Furthermore, he wished Stoner for his health and said that it is very unfortunate for Stoner that he had to face such an injury.
“It's been very unfortunate for Casey to sustain such an injury when he was having a very strong season and my best wishes go to him while he recovers. Now, my job is to replace him and I will try to do the best I can,” he added.

the bike more than before.

It is expected that Casey Stoner will be coming back to race at the Australian Grand Prix scheduled at Phillip Island.
