Moto: Stoner fired up over new Ducati by Virgil Ellipse
13th Jan 2010
2007 MotoGP champion Casey Stoner has said that he was "fired up over the new Ducati" at the team's Wrooom press event in Madonna di Campiglio.

We don't usually cover bike racing on these pages, of course, but that seems like a pretty harsh punishment for his unsuccessful 2008 title campaign.

Has anyone called Amnesty International?
