Well....... top 11 by race's end !



Yeah it's bloody great to see Casey doing so well. His family has taken a big risk which has paid off, showing a lot of confidence in the young bloke. They mortgaged their house, moved to Europe to follow the circuit etc. That takes guts.

And how HOT is Casey's wife !!!!


Still I have to give "Best Interview" points to 'The Doctor' (Valentino Rossi, for you uninitiates).
When an enthusiastic Aussie interviewer asked Valentino if he had any advice for such a young world champion at just 21 years of age...... Valentino replied along the lines of " Well, when I was 21 I was already 3 times World Champion...."

That's GOLD !!!!

Great effort by the young fella. Pity he couldn't have waited until Phillip Island to wrap it up though, the Island would have gone off!!!!

Looking forward to being there anyway.

Very true Rossi has confidence way beyond his age thats whats made him a champion i guess :) I remember seeing an interview with Casey he was asked what riders he was worried about,he just said he's doing it for the love of doing it and i thought oh he doesnt sound very pationate,he's a very reseved young man with a strong mind thats what makes a champion i recon :) so proud of him :) oi oi oi

Excellent work. It goes to show that no matter how much talent you have, you can only be on top until someone youger, fitter and stronger comes along. Same thing would have happened to mick Doohan if he hadnt crashed, he would of been beaten by Rossi for sure.

Congrats to Casey ;)
