After 23 wins, 21 poles, and one World Championship title together, Casey Stoner signed off as a Ducati rider today at Valencia with his 42nd podium. Four wonderful seasons for the Italian factory ended with a weekend to remember, with Stoner taking pole position yesterday and making a perfect start to the race today, leading for the majority of the race and defending first position with tooth and nail before finally conceding to Jorge Lorenzo on the 23rd lap.
Nicky Hayden also got a terrific start from the second row of the grid and the American was third into the first turn, passing Dani Pedrosa for second to give chase to his team-mate at the front. However, on the third lap he lost control of his GP10 as he entered turn one and his race ended with a high-speed crash.
CASEY STONER (Ducati MotoGP Team) 2nd
“We had a big decision to make in terms of the tyre choice today but we went for the hard compound and maybe in hindsight it cost us. It is difficult to say because maybe the softer option wouldn't have worked as well in the final stages so we could have ended up second either way. At the end of the day Jorge had a better pace than us today and there wasn't much more we could have done. It is nice to bring this era to a close on the podium and I think that is fitting. I have so many great memories of these past few years with Ducati, from my first win at Qatar in 2007 and that race in Barcelona the same year, to the title success at Motegi and my wins at Phillip Island. I also especially remember my return to action in Portugal last year. I have enjoyed every single victory on the Ducati so much and I want to thank them for so many great years together. I leave behind a lot of people that I will miss, like Filippo, Vitto and the others but even though we will be rivals on the track from now on our personal relationship will stay the same. I also want to thank all the Ducati fans for their support over these past four years.”

Wauw wat ben ik nieuwsgierig naar de test morgen!
ik ook ....maar de test zegt NIETS....de eerste race daar in tegen wel.
Wat een gek gezicht om #46 op een Ducati te zien staan en te realiseren dat het geen fotoshop is! Een gek gezicht, maar tegelijkertijd ook ongelooflijk gaaf!
Punt voor jou, maar ik bedoel uiteraard Ducati.Vind het niet gek hoor, het heeft al eerder op een italiaanse motor gestaan
Wat is er dan vandaag?nog één nachtje slapen
Normaal gesproken stelt het officiele WSBK team van Ducati zich daar dan toch ook voor? Dat officiele team bestaat nu natuurlijk niet meer, betekent dat dan dat Carlos Checa de gelederen komt versterken, of is er helemaal geen aandacht voor het WSBK?Teampresentatie MotoGP
