Rumors have recently surfaced that former MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner might make a sensational return to racing with LCR Honda, the team with which he began his MotoGP career. Speculation intensified after various reports suggested that Stoner, who retired from the sport in 2012, has been in discussions with LCR Honda about a potential comeback.
When asked about the rumors, Stoner remained characteristically enigmatic. “I’ve always had a special relationship with LCR Honda, and the sport will always be a part of me. But right now, there’s nothing concrete on the table. I’ve been enjoying my time away, focusing on my family and health,” Stoner said. While he didn’t dismiss the possibility outright, his words seemed more focused on reflecting on the time he’s spent outside of the high-pressure world of MotoGP.
Stoner, a two-time MotoGP champion, has long been one of the sport’s most respected and enigmatic figures. Known for his raw speed and reluctance to embrace the fame that came with his success, Stoner has kept a relatively low profile since his retirement.
Fans around the world would undoubtedly welcome his return, but for now, it seems the Australian remains on the fence about whether or not he’ll throw his leg over a MotoGP bike again. Until official announcements are made, these rumors will keep the MotoGP community buzzing.
