The first title of World Champion Casey Stoner in MotoGP was acquired with Ducati. Then he left for Honda to find his second before retiring in 2012. From there, his first position as ambassador and test rider was with the winged coat of arms, missions which he then declined at Ducati by doing his reunion with the brand. Like a perpetual pendulum movement, the announcement of the end of his adventure in red launched the rumor of a comeback at HRC. Fantasy? Maybe not because Alberto puig leave the door open!
Casey Stoner walked behind the scenes at Honda between 2012 and 2016 then those at Borgo Panigale from 2016 to the end of the year. And now ? Why not join Lorenzo next to Marquez. A trio which alone brings together ten crowns in the premier category…
A set of aces that would not be denied Alberto Puig, the HRC team manager… “ Rumors are rumors... But Casey has had a good relationship in the past with Honda. He won a title with the brand. And you know very well that I also had a long close relationship with him. He's a truly special driver. And it would be interesting for us. And of course, letting him try our bikes would always be helpful for everyone ».
The ball is now in the Australian’s court…
