Casey Stoner has commended Marc Marquez for prioritising his enjoyment of racing – and thereby avoiding an early retirement.
Australian motorcycle racer Casey Stoner retired from MotoGP in 2012 at the age of 27, having won the championship twice. He claimed that he no longer enjoyed the sport. On the other hand, current MotoGP rider Marc Marquez had also been going through a difficult period earlier this year. However, his debut with Ducati during the Valencia test brought back his joy for racing. Stoner believes that if Marquez is enjoying his racing, he won’t take unnecessary risks. It is crucial for Marquez to find that enjoyment again and have a reason to push through the challenges and injuries. Stoner himself retired because he no longer found a reason to continue, as the sport had become too focused on electronics and lost its enjoyment and became too political.
