Stoner to retire

[bigjay]

This is gonna spark a debate weather people think he's better than Rossi ever was because Rossi couldn't ride his championship winning Duc... Best of luck to him though. I just hope he won't want to turn around in a cupple of years and race again cause he felt he had unfinished biz.

Could be a wise decision. Putting his family first and going out (hopefully) while he's on top. Not many sportsman have walked away in their peak only to hang around and become a shadow of their former selves. Best wishes to him. Like him or hate, he's a hell of a rider...
As a side-note, i made a bet with a friend 6 weeks ago that stoner would retire at the end of the year. Sweet, i haven't had maccas in a while!!!!!!
