Casey Stoner

The Marlboro Ducati rider Casey Stoner, has been suffering a mystery illness for most of the season and after undergoing a batch of tests has final been diagnosed as having mild anemia and a slight gastritis.

At the last round of the MotoGP Championship at Laguna Seca, Stoner took fourth place despite not feeling 100% and after crashing out during the qualifying session.

The crash left the Australian battered and bruised, which could be a concern for this weeks race at the German GP.  Stoner said;

“I still don’t feel like I am 100% but the biggest problem now is that my ribs are very painful after the crash in qualifying in the U.S. It will be probably another hard weekend in Germany, but as always, we will do our best to stay as much as possible close to the lead of the Championship.”
