Casey Joel StonerAM(born 16 October 1985) is an Australian retired professionalmotorcycle racer,and a two-timeMotoGP World Champion,in2007and2011.During his MotoGP career, Stoner raced for the factory teams ofDucatiandHonda,winning a title for each team.

Born inSouthport, Queensland,Stoner raced from a young age and moved to theUnited Kingdomto pursue a racing career. After first competing internationally in 2002, Stoner becameMotoGP World Championin2007forDucati.One of Stoner's greatest talents was his ability to ride any motorcycle beyond its perceived limits, even winning races on the inferior Ducati after both Honda and Yamaha had forged ahead in development during his later racing years.[1]Stoner's 2007 title remained Ducati's only rider's championship untilFrancesco Bagnaia’s win in the premier class in 2022.[2]During 2008 and 2009 Stoner remained a strong contender, winning multiple races, but not being able to consistently challengeValentino RossiandYamahafor the title during those seasons. Stoner had a strong start to the 2009 season but had to miss three races due toChronic fatigue syndrome.In 2010, Ducati failed to challenge Yamaha and Honda until very late in the season, when Stoner went out on a winning note, winning three races.

After his departure from Ducati to Honda following the 2010 season, Stoner won a second world championship title in2011forRepsol Honda.The championship was won in a dominant fashion with ten Grand Prix wins and sealed by winning hishome racewith two races remaining. Prior to the2012 French Grand Prix,Stoner announced that he would retire from Grand Prix racing at the conclusion of the2012season.[3][4]Stoner was also the winner of his homeGrand Prix of Australiaon six consecutive occasions between 2007 and 2012. Due to a crash during practice atIndianapolis,Stoner missed several races due to injury, curtailing his championship challenge for his last season. He rounded off his MotoGP career with a remarkable sixth consecutive win in his home Grand Prix atPhillip Islandand with a podium in his final race.

On 27 March 2015,HRCannounced that Stoner would return to competition in a one-off ride in the 2015Suzuka 8 Hours.[5]Stoner crashed out of the race due to a stuck throttle, and Honda apologised to Stoner over the technical failure that caused him to injure his ankle and shoulder.[6]Stoner served as a test and development rider for former team Ducati from 2016 to 2018.[7]

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

From 2000 to 2002, Stoner contested the national 125cc GP championships in Britain and Spain, winning the English 125cc Aprilia Championship in 2000, before moving full-time to the 250cc GP World Championships in 2002. His season on anApriliaunder the guidance ofLucio Cecchinellowas turbulent, with no podium places from 15 race starts.

250cc World Championship

[edit]

In 2005, Stoner rejoined the 250cc world championship class, racing once again forLucio Cecchinello's teamon a worksAprilia.He emerged toward the season's end as a serious threat to championship leaderDani Pedrosa;a threat that only dissipated with a crash at Stoner's homeGrand PrixofPhillip Island,allowing Pedrosa to establish an insurmountable points lead. Stoner went on to claim a solid second place in the overall championship standings, with an impressive five race victories for the season.

MotoGP World Championship

[edit]

2006: Rookie season at LCR Honda

[edit]

In October 2005, Stoner, along withLucio Cecchinello's team,reportedly had an agreement to move to the MotoGP class in theupcoming seasonwith support fromYamaha.[8][9][10]After the season ended, he received an offer from theHonda Ponsteam and tested theHonda RC211Vbike with them atValencia.[11]However, in December 2005, Stoner re-signed withCecchinello's team after Honda Pons failed to secure sponsorship for the upcoming season.[12]The team then made an agreement withLCR Hondato run the RC211V for Stoner in 2006.[13]

As a rookie satellite rider, Stoner took the pole position in just his second MotoGP race, but crashed several times during the season. He finished in 8th position in the championship, with his best result being a second place at theTurkish Grand Prix.He was leading the race until he was overtaken on the final corner byMarco Melandri.

