for his true fans........ well i think they have been robbed, and it is a bit of a cop out, but i feel he is afraid of failure.
this is only my opinion of course!

For those watching last years race at Sepang Malaysia this should not come as any shock, certainly not for me in any case. I was transfixed by the footage which showed the awful accident in which Marco Simoncelli lost his life and I remember the camera showing a shot of Casey and his then heavily pregnant young wife in the pit lane. The look on their faces made me think Casey won't be racing GP for much longer and I fully expected him to retire last year. He has a young wife and baby, too much to give up for the sake of participating in such a dangerous sport and I salute his decision and maturity. Casey has nothing to prove, he has won many races on two different manufacturers bikes, been world champion twice whilst showing tremendous courage and skill. Put yourself in his position....what would you do?
