Casey Stoner intends to leave illness problems in the past and find a new role helping aspiring rid🐽ers.

Chrꦅon🐓ic fatigue syndrome plagued Stoner towards the end of his MotoGP career, and remains a problem to this day.

Two-time champion Stoner retired from MotoGP in 2012, aged juꦦst 27, and has kept a low profile ever since.

“I am stiꦚll trying to get over chron🐬ic fatigue syndrome,” he told the Ducati Diaries podcast.

“It has been better over the past c🍒ouple of years.

“But I still have had a lot of u𒅌ps and downs, long periods where I’ve been just sat on the cou🐼ch.

“I’d really like to finish that.

“Th🥃at’s🐷 why I separated myself, pretty much entirely, from the world of MotoGP and sport in general.

“It was too hard to watch, because I wasn’t able to get out t🌱here and do anything.

“A lot of depression would kick in over that. “So ♊I separated m🐭yself from the industry.”

What next for Casey Stoner?

Stoner worked as a commentator and broadcaster for TNT Sports a꧅t the Phillip Island MotoGP round this year.

But he envisages a different role in the future.

“I am slowly gettin🐬g more interested ༺in it again, now that I have more energy to give,” Stoner said.

“I can see what’s going on more.

“I’d still like to work with🐭 some - not necessarily going through the whole selection process of riders - but ༺selecting a couple of riders.

“I have a lot to give, I ♐have a very different perspective to a lot of other people.

“I feel like there are ce꧟rtain things in MotoGP that I did better than others.

“T𝐆here are things that I know I didn’t do well ♛enough.

“But certain things where I’ve learn♋ed a lot, and things that I’ve never given out to anybody.

“So I wouldn’t mind having the opportunity to work with the right people to༒ utilise all those years of experience, and put it into someone else who is des🐼erving of it, to help them achieve goals.”