2007: Championship year with Factory Ducati

[edit]

Stoner secured a ride with theFactory Ducati Teamfor the2007season,[14]joiningLoris Capirossion the new 800ccDucati DesmosediciGP7. Stoner started off his Ducati career on a high note with a first premier-class win in theQataropener, after a tense battle withValentino Rossi.[15]Stoner took ten race wins and six pole positions (including winning three of the first four[16]), took him to his first GP title, by a margin of 125 points (equivalent to five victories) overDani Pedrosa,which he built during the second half of the season.[17]His worst finish was a 6th place atMotegi,[18]which was all he needed to clinch the title that day, taking the first premier class title for an Italian or a non-Japanese manufacturer sincePhil Read'stitle forMV Agustain1974.[19]Stoner was namedYoung Australian of the Yearfor his 2007 performance.[20]

2008: Six wins and runner-up season

[edit]

In 2008, Stoner took the #1 decal on his bike. Stoner opened the 2008 season with a victory atQatar,[21]before a run of two races without a podium. He returned to the podium with a second place atMugello,before starting a run of seven successive pole positions.[22]He turned three of them into successive victories—a lights-to-flag win at Donington,[23]leading every lap atAssensix days later,[24]and recovering from a huge Friday crash atSachsenring[25]to win in the wet afterDani Pedrosacrashed,[26]moving to within 20 points of the championship lead. However, successive crashes while fighting for the lead atMazda Raceway Laguna Seca(where he remounted to finish second toValentino Rossi),[27]BrnoandMisanoensured that he could not defend the title successfully.[28][29]Stoner finished the 2008 season with six wins and was runner-up to Rossi with 280 points, the highest number of points ever gained without taking the title at the time.[30]

2009: Health issues and Ducati struggles

[edit]

Stoner remained with Ducati for the 2009 season with new teammateNicky Hayden,with a further option for a 4th season in 2010.[31]A strong start to the season left Stoner in a three-way battle with the Fiat Yamaha duo of Rossi andJorge Lorenzo,before he was struck by a mystery illness which caused him to feel tired long before the end of races, leaving him 16 points behind Rossi and 7 behind Lorenzo after the US Grand Prix at Laguna Seca on 5 July.

Stoner was initially diagnosed withanaemiaand an inflammation of the stomach lining.[32]Stoner later disputed the diagnosis, however, and, after continuing to struggle with the condition, he announced on 10 August 2009 that he would miss rounds 11, 12 and 13 in Brno, Indianapolis and Misano, respectively, in an attempt to recover from the illness, he was subsequently diagnosed aslactose intolerant.[33]Mika Kalliowas chosen as Stoner's replacement for the three races.[34]Stoner returned to racing late in the 2009 season, placing second in the Portuguese Grand Prix and an emphatic first in the Australian Grand Prix, which he led throughout.[35]At interview following the Australian Grand Prix, Stoner said that he experienced none of the premature tiredness that had dogged him earlier in the 2009 season. He followed this up with another first place in the wet at the Malaysian Grand Prix.[36]At the last round of 2009 at Valencia, Stoner dominated all practice and qualifying sessions to take pole, only to crash on cold tyres on thewarm-up lapand miss the race.[37]Stoner ended the season with four victories, and eight podiums in total, leading to a fourth-place finish in the riders' championship.

2010: Last season riding the Ducati

[edit]

At the test held immediately following the Valencia round, Stoner was once again fastest while testing the new 2010 version of the Desmosedici. However, Rossi was fastest in five of the six pre-season tests. Stoner qualified on pole for the season opener in Qatar, and was leading the race when he crashed out, later acknowledging that this was his own mistake.[38]He also crashed out of round 3 atLe Mans,this time attributing the crash to the front of the bike unloading when not running at maximum pace.[39]His first podium of the year came atAssen,despite struggling witharm pumplate in the race.[40]

It was not until the thirteenth race of the season, the inauguralAragon Grand Prix,that Stoner achieved his first victory.[41]His victory in Aragon started a run of three victories in four races, as he also won the delayedJapanese Grand Prix,[42]and won for the fourth consecutive year atPhillip Island.[43]He eventually finished fourth in the riders' championship once again. With Rossi having fallen out of favour with Yamaha following Lorenzo's championship-winning season and Honda no longer willing to play second fiddle to another Japanese manufacturer, an intense game of musical chairs ensued in the MotoGP paddock that saw several of the top riders switch teams, Stoner among them. For 2011, Stoner joinedHonda Racing Corporationafter four years atDucati Corse,[44]where he was replaced byValentino Rossi.

