Check out our gallery of pics from the Australian GP weekend. Phillip Island is considered by all the riders as one of the best racing circuits in the world, even if most of them would like to ride the track in another season because of the cold.
Casey Stoner Video - The New Slide King
We hope Garry McCoy will forgive us, if after viewing this video of Casey Stoner who won yesterday’s Australian GP at Phillip Island, if we say that there’s another Aussie that can take the name of Slide King.
Check out that power drift! Awesome!
MotoGP Phillip Island - Casey Stoner Wins and hat tricks the Island
Casey Stoner, during the Australia Grand Prix at Phillip Island, silenced any of his final critics taking his third win of this season, more than five months from his last, and winning his home race for the third year in a row, which also took him to third in the championship standings.
It was Dani Pedrosa that got the hole shot with Casey Stoner, with his special one off livery, hot on his tail and Valentino Rossi following, while Jorge Lorenzo taking off from fourth, crashed out at the first turn.
Lorenzo was passed by both Nicky Hayden and Mika Kallio and going wide lost control of his M1, clipped Hayden, who managed to stay on his Ducati and return to the race. Lorenzo would end up with a broken pinky finger, a scraped nose and giving Valentino Rossi at 38 point lead in the standings.
Stoner took the lead from Pedrosa on the second lap after exchanging paint a pair of times then Rossi overtook Pedrosa who would eventually fall to third and a massive 22.618s from Stoner.
Rossi would follow Stoner for the rest of race looking like he could overtake the Aussie rider, but would finally settle for second place and crossed the finish line 1.935s behind the Aussie rider. The two fastest riders on track would give us a show that we hadn’t seen in a long, long time, some fantastic slides.
Alex de Angelis rode to an excellent fourth place that may convince the government of San Marino to back him for a MotoGP ride in Team Scot.

MotoGP Phillip Island Qualifying - Casey Stoner pips Pole Position
Today’s qualifying session at Phillip Island saw Casey Stoner take his second pole position of the season and continue to dominate the field after this morning’s free practice.
The Aussie rider, true to form, set few, but blistering laps throughout the hour session, but it was his final lap in the dying seconds that pipped Valentino Rossi out of the pole position by 0.050s.
Valentino Rossi will start tomorrow’s race in second place, his best lap coming on the 26th of his 30 laps.
Dani Pedrosa was third, despite a crash at turn 2 when his front folded sending him for a long tumble through the grass and gravel trap, that left the Spanish rider uninjured, while Lorenzo for the first time this season was not on the qualifying podium was fourth. Lorenzo and several members of his team are still recuperating from food poisoning, was just 0.001 from Pedrosa’s best time of 1.31.070.

Casey Stoner Australian GP Helmet
Casey Stoner was sporting this new helmet design on his Nolan X 802 for his home race at the Australian GP at Phillip Island, not as far out looking as Jorge Lorenzo’s Estoril GP moon landing helmet, Stoner’s lid would make a very nice replica for any race fan.
MotoGP Phillip Island - Niccolò Canepa to be ruled out of Sunday's race
Today’s MotoGP practice at Phillip Island saw several riders crash out including Pramac Ducati’s Niccolò Canepa.
The Italian rookie crashed at turn one while he was going over 200 km/h and slid across the track burning his right elbow and gashing open his forearm. Treated at the Clinica Mobile, the rider was then sent to a Melbourne Hospital to check out if their are any tendon or nerve damages and have further treatment on his open cut.
If the large cut cannot be sutured properly Canepa will have to undergo a skin transplant that will rule him out of Sunday’s race.
Canepa, who is currently 16th in the standings with 38 points will be replaced by Aleix Espargaro next season, has been linked to rides in the new Moto2 series and in the World Superbike championship.
MotoGP- Phillip Island: Rossi leads, Lorenzo crashes
It was Valentino Rossi who lead today’s free practice at the Australian circuit at Phillip Island. The Italian rider who doesn’t want a repeat of the Estoril GP weekend, put in 31 laps, more that any other rider and topped the session in 1.31.032.
Rossi was followed by Casey Stoner, who turned 24 today, at 0.135s from The Doctor. Dani Pedrosa was almost half a second slower than Rossi took third, while Alex de Angelis, who still doesn’t know where he’s heading in 2010, was fourth, 0.258 secs. behind Pedrosa
Colin Edwards took his usual fifth position, a little more than 8 tenths of second from Rossi’s best time. Jorge Lorenzo struggled in fifth place for most of the session until a low side crash in the last five minutes left him in sixth.

MotoGP - Casey Stoner Interview with Shell
Shell is a pretty unobtrusive sponsor for Ducati and the last time we saw something from them was when they interviewed Nicky Hayden before this year’s Mugello GP.
This time they’ve got Casey Stoner and more or less asked him the same questions that they asked Nicky, race preparation, favourite street bike and his racing hero.
While Stoner is out of the championship fight, he’ll be trying to take third place in the standings from Dani Pedrosa who leads third place by a mere three points and as Stoner has said: I’m fighting for third and for Dani and me, it is our own championship within a championship and we’ll see what happens.”
MotoGP: Casey Stoner "I Was a Danger on the Race Track"
Before this weekend’s MotoGP race at Phillip Island, homeboy Casey Stoner revealed that his mysterious illness that made him take a 3 race break from the 2009 championship may have been putting him danger on the race track.
“It was something I never wanted to do, I never wanted to take the break but it was just becoming ridiculous. I was maybe becoming dangerous on the bike, I was so exhausted and it’s just not the best way to be out there racing.
“When you’re not there and you know you’re competitive enough to be at the front but just can’t stay there, race after race it was just becoming too hard.
Mentally that did destroy me a little bit, the fact that we knew we had a good bike to win races. I knew I was fast enough to win races and we just couldn’t finish the job.
We also weren’t giving the right information to Ducati for the next year as well when we’re trying to develop this bike, but because the championship was already slipping away from us as well, there was no point in carrying on. We had no fight left in us.”

Wayne Gardner: Stoner's Absence 'Very Suspicious'
Casey Stoner returned for the Estoril GP and with his 2nd place and showed everyone that he hadn’t lost any of his talent and speed after his ‘mysterious’ illness and three race break, and that all the rumors surrounding his absence were unfounded.
During the Estoril press conference Stoner chastened the press and media and how they reacted to his break and the rumours that it caused, especially sighting out Kevin Schwantz saying he had lost respect for the 1993 world champion after the American appeared to criticise him for pulling out:
“You know something that really upset me a lot and I’ve lost a lot of respect for him is Kevin Schwantz. After what he said, I had a lot of respect for that guy, he’s been one of my favorite riders and probably one of the most exciting riders to watch throughout my career. When somebody like that says something like that, it shows you that experience counts for nothing, which is what I’ve been trying to tell people for a long time now. They’re always looking to the older riders to give their points of view, but unfortunately, their points of view are very hard and there’s no changing them.”
Adding:
“I saw the Kevin Schwantz thing and things like that, and it really made me laugh. It pissed me off at the same time, because I had a lot of respect for those riders, Jeremy McWilliams as well, I mean, what the hell do they know? Really, what do they know? Everyone’s sitting their with an opinion when they know nothing, and they don’t know the situation.”
You’d think that after these subduing comments, everyone would now tread very softly around Stoner and try not bring up the story anymore, but not Wayne Gardner.
