The digit, reserved for the reigning world champion, was absent from the MotoGP grid from 2001-2005 when Valentino Rossi chose to keep his famous #46.

After Nicky Hayden ended the Italian's reign in 2006, the Repsol Honda rider replaced his usual #69 with the 'heavy' #1 plate - which might now be passed to Stoner and Ducati for 2008.

"We're still not 100% sure [if I will use the number 1 or continue with the number 27], but at this stage we're leaning more towards the number 1," said the 22-year-old Australian on Thursday at Sepang.
