In the latest press release distributed by Ducati Corse today, Casey Stoner and Livio Suppo are talking about the coming Indianapolis race and Casey’s injury.
In Stoner’s opinion: “Obviously I’m not happy with the results of the last few races.
We have proved that we are consistently fast but that clearly isn’t enough.
I know that I have got the support of a great team and a bike I have a great feeling with.
I’m going to try to enjoy riding it over the final few races, which all take place at circuits I like a lot.
I also have to think about the scaphoid that we thought had healed back in 2003 but is still giving me problems.
For the time being I have to deal with it but we’re talking to the doctors about what to do with it in the future.
I can’t wait to go back to America and race at Indianapolis, a circuit nobody knows but where I am sure our bikes and tyres will work just as well as they have done at the last few races.
”Livio Suppo, Ducati MotoGP project director talks about Casey’s injury: “We’re hoping that the problems he had with his wrist at Misano don’t prevent him from riding at his maximum this weekend.
Casey underwent a CAT scan last week, which showed that the scaphoid he fractured and had operated on back in 2003 has never completely healed.
With the support of a pool of doctors over the last weeks, Casey will decide if another operation is going to be necessary.
”Twowheels hopes Casey can wait a while before being operated and can give us all a thrilling Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix!
