Casey Stoner said that it is not in Ducati’s plan to make him come back in Moto racing and shut down comeback rumors.
The Australian driver who recently announced his comeback in the team he won the 2007 championship Ducati (the last one for the team), he made it clear he take part in a “selected number of MotoGP tests”.
Stoner brushes off the growing rumor of a possible come back as a wild card in the MotoGP championship.
Just after turning 30 year old, Stoner commented in Motosprint:
“There is no plan at the moment. I’m perfectly aware that if I wanted to race, Ducati would put everything at my disposal immediately, but for now we have only defined a test plan. Before going beyond that, I want to see how testing goes. At that point we’ll decide.”
Ducati has not won any race since 2010 – Australian Grand Prix with Stoner. At the end of the months, he will start working with the 2016 bike to help Ducati to win races again.
“I want to work well with [Ducati general manager] Gigi dall’Igna, so I want to help engineers and riders while we work on the new bike’s development program. My objective is to make a contribution to the cause, to make Ducati win races again.”
