Return to the Island with Casey Stoner and Chris Vermeulen

[@ausgrandprix]

Couple of absolute legends. This is amazing.

[@ausmotogp]

❤️ Incredible to have Chris & Casey involved in this shoot.

[@andrewrose9707]

Great video. Nice seeing Casey and Chris at the Island and looks like the weather played nicely for them. Seeing an elated Marco Simoncelli at 8:18 chocked me up a bit knowing he would be dead just a week later - RIP Marco

[@mxs8102]

In my opinion, CS27, was the most talented racer ever in modern era. Too bad the circus was not for him to stomach. And then his ability to explain things from technical standpoint is just something I have never heard anyone do. Just a brilliant guy. Thanks Casey for the thrill and entertainment over the years. I hope you are well and having fun living your quiet family life.

[@ricksantiago4422]

My thoughts exactly

[@franciscomiguelromerocarri8623]

Same,Casey my fav ever.

[@JDeezle21]

Talented enough but wasn't mentally tough enough. Too bad. It happens in sports all the time.

[@seanadamson280]

I remember Keith Huewen saying he went out the back of whichever circuit it was and Stoner was doing things in a particular corner which no one else could.

[@Ty-ts3ku]

Could not agree more 👍

[@taicr80]

Image sitting behind a road trail bike with 27 Stoner on it thinking "what a poser.." and then stopping in for a coffee and seeing the lid come off and seeing not only Casey, but Chris too... Legends 👍👍

[@ausmotogp]

😂😂😂

[@wes3029]

Haha I was thinking the same thing 😅 🤣

[@125kingo125]

Some of the best times of my life seeing Casey's 6 wins in person. The guy is a genius. Hope one day to meet my hero and thank him 🇦🇺❤️

[@ausmotogp]

A magician! His insight into Phillip Island was incredible.

[@0Zolrender0]

In 2018 I rode my Kawasaki ZX10R from Alice Springs NT down to Adelaide (1500km on a sportsbike) and met up with my best mate (who owns the same bike). Two days later we rode from Adelaide to the Island in one long day (750km). We then spent 4 days there watching the GP. Then did the return ride back. Best time of my life. Two good mates on the same machinary living a life long dream.

[@WhereIsWiljenn]

You just reminded me how absolute mental the distances are in Australia.

[@ausmotogp]

😂

[@ausmotogp]

Unreal! What a memory!

[@r.blacky341]

Hallo Casey i have seen a old picture from you you have a young sheep in your arms and a big happy smille in your face!! This was the moment, that i now,your a real hero!! Human must respect the animals!! And you do this,i hope your farm have much good times and all the rain you need,for a good harvest, very best wish from a Fan Reiner from Germany Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

[@djshotty]

Thank you to all involved in organising this day for two superstars.

[@ausmotogp]

Hope you enjoyed the insight into their secrets to being fast on The Island as much as we did

[@djshotty]

@@ausmotogp Brilliant, just brillant.

[@dinkidink5912]

Happy to see Casey up and about again after all his health issues, thanks for the video 👍

[@vudu5vudu]

I get goosebumps watching this. I was there in 2012 watching from turn 3. The mastery was obvious. Back wheel hanging out. Dani fell off at 4, Jorge, Cal and Dovi were also-rans. Big fan of Chris too. Massive fan of Aussies in MotoGP. Go Jack!

[@267BISMARK]

Chris was also an incredably talented rider. Should have won the world superbike championship as well as supersport.

[@martynflynn8368]

Nice to see them riding Triumphs, made just 20 miles up the road from where I live. Hinckley Triumph have done an outstanding job at the forefront of the rebirth of British bikes with some iconic machines. Wow, just realized its 15 years since Casey won his first title on the Duke.

[@911aircooled5]

Thanks Chris n Casey for sharing your track and experiences at one of the BEST tracks in the world. Met Casey a few times, great guy, but was always too busy, be nice to share a beer and time with him now. Cheers and thanks.

[@ausmotogp]

Amazing insight into his approach on how to ride the island.

[@superblackbird7889]

This two are absolute super heroes , realy miss this era in motogp.

[@concernedcitizen5506]

Watched every single race of Casey’s career. He is also a pretty handy golfer. Met him at Hope Island. He is a very approachable nice young guy.

