Casey Stoner is a much more relaxed person now that his racing days are over. In this video provided by Alpinestars, he gives his thoughts on the 2015 MotoGP season so far, how he’s enjoying retirement (answer: it gives him much more time to go fishing), why he didn’t replace Pedrosa while he was recovering from his third arm pump surgery, and his outlook on the Suzuka 8-hour race, in which he will be competing for the first time since his retirement.

Ironically, one of Casey’s great displeasures from the MotoGP grind was all the media commitments entailed in his contract. Now, a few years removed from it all, doing one interview doesn’t seem to bother him much. Check out the video below.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
