Well crap, Stoner to take a break.

Stoner out of action for three races, Kallio to join Hayden in Ducati Marlboro team | The Official MotoGP Website

Stoner is taking 3 races off due to a continuing, undiagnosed health problem. He has been suffering with it for several months, but still kicking ass on the track. So Nicky will have to carry the Ducati team, with a back up rider covering.

Spectacular rider but I was never much of a fan. Must be great for Mikka to get a shot albeit a short shot at the official bike! Hopefully he does well and perhaps a podium, I particularly enjoy the races where different faces lead the pack.

 

I'm just glad I don't have Stoner, Hayden or Ducati on my MotoGP fantasy team....This could be the first year that Ducati doesn't win a major world championship.....and if Casey stays gone and Ben Spies stays in WSBK...it could be awhile before they win another one.

 

LOL ^ Ducati will massage the rules again to make it in their favor..

 

Yes, I doubt anything will change much. I am sure Nicky is thinking this may be his chance, but Stoner being out does not improve his riding. The new guy will benefit the most, I guess.

Well, Pedrosa should be well healed by the next race. With Stoner out of the way, he will have one less person to fight with for the podium. Who do we think will step up and join him and Rossi? Lorenzo all the way?