[@chiller5438]

I hope you took your chance Chris and beat him to the line!! Thanks Legends! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@Yodavich]

This was a great video. I was there to see Stoner as the new world champion on his first year with Ducati and I was there for his first season with Honda where he won the championship on his birthday. We jumped over the tyre barrier at Siberia and I fell knee first into the gravel. Even though I was in tremendous pain, I ran all the way to the main straight for the podium holding two open beers and a deck chair and I didn't spill a drop. I was the real champion that day!

[@queenslander954]

Take a bow champ , that was seemingly.. pretty spectacular. even Stoner would have given you a De Nero facial nod.

[@ausmotogp]

That’s all time!

[@kmac5849]

We only know the riders from what we’re told basically from the media, I went along with the ‘Casey Moaner’ that changed when Ben Spies said ‘ I know I can’t do what Casey does , in and out of the corners” also his fight with the debilitating illness in such a pressure cooker and dangerous career. I now have the utmost respect for him and am so pleased he’s got a handle on his condition.

[@Two_Phones_Eddie]

Loved watching these guys chat, always been a fan of both of them 👍👍

[@ausmotogp]

Such good insight. We're spoiled for racing talent in Australia.

[@svenhollis-lifts]

Kudos to the team that organised this for these two legends, I’m pumped myself for Phillip Island riding down from Sydney, will be my first time seeing this iconic track and hope to see awesome people 👏🏻

[@ausmotogp]

Dress warm. Even on beautiful days the wind off the Bass Coast can be chilly

[@svenhollis-lifts]

[@PaulConnor100]

Nice to see these two guys still enjoying there riding. Aussies rule legends of the sport we all love 😁

[@rubbersideup5530]

It is a beautiful track to ride around. So good to hear commentary from champions.

[@ausmotogp]

Amazing insight.

[@darinsullaphen4683]

With some of the greatest riders coming from Australia, these greats should team up to share their knowledge and skills with the up-and-coming talent to produce more Australians for the MotoGp. Like the VR6 academy ... Stoner, Vermeulen, Daryl Beattie, Bayliss, Mick Doohan, Wayne Gardner, etc: what a pool of talent, Australia boasts.

[@ausmotogp]

We’ve been extremely browsed with Aussie talent

[@r.blacky341]

In Australien some very young kids (3 years) became a little cross Yamaha PW 50 that made only for kids,or a other bike like that,and there have very much place to make training, or there ride on the bike farms, from her parents, thats one of the risen that the Australien bike racers are so good, and the best from them are Casey Stoner!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

[@ognjennovakov9355]

Lets not forget Jack Miller 🏆

[@danmastellotto9862]

Umm. More Please. You two should do a tv show together. I’d definitely watch it. Sponsors would definitely get onboard. Great Show!

[@ausmotogp]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@malcolmdixon6025]

Great to see these 2 guys enjoying a leisurely motorcycle ride together, and talk a bit about their racing experiences, and do a few tourist laps of the Island circuit. And it's so good to see Casey looking healthier than he has for a long time, with energy in his voice etc.

[@yoongisbabymama9054]

I always enjoy Casey's interviews and this was another great one

[@ausmotogp]

One of the best. His insight into riding is something truly special.

I have big framed photos of Mick, Chris and Casey in my office, so it was great to hear from the boys. I've enjoyed a dozen road trips to P.I. since the late nineties for MotoGP and these blokes never disappointed. And let's not forget Garry McCoy, super sliding legend 😁.

Wow that was great to hear these guys explain the best track in the world .I also agree Casey was the best in the modern era and most talented by miles . How he was so fast yet so cautious is very backwards to us normal humans . 👍🏼👍🏼

Casey's technical breakdown of every part of this track is so enlightening. Things like outside tyre temperature, slope of the curve, weather etc. He hardly mention's the bike itself.

He’s a genius in two wheels.

Absolute pleasure to watch this amazing legends, have to watch several times because tears in my eyes 💞 Still remember the best days of my life hanging on the fence of the race tracks when Casey won the races. Went almost all over to cheer for Casey, but not the King's Island.... And I'm so sorry for that. Now? To see this generation of bikes, sounds the same and looks like......? Anyway, give Chris a Suzuki and Casey a Ducati to do a few honour laps ❤️❤️❤️❤️ And, maybe an old -93 500 Honda for Sir Mick Doohan 💞👍🏻

Don't want to sound to disrespectful, but Marquez should retire. I think the sport has passed him by now. Look at the chaos he caused in Aragon on the weekend. Even though they were deemed "racing incidents", it was nearly like he was in panic mode. But he can still prove me wrong.
