So i got lucky in that i arrived home without realising there was a race today and when i turned on the tv, coverage was just starting. Race starts in 30 seconds! BBC 2

Casey Stoner is retiring at the end of the season. He's only 26!

Fair play thought, he says he wants to spend more time with his family. And Simoncelli's death last year would make anyone think about carrying on.

Are you a fan of Stoner, pocketmouse ?
