saw Casey as a threat at Honda. Hence he was nt allowed to sub for Pedrosa at Austin as he had tested their on the development RCV and was quicker than Dani and had very strong race pace. Marquez veto'd it.

There's no way Stoner would have beaten Dani the way he was on form at the end of the year.

Apparently at Austin where he wanted to stand in his race pace was better than Dani's

Yes Pedrosa didn't race and Stoner asked to wild card in his place but senior Honda mamagement blocked it and Hirosha Ayoama stood in for Dani instead.

Ayoama came 11th in the race and Marquez won so the RCV was definitely competitive.