2011: Return to Honda with the factory team and second championship

[edit]
Stoner at the2011 Czech Grand Prix

Stoner raced with theRepsol HondaRacing Team in2011,with teammatesDani PedrosaandAndrea Dovizioso.In preseason testing inMalaysia,Stoner was quickest in all three sessions,[45]closely followed by Pedrosa and reigning world championJorge Lorenzo.Stoner won the season-opening race inQatarfrom pole position,[46]and had been quickest in each of the free practice sessions held before qualifying. Stoner took pole position for theSpanish Grand Prix,but had been running second behindMarco Simoncelliin wet conditions. Valentino Rossi attempted an overtake on Stoner from a long way back and crashed, taking him down as well.[47][48]After the race, when Rossi came to his garage to apologise for the incident, Stoner replied with the now-famous line, "Obviously your ambition outweighed your talent.[49]Stoner won three out of the first five rounds of the season, with victories inLe Mans[50]and Catalunya to add to his Qatar victory. Stoner added victories atSilverstonein damp conditions,[51]andLaguna Seca,[52]to hold a 20-point lead overJorge Lorenzowith eight races to go in the season.

Stoner proposed boycotting theJapanese Grand Prixout of fears for his health from radiation from theFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant[citation needed]even though all the independent scientific experts including theWorld Health OrganizationandAustralian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agencystated that it is safe to live permanently 80 km (50 mi) or more from the plant.[53]

Stoner won the World Championship for the second time at his home round atPhillip Island,Australia.[54]On his 26th birthday, Stoner won his ninth race of the season from his eleventh pole, and with his only challengerJorge Lorenzoruled out of the race due to a hand injury suffered in warm-up, Stoner finished the weekend with an unassailable 65-point lead. His victory in the Australian MotoGP was his fifth in succession in his home race dating back to 2007 which made him the only rider to have won at Phillip Island during the 800cc era of MotoGP. He also was the only rider other thanMarc Márquezor Lorenzo in the premier class to have won the championship in the 2010s.

2012: Final season before retirement

[edit]

Stoner started the season with wins at Jerez,[55]and Estoril,[56]both tracks he had not won a MotoGP race at before; his victory in Estoril allowed him to take the championship lead. By finishing fourth at theCatalan Grand Prix,Stoner finished off the podium for the first time in fourteen months.[57]He won theDutch TTatAssento move back level on points with Lorenzo, who was taken out byÁlvaro Bautistaon the first lap.[58]This put Stoner even in points with Lorenzo before a final-lap retirement at theSachsenring,while battling teammate Dani Pedrosa.[59]Stoner finished only eighth at theItalian Grand Prixafter running off-circuit, later describing that he was "not comfortable" on the bike,[60]but followed that up with a fourth win of the season at Laguna Seca.[61]

At the next race, Stoner crashed heavily during the qualifying session for theIndianapolis Grand Prix,suffering torn ligaments in his ankle but was declared fit to race the following day.[62]He finished fourth in the race, 2.5 seconds behind third-placedAndrea Dovizioso.[63]Stoner then elected to have surgery on his ankle, ruling him out of action for three races which essentially put him out of contention for the championship.[64][65]Stoner's priority then was to be fully recovered for his home race in Australia, and he was slated to return at theJapanese Grand Prixin October.[66]Upon returning, he finished fifth in Japan and third in Malaysia, before winning his home race for the sixth successive season atPhillip Island.The win gave him an undefeated record on Bridgestone tyres at the circuit.[67]

Retirement

[edit]

