Casey Stoner admits that the continuation of MotoGP without Marco Simoncelli will be immensely difficult, with this weekend’s season-ending Valencia race set to mark the first time the sport has regrouped following the Italian’s death in Malaysia.
“It will be difficult to return to racing this weekend after Marco's terrible accident at Sepang, but I think it is the best thing we can do to honour him,” says the World Champion. “We know we all play a risky game and, even if compared to the past the safety of our sport is much better, unfortunately these kind of events still occur. My thoughts go out to his family and I hope that they are coping through this period.
“The race this weekend is the final round of an incredible season for us; we have worked hard all year and, after clinching the title at Phillip Island, we are starting to look to 2012. After the race here in Valencia we will have the two-day test on the 1,000cc machine and then we can take a well-deserved break and reflect on the ups and downs of a very long hard season.
“We will go out there this weekend and try to put on a good show for all the fans and especially in memory of Marco.”
