  1. Casey stoner 2008 Young Australian of the Year

  2. Biographical details Casey Stoner was born on the 16th of October 1985 in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales, Australia and raised in Southport, Queensland, Casey raced from a young age and moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a racing career. After first competing internationally in 2002, Stoner became the MotoGPWorld Champion in 2007 on the Ducati Corse and won a second world championship title in 2011 for Repsol Honda. Prior to the 2012 French Grand Prix, Stoner announced that he would retire from Grand Prix racing at the conclusion of the 2012 seasoneer.

  3. Information Casey Stoner has come from a family of motorcycle fanatics, who left their hometown of Kurri-Kurri to Europe to catapult Casey into the riding industry overseas. His World championship debut was as a wildcard in the Donnington and Phillip Island rounds in 2001. He finished 17th and 12th respectively. In 2002 he began his World Championship campaign in the 250cc class under the watchful eye and guidance of team boss and racing veteran, LucioCeccinello in the Salfio Carrera LCR (now known as Carrera Sunglasses LCR). He didnt do as well as he could have but a great rookie season was spent in the championship. 2003 began and he moved down to the 125cc Championship with the same team. He went alot better than when he was in the quarter-litre class, winning in Valencia and proving to be a threat in the 2004 season. Then the announcement came that Casey would be riding for the Austrian Red Bull KTM squad alongside Finland's Mika Kallio in the 2004 season.

  4. 2004 proved not to be Casey's year, with a broken Clavicle (collarbone) from a practice crash at the Sachsenring circuit proved to be the downfall. He was sitting comfortably in 4th spot in the championship with a great chance of taking the crown away from other contenders, Andrea Dovizioso (later crowned champion at the Sepang circuit), Hector Barbera, and Roberto Locatelli. With his injury to the left collarbone, he couldnt race in the Sachsenring race and then the following one in Great Britain. Then a disasterous 3 rounds followed, crashing out in Brno, A coming together with Simone Corsi (for which our Casey took the blame, missing a gear) in 2005, he re-appeared in the 250cc category and immediately took it to reigning champion DaniPedrosa, sitting in a comfortable 3rd place in the opening round in Jerez.