On 17 May 2012, during the pre-event press conference at theFrench Grand Prix,Stoner announced that he would retire from MotoGP at the end of the2012season.[3][4]Stoner stated that he no longer enjoyed competing in the series, which was one of the contributing factors to his retirement.[68]Getting away from the political stress of MotoGP, as well as having a desire to spend more time leisurely with his family were further reasons for his retirement. In a June 2014 interview, Stoner said he was enjoying his life away from the sport with his family and had no regrets about his retirement, further dismissing any chances of a comeback.[69]

Status and personality

[edit]

Stoner showed signs of feeling under-appreciated by the general public. He was angered by consistent suggestions that the bike and tyres had a bigger role in his success than he did,[70]and unhappy at being booed at Donington in 2007 and 2008.[71]

In August 2008 he was criticised for his former Ducati team's association with tobacco companyPhilip Morris.[72]

Stoner has stated that he would prefer to shun the limelight and let his riding style do the talking. In an interview with Australian Motorcycle News, he was quoted as saying he would prefer a return to purer form of racing from the 500cc days, stating that "Back in those days, it was just racing—Doohan, Rainey, Schwantz, Gardner, Lawson—not half as much bullshit as now. That was the life."

Before the2012 Australian Grand Prix,thePhillip Island Grand Prix Circuitnamed the third corner "Stoner Corner".

After retirement

[edit]

V8 Supercars

[edit]

After announcing his retirement from MotoGP, rumours persisted throughout the year that Stoner would debut in touring car racing in 2013; specifically the AustralianV8 Supercarsseries. Such a switch is a rare but not unprecedented move; as fellow Australian world motorcycling championWayne Gardnerretired from motorcycle racing in 1992 and made his touring car debut the following year. The rumours intensified when V8 Supercars teamTriple Eight Race Engineeringannounced that Red Bull; a long-term sponsor of Stoner, would be the major sponsor of the team from 2013 onwards, replacing Vodafone. After numerous denials, in January 2013, Stoner announced that he would indeed move to touring car racing on a one-year contract with Triple Eight Race Engineering. Stoner would race in the second tierDunlop V8 Supercar Seriesfor the2013 season.[73]

On 27 February 2013, two days before his debut at theAdelaide Street Circuit,Stoner unveiled his car, sponsored byRed Bulland Pirtek. His car would be aHolden VE Commodore,the same car that was driven to victory in the2010 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000byMark SkaifeandCraig Lowndes.[74]His cameo season was unsuccessful, finishing in the mid-field most races with a highest finish of 5th atQueensland Raceway.He finished the season 18th in the standings with 704 points.

Testing for Repsol Honda

[edit]

In 2013, Stoner signed with Honda as a test rider to aid in the development of new machinery on a limited basis through to the end of the 2014 season. He renewed his contract again in 2015 for another season of test riding through to January 1, 2016.[75]

Return to motorcycle racing

[edit]

Suzuka 8 Hours

[edit]

After three years retired from MotoGP, on 27 March, HRC announced that Casey Stoner was to return to motorcycle racing in 2015. In July, Stoner competed at theSuzuka 8 Hourswhere he rode theHonda CBR1000RR.His teammates wereWorld SuperbikeriderMichael van der Markand MFJ All Japan Road Race JSB100 Championship andHRCtest riderTakumi Takahashi.The team qualified for the race in fourth position. With his team leading the race, Stoner suffered a violent crash due to a throttle malfunction which forced him to dump his bike into a guard barrier. The crash saw their race come to an end.

Stoner suffered a broken right scapula and a fractured left tibia as a result of the accident.[76]Stoner commented on the crash, "I didn't have enough time to engage the clutch [when the throttle stuck]. I picked the bike up to try to slow down but I was heading towards the wall so I decided to lay it over and hit the barrier. Unfortunately the barriers were a lot harder than they looked and we came out of it with broken bones." Honda investigated the bike and discovered that the throttle mechanism had been defective and was stuck open at 26 degrees before the crash.[77]Honda officially apologised to Stoner for the mechanical failure.[78]

Proposed MotoGP Fill-in

[edit]

