Hope he makes a full recovery soon!

I can but suggest riders which may have probability of crashing and underwent in surgery to keep the health fit, consume hygienic food, and always follow advice or recipe prescribed by doctor.

Being anxious to achieve performance better, insomnia would make more sense for owning some unsolved problem after being beaten at previous races.

It is not anemia, Stoner said. They don't know what it is. I pray that the kid will recover from whatever is torturing him.

Seems to me that a large number of those people who strive to be super-fit, overdo it and and push their bodies beyond the level it has evolved to cope with then end up suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome that only seems curable by reducing stress levels on the body and mind.

I'm not a great fan of Casey Stoner, but the way he is performing despite this illness is pretty amazing. He must be pushing himself beyond what could ever be expected under the circumstances.

Best wishes to Casey.

Why does Ducati say its anemia and Casey say its not???? :confused:

Because Stoner hates being told what the problem is and how easy it is to fix ... he's enjoying the excuse of being ill while he's not leading all the time :mark:

Much as I like Stoner, I'm sick of hearing his moaning and complaining at times. He's felt ill, of course, but saying doctors are wrong about such an easily corrected and diagnosed problem is just plain pigheaded. I hope he sorts out his woes and starts to enjoy his job again soon. If he doesn't I'm not sure I can be bothered cheering him on for much longer :(

Or, perhaps we can allow for the fact that sometimes the media gets it wrong... and that in many cases there's a lot more to the story than what is is published, whether by selection or simply lack of information.

Stoner is sick, he seems to be getting better, it's not too late for him to have a good tilt at the championship. And, as we've seen in the last race and in his career in general, he is not going to give up without giving it his best shot.

Why does it need to be any more complicated than that?

Sometimes the media gets it wrong?????
