Stoner to sit out 2009?
"CASEY STONER has admitted his MotoGP season is in serious doubt due to continual pain in his wrist.
The 2007 world champion says that unless the wrist improves over the next fortnight his ability to contest the series will be under a cloud."

Stoner will race even if he is screaming in pain by race end!

I'll probably get a bit of flack for this but...
He needs to grow a pair... a sore wrist ** and he's going to sit it out!! Perhaps the whinging is starting a bit earlier this year than it did last year.. Running scared he is...Dovi and Dani have got him worried....
mokin:
Other riders ride and race with cracked and broken bones.. Hopkins, Lorenzo, West, Capirossi, Rossi and Roby Rolfo out there now with a bad shoulder. He has put off surgery to ride.........
** I wonder what he's been doing to aggrevate it..
Ok rant over.. Now toss the stones!!
We all know I'm no Casey fan ....

Stoner is potential rider. He has equal opportunity striking back his victory as soon as he can focus to the ride and can handle all the pressures at the track.
If medical treatment comes to no result, anyone can get a massage to promote greater flexibility, loosen muscles, and relieve muscle swelling, as well as to diminish pain and restore full range of motion after injuries such as tendinitis and ligament sprains.
Has anyone told him about healing power of massage...?

18th February 2009, 03:50 #6GuestNo stones Roby 'cos I'm sure feel the teeniest bit sorry for the guy really. My son has just broken his scaphoid during a downhill race and future prospects don't look good. Apparently it's the worst or one of the worst places to get a break, something to do with low blood flow pressure which means the bones don't always heal and can die - or something. Early surgery involving taking bone from elsewhere in the arm seems an option if you can afford to go private. Stoner, who obviously can afford the best may have been better to stop racing last year, get surgery and give himself enough time to recover. Of course, what motorcycle rider does something sensible like that?

Love em or hate em, each rider who makes it to the World stage is a Champion in their own right. Originally Posted by Roby44

I didn't say he wasn't a Champion.. I agree that anyone who gets on a bike and goes out there like they do deserves a lot of credit for that.. I just don't like his whining... Originally Posted by Mach24

As mentioned, the scaphoid is different to other bones both in how it heals and how it affects a rider.
Remember too that riders like Rolfo aren't as badly affected by injuries as riders like Stoner, because they ride so much slower
PS: I have a Ford AND a Holden and I like them both equally...Phantom... Bike Who Parks
