_"If you let those electronics sort it out they would sort you out."_ what a great line. Thanks for doing this Casey. Watching you ride was a privilege.

One of THE most, naturally gifted riders of our generation.

Casey, watching you ride was a pleasure. I feel lucky, privileged to have witnessed that era.

On his day. He was untouchable. Awesome riding style.

Stoner was an unbelievable talent. His peers (Lorenzo, Spies, Hayden et al) all thought he could do things they couldn't. Such a shame he retired before taking on Marc..

What a legend. I was always a Rossi fan and only started to appreciate this man when he retired. Wish he could have stayed racing. What a pleasure it was to see him race. He hung off the bike more than anyone else. He had so much more to offer but respect his decision to retire. In my opinion he's the GOAT! Sorry Rossi and Marc 🤪

Being an Australian ive been a massive stoner fan forever. Was awesome being at Phillip island for many of his victories as well as his final race. His book is a great read as well

Awesome listening to Casey, especially his views on current MotoGP tech.. I think he hits the nail on the head, the best riders in the world shouldn't have TC, anti-wheelie, ride height control etc.. The problem that exists now though is there are no current riders in the MotoGP paddock that have ridden a GP bike without it, and, if you take it away, they'll be chucking themselves into the gravel left right and centre. CS is 100% correct, stopping the wheelie, spinning up up to turn the bike, stopping it spinning to get it to grip out of a corner etc.. was the skill of making a bike fast - Who can forget Casey smoking the rear up at will.

Casey Stoner is a biking legend, because he won the Moto GP world title in 2007 and 2011, for 2 manufacturers and beat a prime Valentino Rossi to the championship which many could not do, kudos to him, and thanks for the great races you give us.

Casey you are probably the best rider I have ever seen. No one could have ridden that Ducati to all those wins. Look at those that tried. Technical talent, understanding and flatout guts to do it. Who gives a damn if Pims don't like you. You are revered in places that matter, like NZ and Aus. Glad to see you looking so relaxed and happy.

Very interesting comments from Neil about how hard the '07 Ducati was to ride. Puts it in perspective.

Great interview Neil loved it

God bless both these men for what they did for motorcycles. Casey did what no one could. Not even Rossi. Casey my humble friend, be proud you did what no one else could. You guys were real racers...doing the hard miles in the backs of vans or pick ups...sleeping on the road...riding junk winning with talent...Real racers with talent controlling a machine and doing things no one else can.

Casey is a real Legend and I have the greatest respect for him ,honest and truly humble #27 forever 🙏

casey has a natural talent of public speaking he uses his words very well

Agree 💯 % with Stoner

Fantastic interview Neil! Look forward to the next one.

When Casey speaks, I listen carefully. He articulates my issues I have with the promotion and running of MotoGp perfectly because I agree wholeheartedly with all the points he makes. MotoGP would be in a much better place with Casey in charge, unfortunately, the promoters of the sport, as with most sports, are mainly focused on the money and not the integrity of that sport (not 'the show' nor 'the business'). Much respect to Casey, I hope his health continues to improve and I hope we see more of him. Thanks also to Neil for making this interview possible, it was a real treat. Cheers.

Great interview, Casey is a legend and a decent guy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

CS27 🔥

Id recommend Caseys autobiography. Certainly changed my view of racing and whats required inside and out. His slowmos to me are always gonna be perfection.

Fantastic chat, I could have listened for hours.

Casey stonerr is a champion never to be forgotten 😊😊😊

Great interview. Sepang 2015 was the day I stopped being a Rossi fan and I know I'm not the only one. He couldn't handle his own mind games, that he used successfully for years, not phasing Marc. It was embarrassing to watch him try and start drama only to get absolutely rinsed by Marc on track.

Yet, Rossi is Laughing at all of you all the way to the Bank!!! MM93 is such an arrogant dangerous Punk and his fans are too. He'll NEVER be the GOAT like Rossi, no matter how many wins / championships he ends up with. Rossi pushing back on a punk like Marquez IS what I respect about him. Not letting some asswhipe like MM push the older guy around.

What a cracking interview! Thanks Casey and Neil!

Stoner took a bike that nobody else could ride or develop and won with it. True legend.

