Stoner targets three in a row
Casey Stoner is targeting three victories in a row this weekend in Sepang as he looks to continue his blistering end of season form.
After a nightmare season on the whole, Stoner demonstrated his talent with an impressive victory in Aragon back in September and the Australian backed that up last week with a processional victory in Japan last week.
And the Ducati rider, who has moved up to third place in the standings ahead of Repsol Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso, believes that the busy October “fly-away” schedule could provide him and his team with the momentum that they need to end the season on a high note.
“Motegi was our biggest question mark about set up and we had to really work hard to make the bike stable for the really heavy braking. Sepang isn’t too much about that, so we can maybe raise the bike back up again and get our traction a little better and see what happens. But we can hopefully expect to have the bike working well there.
“We’ve all been giving 120% all season but it’s just these last two races we’re getting something back from it. It’s a huge, huge difference for us. Going into these next two races is a big clump in a small space for us, of course, but if things keep going like they are we definitely have a good chance of doing well again on Sunday”
