You'd put Stoner on the Tech 3 Yamaha ? It's not a factory bike.

Funny you should say that, because he's been denying that it's gastritis.

Judging from some of the comments coming out of the Ducati garage, he's hinted at burn out being the problem.

I'm sure I heard on TV that it was gastritis. Burnout - more like he's been riding his wife more often than the bike.

It's been widely reported as gastritis and anaemia. Casey however seemed to be unimpressed with the doctors over in the US and has been questioning that diagnosis since he got back from California.

The "burnout" claim came from comments to GPWeek on Sunday. He didn't use the word itself but it was a bloody strong hint:

Maybe it's just too many years, too many years of travelling. I've been racing since I was four, I've been in Europe since I was 14 and maybe I've been too relaxed this year and my body's decided to shut down and say OK, you're relaxing too much.

Is anyone going this weekend?

Three of us are going tomorrow and camping for the weekend. I've only started watching motogp this year and have plenty to learn about it but it's grabbed my interest far more than any other motor sport.

Possibly.

Depends on a few factors but would like to see Donington go out with another great race.

Looking forward to this race.

Different set-up of the bike and approach to the race.
