Casey Joel Stoner, AM, is a retired Australian professional motorcycle racer, and a two-time MotoGP World Champion, in 2007 and 2011. Many commentators, pundits, as well as former and current riders including Ben Spies, Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden, consider Casey Stoner to be the fastest and most talented rider to have ever raced a motorcycle. Born in Southport, Queensland, Australia, Stoner raced from a young age and moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a racing career. After first competing internationally in 2002, Stoner became MotoGP World Champion in 2007 for Ducati Corse. One of Stoner's greatest talents was his ability to ride any motorcycle beyond its limits, even producing race wins on the inferior Ducati after both Honda and Yamaha had forged ahead in development during recent years. Stoner is the only man to have ever won a MotoGP World Championship by riding a Ducati and the win in 2007 remains as Ducati's only championship. After his departure from Ducati to Honda following the 2010 season, Stoner won a second world championship title in 2011 for Repsol Honda. [More at Wikipedia]
