Casey Stoner Quotations

Even in motocross, youre struggling to see people pass each other anymore. There seems to be one line in motocross.

I have broken my collarbone twice in a year.

It will be difficult to return to racing this weekend after Marco's terrible accident in Sepang but I think it is the best thing we can do to honour him,” says World Champ Casey Stoner. We know we all play a risky game and, even if compared to the past the safety of our sport is much better, unfortunately these kind of events still occur. We will go out there this weekend and try to put on a good show for all the fans and especially in memory of Marco.

I'm very thoughtful, and when I make a decision I usually stick to it.

I think I dont really have any expectations; I dont look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.

I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.

There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and thats what I enjoy the most.

People can be great competitors on Sunday and mates on Monday.

Your ambition outweighed your talent

Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up.

There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and that's what I enjoy the most.

I have been interested in V8s for a long time.

I have been going from one racetrack to another for years, since I was 14.

I can only do what I can do.

I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again.

I think I don't really have any expectations; I don't look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.

Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

The start was great and I felt really comfortable out front and just concentrated on doing my own thing, but as the fuel got lighter I wasn't able to up the pace as I lost some rear grip. My physical condition was also a factor today and I wasn't feeling 100%.

I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.

People are telling me I might be going back to MotoGP, but a rumour is a rumour.

The money doesn't interest me. I'm not enjoying MotoGP, and I'm retiring.

That was about as close to a win as I could have got.

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.

I'm good at separating my personal life from racing. When I'm at track, it's race time; when I'm away from it, other than the fact I'm training to be fit for it, there is nothing at home that makes me even want to think about racing. I just want to enjoy my life, and by the time the next race comes around, I'm ready and excited for it.

I lasted about 10 laps before the cramp hit my left leg. I knew I was only to last so long and at the end my whole body felt weak.

I made a lot of good laps and was very consistent today. I felt very happy because I was very fast on my home track. But when I put on a new tyre unfortunately I slid off into the gravel trap. But I have to say the whole day was quite positive for us.

I never really look too far ahead, to be honest.

In 2007, people tried to belittle me a little bit and sort of take the credit away from me and my team and what we achieved.

Hopefully I'll be back on the track as soon as possible because we have a lot of work to do before the start of the season.
