Short Bio: Casey Stoner born in Australia in 1985 to a motorcycle loving family, Stoner has been around bikes his entire life. Casey entered into his first race at the age of four, and has been racing motorcycles ever since.Stoner traveld around Australia as a child, racing in just about any race that he could find. By the time he was 14, Stoner had won 41 dirt and long track titles, and 70 state titles. Stoner was obviously talented enough to compete in road racing, but at just 14, he wasn't old enough to race in Australia. He was old enough, however, to race in England. So Stoner's parents packed up shop and moved across the ocean so a young Stoner could try his luck with road racing.
Stoner's brimming talent was noticed by MotoGP great Albert Puig, who encouraged Stoner to make the step up and race on the world circuit. Stoner was picked up by the Safilo Oxydo LCR team, and began racing immediately in the 250cc class. Stoner held his own in the 250cc class, but after a season void of podiums, he decided to try his hand in the 125cc class. Stoner is changing teams again this year, and it looks like a match made in racing heaven. Stoner and the Repsol Honda team had an amazing preseason, and they clearly have what it takes to put the Australian back on top of the racing world.
