Casey Stoner:
"Over the years there have been things in the sport that have disappointed but also things I've loved. now the balance has tipped" said Stoner. This has been coming for a couple of years now but at the end of this 2012 season I will be not racing in the 2013 Championship. I will be finishing my career at the end of this season in MotoGP, and go forward in different things in my life. It has changed a lot and to the point where I am not enjoying it. I don't have the passion for it and so it's better if I retire now"
It would be nice if I could say I would stay one more year, but then where does it stop? So we decided to finish everything as we are now