AfterRepsol Honda Teamcompleted the2015 Qatar Grand Prix,Dani Pedrosa,Honda's 2015 MotoGP rider had to have surgery to treat the compartment syndrome (arm pump) in his right forearm. This would mean that Pedrosa would miss the next two consecutive races,Austinand theArgentine.Stoner offered to fill in for Pedrosa for these two events. However, HRC Vice President Shuhei Nakamoto and Repsol Honda team manager Livio Suppo decided against using Stoner because they did not have a motorcycle specifically set up for Casey, they also said that Casey was unfamiliar withCircuit of the AmericasandAutódromo Termas de Río Hondoand they wanted him to be as competitive as possible. Stoner was disappointed as he tweeted, "Sorry to everyone but I am not racing@circuitamericasnext weekend it would have been an honour to ride for@26_DaniPedrosa#NotMeantToBe. "And," Bummer I'm not racing, no prep needed as I wasn't planning on winning, just replacing a good friend and having some fun in Texas! "Instead, Repsol Honda chose HRC test riderHiroshi Aoyamato replace Dani Pedrosa.[79][80][81]

Return to Ducati

[edit]

In 2016 Casey Stoner returned to theDucati CorseTeam as a test rider for the2016 MotoGP season,ending his five-year tenure withHonda.Stoner's main role with Ducati is being a test rider and it has been further proposed that he may appear in some races as a wild card entry.[82]Stoner participated in the official pre-season tests at Malaysia and was the fastest Ducati rider on the grid. He finished the final day of testing with the 5th-best time overall.[83]

Later on in April, Stoner considered racing at the Argentine Grand Prix to fill in for the injuredDanilo Petruccibut decided not to. Ducati manager Luigi dall'Igna commented that Stoner's physical fitness was yet not at the level needed to compete and added that, "[Casey] has also had some physical problems, he still lacks strength. It wouldn't make any sense to enter him in a race [at this point]. Mid-way through the season, we'll see."[84]Ultimately he did not compete that season.

Honours

[edit]

Stoner was named the 2008Young Australian of the Yearfor his 2007 MotoGP performance.[20]In the2013 Queen's Birthday Honours,Stoner was appointed aMember of the Order of Australia(AM) for significant service to motorcycle racing.[85]

The FIM named him a Legend in October 2013 prior to the2013 Australian motorcycle Grand Prix.[86]

In October 2015, he was inducted into theSport Australia Hall of Fame.[87]

The third turn atPhillip Island Grand Prix Circuitis named after him.

Personal life

[edit]

Stoner met Adriana Tuchyna fromAdelaidewhen she approached him atPhillip Islandin 2003 and asked him to sign her stomach.[88]A relationship began in 2005 when she turned 16,[89]and they were married in Adelaide on 6 January 2007.[90]At theCzech Republic Grand Prixin August 2011, Stoner announced that his wife was pregnant with their first child.[91][92]The baby, named Alessandra Maria, was born on 16 February 2012,[93]the same birthday as Stoner's long-time rivalValentino Rossi.On 6 October 2017, their second daughter Caleya Maria's birth was announced by Stoner on social media.[94]

Stoner wore sponsored protective gear from Spidi between2002and2005,andAlpinestarsbetween2006and2012.After announcing his retirement from MotoGP, Stoner still wore sponsored gear from Alpinestars, between his debut of the AustralianV8 Supercarsin 2013 and associated with the HRC with the tests of development new machinery forHonda RC213V.Following his experience of tiredness and sickness during 2009, Stoner was ultimately diagnosed aslactose intolerant.[95]

In 2019, Stoner revealed he was living withchronic fatigue syndrome(CFS), also known asmyalgic encephalomyelitis(ME).[96]In 2020, Stoner became an ambassador for Emerge Australia, an advocacy and support organisation for CFS/ME.[97][98]In 2022, Stoner revealed that he suffered severe anxiety and mental distress during his MotoGP career. He described laying on the motorhome floor between sessions being massively depressed, "wanting to die", and being afraid he would let his team down if he did not win every race. The anxiety was worse "the better the weekend he had" on the bike.[99]He also revealed that he got aware and better at 'managing' his condition as he got older.[99]He also suspected a link between his mental health crises and the chronic fatigue that developed during his career, although a formal link had yet to be medically evidenced.[99]