So many hurdles Casey had to jump in his career,great interview Neil

What a fantastic interview!

Loved this interview, well done. Never realised Yamaha pulled contracts at the last minute on him, I wonder who had a say on that at the time!!😃

Poetry in motion, Casey, no one quite like you. Acosta has some great talents, and reminds me of how you rode. Also liked how smooth Lorenzo was in his prime.

I wholeheartedly agree with Casey, get rid of the electronics and then we can see who can actually ride a bike! Great interview Neil! Loved it

No electronics, no ugly wings. Just man and machine 🔥

I was going to see the GPs at Donnington in the days of the 500 legends and was there the day Valentino won on the 500. And that made him a hero to me at the time. But the day Casey beat Valentino and they booed him on the podium, I was horrified by it. It was disgusting. The football fan mentality of the fan base was so shocking. Definitely not what motorcycle racing should be off the track. In all the years since had nothing but the biggest respect for the man Casey has become.

I remember 2009, it rained at Donnington and the Ducatis took a punt that it would be a full wet race out and went out on wets. It was a disaster and to make it worse they booed him too. Couldn’t understand it either but he wasn’t Rossi and all that came with him. Shame as he’d ridden in the UK throughout his youth.

Always been a Rossi fan and his special moments are unforgettable but Casey came through with such an unbelievable talent and speed it was incredible to witness

As an Aussie, Casey is legend along with Gardner and Doohan. Would put Bayliss up there too. I was a Rossi fan, and my observation as a fan, is that he needed to create an enemy out of anyone he saw as a threat, to bring the best out of himself. Similar to how Michael Jordan did. But his ego got the better of him when he got desperate. Still a Rossi fan but it definitely took the shine off his image. Mad chat, thanks for sharing.

Am so happy to see Stoner life on line!!! God bless him and bless you

Great interview. Excellent. Looking forward to the next one.

What a fantastic watch ,thanks hodgy ❤

Well Neil top that interview , i never took my eyes off the screen and listened to every word fantastic , you helped fans realize just how difficult it was to race at the level you were both at Brilliant , all the best to both of you😊

Great interview!

Who wants to see what testing a moto gp motorcycle is has to see Casey testing in motegi in 2013 the rcv 213 and see how raw was back then and how he tamed it except of great rider was also an amazing test rider to develop a motorcycle,for the only genuine with balls MotoGP championship will always be in 2007 with Casey and of course todays riders without electronics don’t exist so that’s the difference cheers also to Neil a rough rider too 😎🤙

Excellent interview. Thanks guys

all podcast with Casey and Ben Spies are the best! raw truth. Casey and Ben are best friends. They have similar personalities.

Stoner now there’s a man who knows his stuff eh very interesting. Loved this program Neil, strange hearing your voice through the week and without Gavin and the bikes flying past. Give us some more characters to watch.

Great veiwing,,,,, cheers

Such a straight talking guy and on-point imo about rules/regulations. It’s racing what we want to see… lap times/records aren’t that important

That was simply great!💜🤟🏻

Much respect for Casey! Great pod cast, looking forward to the next one..

Great interview with my favourite MotoGP rider.

Awesome episode!

Thanks Neil….Casey will have my attention

Fantastic! Looking forward to EP 2 😎

great pod cast and interview thanks

Pretty humble guy who is actually a ducati GOAT , and that’s very hard to say as a kiwi lol

I'm conflicted! I would have to disagree that the Tech side actually "aids" the rider to much. If it was then TopRak would have killed it at the Yamaha Test he did back in 2023. ESPECIALLY UNDER HEAVY BRAKING with the control TopRak has riding a Unicycle 😁... . Also more often than not Riders that lose their seats in MotoGP who make the step over to WSBK Generally are quite Competitive right out of the gate...... BUT, I DO feel like the Pace of Bike Development is moving faster than the Riders can continue to safely keep up with! " if that makes sense" . I think I'd like to see a temporary Extremely restrictive Development Regulations beyond where Aprilia, KTM & Ducati have already pushed it (Front/Rear Ride Height Devices, some Aero development, & overall Top Speed).But still leave enough room to make incremental progress with existing Developments..

