MotoGP: Casey Stoner still in shock after his fall

8-18-2008

by Luc Fradette

Reigning MotoGP champion, Casey Stoner is still appalled by his unexpected fall during the last Czech Grand Prix on the Brno circuit. The Australian conceded that the accident was a major blow to his title aspirations.

The Ducati ace, who started from pole, was leading the field when he fell on lap 6 handing out his title rival Valentino Rossi the victory and an almost unreachable lead of 50 points.

"The crash came out of the blue," stated Stoner. "That corner was an easy one but I lost the front and it happened very quickly. It was my mistake."
