On this day in 2007, Casey Stoner entered Round 7 leading the World Championship 🙌

The Australian had to fend off attack after attack from Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa ⚔️

MotoGP world cannot get over stoner ever. That guy was magic

[AmiTNK]

Missing The Fantastic 4
Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, Pedrosa 😥

Stoner cornering Ducati like Yamaha's bike. He beat Rossi and Pedrosa in an epic battle. But still his reaction after finish is very calm. Master of Ducati

I remember coming across Moto GP because there was nothing going on other channels. My first ever live moto gp race turned out to be this one. I fell in love with the red ducati and I always remembered the name even if I didn't follow it later on (I was 11)
CASEY STONER from Australia. I didn't even know how great Rossi was and that their rivalry was legendary.

Casey. The only one to tame the Ducati. Only of recent have they actually come up with decent package

2:20 looks like Lorenzo did not watch this manoeuvre and didn't remember it in 2009 😁

One of my big disappointment as MotoGP fan is cannot witness Casey Stoner vs Marc Marques competing together on the track like this.

Couple things to look at behind this fight. John Hopkins in 4th, and some Frenchman called Randy de Puniet in 5th on the Kawasaki. Hopkins was a fair force in his prime, I miss him.

In this video you can see how rossi's breaking is very late. He is the master in brake too

This is the first time we've got the top 5 finish with the different manufactures.
1. Ducati
2. Yamaha
3. Honda
4. Suzuki
5. Kawasaki

When MotoGP was awesome. Give us back real MotoGP

[francescozane]

Donington should also be remembered with a great comeback
Stoner in the rain.

What a race! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Salute The King, salute The Master, salute Casey Stoner 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 The G.O.A.T. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Even Rossi couldn't tame the Ducati.
Mad respect for Casey

[PessonaEnglish]

1. Rossi was demon on the brake. But I think Marquez is now the best on it.
2. Rossi had tried the last corner overtaking to Stoner before he did to Lorenzo 2 years later.
3. Rossi invented leg out style while breaking
4. Many people thought Stoner won because of the power of the Ducati. He's more talented than they thought. At that time Ducati was really wild just like the current Honda.

Absolute legend.
It's a shame we never got to see CS27 vs MM93, they are the two greatest riders in my lifetime.

[peterhardy]

How Stoner did stuff like that with that thing I will never know! Handled like a block of flats in a flood.

Battle between this trio made my childhood weekends❤️Casey will always be missed, hope to see you back again on that machine
We would love to see a vintage battle between stoner and rossi...
And the major reason i want him back is because i want the blind kids today to realise marqueus is nothing in front of casey and rossi during their prime period❤️💛

[kirthooper]

Wish he had run another fun years. Dude was one of the best to ever do it

[CookePopo-pfmh]

Always an Aissie .. Respect .. class above
