Does Casey Stoner this MotoGP is TOO FAST now?? - Gypsy Tales

[@OZZIEMV]

I met Casey a few days ago when he came over to Perth for a meet and greet session at our local circuit. I've always been a huge fan and as a motorsport photographer I had to get that rear shot through turn 3 at Phillip Island. He signed the print I had and I gave him a copy. We had a moment to chat after the meet and greet photos with other fans. He has always been one of my top 5 influential people to meet and he did not disappoint. A great character, so down to earth and his recollection of races all those years ago is still crystal clear. That was truly an incredible experience for me.

Lucky you! I didn't know Casey still attends public events apart from EICMA last month

[@patrik.clifford]

I'm 100% with Stoner, always on high alert when riding both roadracing, Mtb or just my car in heavy traffic... no trance state at all... only when the surroundings are quiet or very monotonous.

[@jamesstenner8335]

Stoner was is and always will be my favourite MotoGP riders he was just on another level …and he wasn’t even trying !!! Just something else

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

I agree. Stoner was just a level above the rest.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

He was absolutely phenomenal, however he definitely was trying his hardest.

[@ozgal6929]

I miss Casey riding in the Moto GP but can fully relate to why he had to retire as I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Such a shame this illness took him out because the guy is a once in a decade talent. ♥️🇦🇺

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

The fact we had him Lorenzo Pedrosa and a older Rossi all at the same time What a time the aliens era was ridiculous high end level talent of motoGP if you could transplant any of them into today MotoGP they might win every race right now

[@ozgal6929]

@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 í totally agree. They were very special. What I do love now is it's a much more even battlefield and makes for such exciting watchíng . Jorge Martine is starting to stand out above the crowd in this last part of the season but next year on a faster bike Marquez (Mark) is going to want to make hís mark again and if he handles the Ducati he will. His brother Alex is starting to improve our of síght too.

Can you please get Stoner on more podcast. Australian Moto GP Legend. It sucks Stoner didn't keep Racing. He would have broken so many records. 💪

[@soraaoixxthebluesky]

For sense of speed, yes it’s gone pretty fast like our brain gets used to it pretty quickly especially if there’s a vehicle as fast as you do like everything just subconsciously look and feel normal.

[@johng6586]

Gypsy, you articulated exactly what it is about riding dirtbikes seriously for everyone feels like. Those moments where you are the moment. Step out of life and into life at the same time. It what is known as ecstasy in some religions.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

I wholeheartedly agree. I just wish I could enjoy it again. F**King injuries from work in my way.

[@mikekaz7449]

Very interesting…Just racing CCS and WERA, and even at track days I can recall sessions and races where all I could hear is the bike and my heartbeat. Trust me, I’m no pro level rider.

[@harrynoakes]

You certainly don't need to be a pro rider, my whole life spent racing I spend more time in a "flow state" than not, I always had to force myself to be present to improve, unless I got a good start and was running on pure adrenaline to push hard

[@loadtoad714]

Fellow WERA southeast racer! I know what you mean, I actually don’t wear earplugs so I hear it all.

[@oldscool3138]

Obsessed with this topic! Great bit!

[@winstonwolff]

Possibly the fastest & most talented to ever do it. Granted Rossi has more titles & George currently has the pole & sprint races on lock but if Casey rode today he would still be at the front.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

Yep, the top talents always shine through.

[@PureAdrenaline81]

Idk Marc Marquez would probably crash him out 😂

[@timw4369]

They need to get rid of electronics. It's killing the sport.

[@chriswest2290]

The manufacturer want it. Motogp is a test bed for technology that filters down into road bikes.

[@8180634]

It does seem to be extending careers though, by reducing nasty crashes. Rewind to the 2 stroke days and look how many had serious injuries and retired younger. But it does make the racing a little less exciting. Watching superbikes after moto GP and the superbikes seem so much looser and all over the place and that does add to the excitement. I'm not sure why the difference as they both have electronics.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

​@@8180634I'd love to see 2 strokes again with some aids to stop the injuries. Pure prototype racing.

[@leadsled8961]

" how I feel " when mentaly going through your ride .What do can you see when you close your eyes ?

[@regimiro4888]

how is there a typo in the title after a year lmao

[@Wacoal34d]

"seems crazy" would be not to be noticing as much as possible.

Goodness me, atleast be able to spell the headline correct 😂

[@nicodiaz627]

For the fellkw nerds out there, Goku reaches ultra instinct and vegeta ultra ego. Casey is more like an ultra ego transformation when racing.

[@zlatankrebski2738]

Stoner awesome rider listening to him talk hurts my soul. Doohan is the king he’s not a whiny crybaby like stoner.

[@trishkelly1419]

Crybaby? Honesty

[@disvert9355]

Doohan was a best on the bike, and tough as nails. Easy top 3 best rider ever in the history of mankind. Better than Rossi, Marquez, Stoner etc.
