That's all it takes mate...his ankle will never be right again, he'll probably still have tingles in it also, I'm still having the same issue after I did a similar incident, but of course on a dirt bike and alot slower speed! His ankle is ****ed, but that's not going to stop Stoner I can tell you that.

I understand how debilitating an injury like that can be and maybe I should have understood it more for what it could have been which, as it has turned out to be the case, Stoner is saying that his ankle will never be the same...but still, if it had not been as serious, would he still have raced on it or come back earlier if it wasn't his last season and he wasn't lacking motivation...I don't know...but this is all hypothetical stuff, I just hope he makes a quick recovery.

If he could've raced on I'd say he'll firstly have some guts because it does hurt (especially pulling the G's they do around the corners, plus he'd likely say goodbye to at best half decent ankle if he come off again.
But going back to your question, yeah if he wasn't having all those factors going through his head then maybe he would've change his tune, but I think he's done the right decision...but it's a shame it's ending a great legends career, all because of a ankle injury

I wish him all the best and I hope its not the last we will see of him competing for a championship...

Wonder if his ankle would cause him any problems if he ever wanted to actually try V8s??

Well it's his right one, so it is on the accelerating side...so it would probably cause him more trouble than if it were on the clutch side...it would be nowhere near as easy as Frosty made it look (as he's leg fracture was clutch side).

Just listening to Stoner's interview on the V8's today, it really confirms what I suspected and probably what we all suspected which was a real lack of passion for sport and in his words, he wanted to get out while he still enjoyed it before it reverts to a different system next year with the riders eligible for factory rides, factory bikes available, concessions for CRT bikes etc, which will result in him enjoying the sport far less...

Not that there is anything wrong with it..... But has anyone heard the word that Valentino Rossi is gay? As you may know over the years his best mate Uccio is a very special friend. What would 'coming out' do for Rossi's profile?

What would 'coming out' do for Rossi's profile? Well they have said this for years, since the early 2000's that he's gay, and nothing has come from it, so I think considering he did have a GF that he's not. Remember guys this has been the rumour for over ten years now.

But, if I could speculate here, maybe him having a GF when the rumours first circulated was just for show (he could definately pay a girl to act as one) and to keep his public image intact and his sponsors on-side but privately he may lead a whole different life....not that there is anything wrong with that (just the marrying part! ;D)

So I really doubt that he would be gay when he has had I think 3 GF's or more since and yet none has come out and said why they split up, or whether it was to do with him being 'gay'.

Cause maybe he pays them to keep quiet! But I'm just playing the devil's advocate here and there is probably no truth to these rumours...but I guess another way perhaps if you could collate all his podium presentations, would be how much attention he gives the grid girls with the champagne?
