It’s been ten years since Casey Stoner last raced at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, and nine years since he visited the region that made him an Australian legend.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of Casey Stoner, the Queenslander’s name is synonymous with MotoGP™ and for good reason.
A two-time World Champion, Stoner’s first win on home soil in 2007 kick-started a run of six consecutive wins at Phillip Island, with 2012 marking the final time he’d stand atop the Australian podium.
Now, a decade later, he’s back.
To mark the occasion, Casey Stoner was joined by friend and fellow retired MotoGP™ race-winner, Chris Vermeulen for a very special return trip to Phillip Island where the these two icons share memories of a combined 13 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix starts and the secret to being quick at The Island.
During his career, Casey Stoner was described as a genius in the way he approached racing at Phillip Island. This is Casey Stoner like you've never heard him before, speaking candidly about the nuances of racing at the iconic circuit and the tactics that made him a legend and seemingly unbeatable around The Island.
