Casey Stoner retired young. Why?

[BoristheBiter]

there are a couple of TV series about young motocrossers, and thier family, the commitment required,

they are on youtube, inside the outdoors, and Supercross Behind the dream

That would have to be one of the best doco series i have seen.
Puts it all the pressure into perspective.

Lol. And the others don't? How's Cruthlows comments this season? Swapping tyre brands mid season ring any bells too? He's a huge loss to the sport, and never seeing him go head to head with MM is one of the worst bits.

yup sure they all whine - but they dont all leave when they dont get their own way.
Agree that not getting to see him and MM battle is shit!

Maybe not. But Rossi threatened to! And Stoner didn't leave because he didn't get his own way mate. He'd simply had enough. What's wrong with that? Least he didn't throw in the towel 1/3 way into the season because he got hurt like Schwantz. Would've been really easy for him to have done the same after mashing his ankle to bits at Indy! But no...he raced with a severe injury that'd cripple most cunts Doohan style and came back to win more races before quitting. Only cunt I've never seen/heard whinge so far is MM. But looks like we ain't ever gonna see him vs Stoner. Poos to that!

This is the best most sensible thoughts on the subject I have ever read about this topic and comes in the middle of the discussion regarding his up bringing from his parents.



" The fact that he left when he did makes me wonder if he lived their dream, or his dream. I have to think it if was his dream, he would still be doing it.

I can't fathom not racing a motorcycle. I have had plenty of good excuses/reasons for walking away, but i can't. It is almost like it is a part of me. And it costs me a lot of my own money. Stoner was getting paid millions to do it, and one could say his reasons for leaving were weak.

His reasons for quitting were things that somebody like me/us would just laugh at and go on, because we don't want to quit. But if he was living somebody else's dream, then those reasons are good enough for him to justify quitting."


I guess at least he made his parents as well as himself extremelly rich financually.



A Talking heads song something to do with " Burning down the house" springs to mind for some reason here Pritch.

Casey left MotoGP...because he had such enormous talent and skill, whinny attention seeking cocks like Shaun Harris et al, who bitched about him for years and years [like you have Shaun...among the shit you bitch about]...bitched about him so much he got sick of it.. Because they could not handle his vast skill [that he could back up] and his no tolerance of motorbike tall poppy syndrome bullshit. Why would put up with that shit?? He would be the only racer that would be able to be close to MM [not saying he would be better]...

I find this thread such a crock of crap because of your attitude towards him in the past and your attitude to any talented rider in this country that wants nothing to do with you...

I do think you to a great job of the ones you work with though.

He left cause he wanted to.... Its a fucken free world aint it? Fuck, it had been his life for the past 10 odd years..... I'd be over it at that stage with having to deal with two faced prima donnas like Rossi etc

Regardless... Have you not seen his wife???? Why the fuck would you go anywhere with that in the sack beside ya. Sure beats Uccio

He gave up because he couldn't handle being a pro racer any more, simple as that. He sure has some talent but I don't miss him, 2014 is plenty exciting and I sure don't miss his attitude

Didnt stoner walk away crying half way through a season and miss 3-4 races? Claimed he had become lactose intolerant overnight more or less when he decided to come back or something . . .

Lol. You need to get your anti Stoner goggles off bro. You're looking a bit G.A.Y.

He came back and won a world championship.

resorting to personal insults? lame. Just pointed out that he DID leave mid season, after you pointed others out for the same.
never doubted his talent, but im entitled to think he's a cunt, just as youre entitled to like him. Great, awesome rider, but a cock.

yep he did - as above was just pointing out an error in the above fanboy's earlier post

Fuck off. If I wanted to resort to personal insults you'd see far fruitier language! Stoner never left mid season. He was seriuosly ill. He got himself sorted and came back. Is there something wrong with that? Seriously. Are you that anti that you can't see the truth? And I assume you're calling me a *fanboi*?

Yes? What do Rossi's nuts taste like? Poos?

[Tazz]

The dude who has been top checkout operator at the local Woolworths for the last 4 months in a row quit last week. Think I might go nuts publicly and try and pressure him back into his job...

Fawk ever being a sports 'professional' with all this crap floating around in the wings. It's a wonder more don't quit. He's just a dude doing whatever makes him happiest at this point in time in his life. Good on him as I'm sure it's taken a fair amount of work to be in a position to do so =)

Have a google. You can pretty much become lactose intolerant at any time in your life, and yes it can completely mess your body up as you try and figure out WTF is going wrong with it.
You can hold whatever opinion you like on how bad it could be, but it is something that does happen.

O yea that's write I forgot he gets on here reads the crap WE all do spout on occasions, ( Yep I have said I do not like him, Must have been in similar threads where I have also said Dam he is special fast) sorry Casey My Bad hope your spirit has not been badly dented buddy.

Also best I get in touch with the talented ones I do help then and let them know you reminded me that they do not actually want any real advise from some one that has the history knoledge and contacts for them to use to go forward with, ( Best for them to just ask an arm chair expert that has read this and that and quote (well without quoting) if ya know what I mean as well as cancell the booking to help a real star ( I think he is) work on his riding style. Would hate for them to waste a dollar on me when they could have the internet for free buddy.

Funny how some people hold grudges in life eh to the extent they can spend another 5 minutes typing some thing negative once again years after the first instance real horse had bolted and under the pretence that they really have a genuine concern.

Seriously though, Thankyou very much for the compliment it means so much coming from you Ryan, hope your relationship and work are going well for you.

How sad to see a thread dedicated to racing motorbikes ( what we all dream of doing ) being dragged down to personal insults.

Any professional rider who quits at any stage does it for reasons best known to himself. There has been many drivers/riders whos personality I couldn't cotton to, ( Stoner was one ) but I've always admired and respected their skills.

Anyone who goes racing gives me a lot of enjoyment. As a kid at the Ardmore Grand Prix I used to feel sorry for the racer who came last. Now, I'd give anything to be finishing last on a motorbike.

I have today off, so I'm riding my scooter out to Oparua later to watch the Enduro racing. Dont know any body competing, but it's watching and listening to motorbikes all day. Gotta be good.
