Casey Stoner pulls out of Sepang test |

LCR Honda rider Casey Stoner has pulled out of the Sepang test today due to injury. An old shoulder injury reappeared during a physical training session last week and Stoner will now return to Australia for specialist treatment.
The ex-250cc rider will no doubt be frustrated as he would have been wanting to complete as much testing on the RCV as possible before his debut MotoGP season begins. "I suffered this injury nearly six years ago during a dirt track training. In that period the doctor decided to avoid any operation because he thought it was not necessary and for the following 5 years I really never had problems. Last November I started a new intensive training to increase my muscles preparing my body to the new effort required by this type of bike and I have probably inflamed the old tendonitis. Tomorrow morning I will fly back home to see a sports specialist involved in the National Football League and we will value the solution together. Honestly I will do my best to be at 100% soon because I think that a simple tendonitis is not a insuperable problem".