@@lightningmcqueen181 Curious; do you think removing extra tech from the bike is a safety concern? I dont hate on the advanced tech but it does make it hard to see when a rider is struggling or when they pull off a cool manouver. Riders make their way to MotoGP cause they prove themselves on lesser bikes. MotoGP bikes should be a beast, and to tame the bike should be part of riding in the premier class. In Supercross, the riders in the premier class rarely hit full throttle. Taming the power and being efficient (or in MotoGP terms, economical) is part of it and its cool to see when some do it better than others.

DesmoCasey ❤

Casey is great. He was successful without having preferential treatment in the beginning of his career, or when he didn’t have the right passport.

Biking royalty is Hodgson himself

48:37 oooh I would love to know what they cut out. Any way we can see the uncut version?

Wasn’t just Casey who was villainised - it was anybody who had the temerity to challenge Valentino’s world view - Max, Sete, Marc, Dani. Funny how the only real constant in the conflict was VR46…

It would be great if it can be found easily.

One of the best r race I've ever seen Casey's vs Valentino Rossi at Barcelona 2007

No it wasn’t the same thing Casey was a clean rider Marc never was and Marc did not win the championship that year but he did assist Jorge to win the championship so no it’s not the same thing 🤦🏻‍♂️

Does anyone think that Casey hates electronics? 😂

So the 27 rules i do not like. No keep the power 1000cc, keep the aero, keep everything EXCEPT, auto ride height devices beyond start launch. REMOVE throttle traction control. Boom tires spinning drivers wheelieing making the difference. Leave abs etc that benefits street bikes but YOU CAN slow the bikes via tires and throttle traction control so they cant just mash it everywhere let computer do it

CAREFUL CASEY..😉 (37:08) You just got done patting Marc Marquez on the back for snubbing your Rival (Rossi) then bashing Riders with the "WIN @ ALL COSTS" Mentality... WHICH MARC IS THE ""EPITOME""! of EVERYTHING you said you hate. 😁 lol .Im just sayin

Agreed 100%!!! MM is such a Punk. Casey had his moments but I still respect him for his talent. MM, I have Zero respect for!

No Casey, as much as I love and adore you and what you did on a bike, you're wrong about 2015. It wasn't Rossi which started it all, Marc simply didn't get being beating in Argentina and Assen. For him it wasn't acceptable, after he already was "arrived" as the new undisputable MotoGP king, being beaten from everyone but Vale, the "old King". Australia already was some kind of "disturbing" his race, then everything went even worse. And, after years of "no I didn't nothing of what he's telling", Marc finally "confess" it was trying to prevent him to win the title. And in Valencia one of the worst scene in the entire motorsport racing, with him doing some kind of "guard" for Jorge.

Never liked stoner…personal opinion…but keep aero,electronics and let the engineers be creative! If not dump moto gp as we already have WSBK

Moto gp is shit now need to go back to 2 stroke

2 Ducati Legends talking!

big difference from it being a hobby vs a job

casey had to deal with jealous haters even back in his homeland

and Casey is 200% correct about the state of MotoGP!! its boring, its just like F1. Its all about who has the most money. They are taking the rider out of the equation. They might as well have computerized bikes race themselves. The riders are just passengers. These bikes have was too much electronics and aero. Anyone can ride them. The skill level of racers has went down a lot even in local club racing WERA CCS etc.. even on the streets. Everyone riding around on 200hp bikes with a shit load of electronics and rider aides. Low skill. Would kill themselves on a 600cc bike with no electronics. I race a 924cc big bore Ducati with zero electronics just a quickshifter

Casey just wanted to ride and win. he wasnt into all of that horseshit theatrics like valentino rossi was always making an annoying show that you mindless slaves ate up. Even Ducati putting pressure on him to do social media garbage! he didnt want to do it. he just wanted to ride. He never could understand why people wanted his autograph. he just rode motorcycles he didnt save lives.

You obviously don't understand ANYthing when it comes to racing and WHO really pays the bills!! The FANS!!! Rossi understood / understands that. Casey thinks that just the skill is all he needed. If you can't do the other stuff that comes with racing and being at the front to help the money roll in, then you DON'T the fan base and the money.

Excellent interview, looking forward to the next one.
