MotoGP's Stoner to Extend Contract
Ducati to Keep the Current Points Leader Through 2008
Casey Stoner, current MotoGP World Championship points leader, signed an extension into next year to continue riding the Marlboro Ducati , looking to extend through 2010.
Dorna Sports reports that 21 year old Australian Casey Stoner is all set to continue riding with the Marlboro Ducati team on the Desmosedici through the 2008 season after signing contract.
Stoner's manager, Colin Stoner, says Casey will likely sign a contract that will take him through the 2010 season.
I can totally understand why the higher ups at Marlboro Ducati would want Stoner to keep riding for them; quite simply, he's taking Valentino Rossi to the cleaners. Not many riders can beat Rossi, and if you've got one in your corral, you keep him!
