Casey Stoner for Phillip Island Wildcard?

Casey Stoner Valencia MotoGP 2013
Some rumors told that Casey Stoner may return to MotoGP as a wildcard rider on Phillip Island and Motegi race. No official statement from Stoner, but Livio Suppo behalf on HRC told that Honda open for Casey Stoner if he want to race as a wildcard rider

Stoner won his first Australian GP on 2007 and unbeatable until last year race 2012. 

Livio Suppo:
“I’m not sure where this rumour has come from but in the past Casey said one day in an interview that maybe he would like to do a wild card but there is nothing done. It is a kind of a dream for everybody to think that maybe one day we will see him riding a bike again but at the moment nothing is done. Of course if Casey would like to do it then we would be more than happy but in this moment I think Casey needs to be concentrated on his new adventure in the V8 series. Of course this would be discussed if it were something Casey expressed an interest in. It would not be easy because to do a wild card with Casey it means you would have to do it properly. But with a rider like Casey you would try and do your best to do it.”
