After saying that he had the belief that he could have ‘achieved more’, and there was a point when he felt he ‘could do what nobody else could’, Casey Stoner also made a point of revealing that there was a time he was so confident that he felt ‘invincible’.
Two time world champion in the premier class, with Ducati and Honda, the australian spoke to Motociclismo.it, quoted on Motosan, about how he felt he was doing so well that he even felt unstoppable and, that the was hardest was to keep his attention:
‘I did feel invincible and when everything was going well, the hardest thing was to stay focused. I have always worked better under pressure, whereas when everything is easier, it is easier to make a mistake because you are less concentrated’, he said, recalling after than he came to the point of having to slow down his pace: ‘In many races I was more than a second per lap, but I had to slow down to secure the victory. That was a great feeling’.
Stoner left MotoGP as a full time rider at the end of 2012, becoming then test rider until 2016.
