Just to boast that Casey Stoner (Australia) has just won the American Moto GP for the second year running last Sunday riding a Honda.

Stoner is a phenomenal rider. He has been the only one who could get a handle on the notoriously difficult to ride Ducati. Long time wonder boy...."The Doctor" Val Rossi can't even beat Nicky Hayden on the Ducati. Val crashed out big time at the entrance to "The Corkscrew" on Sunday.
Stoner is what......26 years old.....and he's calling it quits after this season. Just walking away from it all.
He has the talent to at least equal Mick Doohan five championships in the big bikes, but it looks like that's a statistic we'll never see.
When Casey is hooked up, no one can touch him.......other than Lorenzo, of course, sometimes.
