BTW, how has this thread not degenerated into a buncha pictures of Adriana?  You guys are letting me down.

i almost hesitate to post this... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77624

Although they didn't specifically diagnose overtraining, it sounds like the same thing to me.  My understanding is that it can take a long, long time to recover from acute overtraining.

I'm not sure I've ever taken the time to check her out. Now, I'm not sure I can stop. Thanks. 

How old is she now?  19 or something?

 
Let's see, Casey's wife is still a teenager and his doctor, who's named after a Starbuck's coffee drink, thinks he knows how fatigued a 50-year old feels. 

I guarantee that if Adriana spent some time with this 50-year old he'd feel a whole lot younger very quickly!

Keep dreaming, that's what the interwebs are for I guess.

I think Schwantz covered just about all my points in the last few weeks.   Least someone agrees with me.   

Woah......these rumors are getting a little edgy for me!  If this it true, Stoner's recent actions are just a temper tantrum.  He will not be able to handle his #1 position on the Factory squad being threatened!

In my opinion any one who can ride a motorcyle fast is a legend. I'm not talking about someone who may think they can ride fast on the road, I mean riders who are consistently fast day in day out. Testing, qualifying and racing in wet and dry conditions. Most of the time through the season they do it injured. And on top of that they are under a constant spot light in particular from the European Press.

The people knocking Casey seem to forget his efforts to keep the Duke on the podium despite throwing up during the race. Did you even watch the race? when he got of the bike he was finished, you could see it.

No other rider has been able to make the bike go as fast as he does. In 2007 all Ducati fans were on the band wagon, yet when he becomes ill, the vultures come out. What makes it really distastfull for me is that this crap is on a Ducati Forum!

Give the guy the benefit of doubt, or if you continue to knock him prove that you can at least ride as fast and get your lap times up to speed.

He will be back and he will go fast, I'm sure faster than any person who is bagging him on the forum. And if it turns out the poor bastard has some long term health problems that doesn't allow him to ride again, either way there will be some humble pie for you pretenders to chow down on!

Wake up and support all racers, in particular those on a Ducati.

Cheers 

^^^ I think you're overstating the presence of "vultures" a little bit. Casey still has a lot of support from Duc fans, especially as no one else has shown the ability to corner effectively on a buckin' bronco.
