And Casey still has a bung shoulder and wrist... and looked in serious pain on RPM last weekend....

Good on him, congrats to the rider, the team and his family for being behind him 100% of the way

Good Result as he was only qualified tenth on the grid he should be favorite for Philip Island but lets see how he goes at Malasia next.

Now to watch the race....

was a great race , I think the best of all threePedrosa had it in the bag until he slowed with brake problems I think , but what a battle ensued THE 125'S DELIEVER AGAIN

hector barbera is a real talent!
And i'd really love to see casey win one before the end of the year

f1manoz · 6 Oct 2003, 05:26 (Ref:741535)

Stoner will win before the season is out, hopefully at Phillip Island. That would be extra-sweet for the young fellow…

**gomick** · 19 Oct 2003, 08:06 (Ref:755612)

poor casey fell off again - while in the lead

f1manoz · 19 Oct 2003, 08:25 (Ref:755615)

He really blew it this time.

There is no doubting his pace, but he crashes too often. Perhaps he's listening to Lucio too much?

vatuloa · 19 Oct 2003, 08:57 (Ref:755639)

His rear brake locked which mean't he did not just fall off with a rear tyre breakout.

jetsetter · 19 Oct 2003, 09:26 (Ref:755656)

Unfortunately Casey came off whilst in a good position again, he must be wondering where that first win is going to come from.

**GTRMagic** · 19 Oct 2003, 09:42 (Ref:755675)

Actually, the team seem to think the engine hiccupped and caused the rear to lock up... thats certainly what it looked like, a clutch engaging strangely, or an engine somewhere near seizure...

Very sad, Casey could have walked away with it

Hazza · 19 Oct 2003, 10:19 (Ref:755737)

It allways happens to the aussies, like mcoy's tire falling apart lasty year.

Caseys comments from the Gold Coast Bulletton

Aussie crashes out of 125cc
20Oct03

HUNTER Valley teenager Casey Stoner crashed out of contention while leading the Australian 125cc motorcycle grand prix at Phillip Island yesterday. Stoner, who turned 18 last week, failed to finish the race after falling victim to the dreaded Lukey Heights in the slippery conditions for the race. Italian Honda rider Andrea Ballerini made the most of Stoner's misfortune to claim his first GP win. The former European champion collected his first points of the season in a 23-lap race where the majority of the leading riders came to grief on the greasy circuit. Stoner, on an Aprilia, led for the first six laps before he high-sided into the mud and out of the race before his home fans. "I would have loved to have won in Australia today. I am not too disappointed, though, as in the wet it takes a lot of luck and it was not my day," said Stoner. "In the race, the bike felt good and I felt very comfortable. "But going into Honda corner, I crashed and it felt like the rear locked up. "On the exit, it felt like it was dragging. Then going through Lukey Heights at the top end of the circuit the rear came around on me unexpectedly and I crashed. "I'm very sorry for all my Aussie fans but thank them for their support

It was a very strange incident. Obviously not Casey's fault due to the location and type. A shame as he was probably on for a win.

DavidStHubbins · 2 Nov 2003, 14:12 (Ref:770759)

Stacy Coner wins at last! Well done lad, good luck on the KTM next year - will need it.

Dani Filth · 2 Nov 2003, 15:28 (Ref:770792)

Congrats to Casey Stoner, he and his family would be well pleased... hopefully he can celebrate his 18th birthday with a (legal) drink or 3 now

I believe there were some other options in the wind for 2004, such as setting up and running his own team.... but the dollars got to stratospheric proportions and it seemed to all get too hard.

Here's hoping the KTM deal is the way of the future for Casey... there is no doubting he can ride, on a not-quite-works spec bike... imagin ethe attention of a factory team on his performances

vatuloa · 2 Nov 2003, 22:39 (Ref:771016)

At least everybody remembers who won the last race and who was the champion congratulations to Casey.

jetsetter · 3 Nov 2003, 04:12 (Ref:771188)

It's good to see Casey bring up his first win, i hope there are lots more.

asha · 3 Nov 2003, 13:13 (Ref:771520)

well done Casey!

what a nice way to start the holiday!

**gomick** · 5 Nov 2003, 08:55 (Ref:773530)

great weekend for casey

- congrats on the 1st of many race wins and best of luck for 2004 on the ktm
