MOTOGP » Stoner 'run down' as mystery sickness returns

Let me say first of all i find it really embarrassing putting up this post. But in the light of some of the things been said and also in the hope that most people will see and appreciate the joke here goes.When i first saw the headline at the top of this comments page i found myself reading it as "Stoner run down by Mercedes " and thought well that would explain his absence from the press conference and also i bet it had something to do with him driving all those BMWs . Please no harm meant and i really do hope casey is ok and there really isn,t something developing.Oh no i have just had another funny thought but is i say it i will get crucified by his fans. Oh hell isnt it the wife that...

Psychosomaticia

"I've been feeling fine all week but started to feel run down again on Friday and I've just got worse as the weekend has gone on"

I didn't get this one! I mean, any sudden infection or something grave happened on Friday? I read that he was doing good today in the initial laps, isn't it? What say guys

I DO believe he was feeling somewhat ill.
I DO NOT believe he was ill enough not to able to show up at the press conference.

Dont know what it is with Casey but clearly he does not look well. Just hope he shakes it off as that Ducati is one hell of a bike to ride well (physically demanding wise). Just look at Nicki Hayden - he seems to be fit but is a mile off the pace.

Ya, he doesn't look well to me - has for quite some time. I wonder if he has some sort of undiagnosed chronic condition... I bet we hear something in the next few weeks. Hopefully it is treatable and not something horrible. The dude is an incredible racer, and seems to be a cool guy as well. I would hate to see him sidelined by this.

If it turns out that this is some sort of condition related to his mental state, then I hope that the Rossi supporters feel very proud of themselves.

The wee fella has been persecuted shamelessly since he started winning in 07 for no other reason than he dared to beat the one who they all wanted to think was invincible. OK, so he's not much good at PR and obviously not a very out-going character by nature, who gives a s**t, he's a joy to watch racing a motorcycle.

I sincerely hope that the career of one of the most talented motorcycle racers the world has seen in recent years isn't going to be ruined by sheer bigotry and ignorance.

He's just sick of not being able to see his rivals 10 plus seconds down the road the past 2 races. He's sick of being the worst of the best riders. I don't doubt the guy is fast but now we see his championship season was a fluke because his bike was ridiculously faster than the rest as was evident in his race against Rossi in China. How about Rossi being the greatest sandbagger of all time!!! Check his practice pace vs his race pace...
Congrats on 100 Rossi! Pedrosa, we need you up front every race. Stoner, get the Pepto Bismol out you sore loser!

With those symtoms i'd pu money on Casey having Glandular fever, seen it all before and it takes months to shift, even if it's someone of Caseys age. If that is what he's got you moron Rossi fans owe him a big apology.

Strange reasoning 'Racefan' to put the blame on Rossi fans. Get real.
Or stop calling yourself a racefan.
