Casey Stoner absolutely dominated the Australian GP weekend from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, taking his fourth consecutive win at Phillip Island.
The Ducatista was so blazing fast that at the end of lap 1 that he already had a 1.
5s lead while rest of the field knew that they we’re only supporting actors this weekend.
We simply have to agree with Ducati team manager Vitto Guareschi when he said “Casey was simply incredible this weekend” and “I think if he needed to he could have won by an even bigger margin”.
Here’s what Stoner, who admitted that he was nervous and feeling the pressure before his amazing race, said about his win.
“This feels really nice.
I think when I won two in a row here nobody expected me to make it three but having done that I felt there was a lot of expectation on me today.
To be fair we have been going for the win at the last four races – unfortunately I slipped off on the first lap at Sepang but we’ve made up for that this weekend.
Everything has gone well for us, we have been happy with the bike from the first practice and the support from the fans has been fantastic.
I have to admit that before the race I was feeling the pressure, I was more nervous than I normally am but maybe I should be like that more often because I didn’t make mistakes! I am really happy with the way I rode today but every single person in the team has done a great job this weekend so my thanks go to them and I hope we can keep it going to the end of the season.
