Former MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner has ended speculation about whether he will make a return to the championship this season in a couple of wildcard appearances, saying it is not in his plans.
The Aussie, who sensationally quit the sport last year, has been testing the 2014 RC213V at Motegi and although it went well and he put in 47 laps, he isn't coming back.
"Thankfully today the weather improved a lot, in fact it was pretty hot, and we were able to get some good track time and work on our test programme. We had a productive day in general and thankfully the test plan wasn't too hectic, so we were able to get most of it done today, after yesterday's washout," said Stoner.
"It was great to see the team, even if there were only a few people here, and I thank Honda for all their support as ever. It felt really good to get back on the bike after 9 months and I'm happy with how the test went, but it doesn't change my mind about the wild cards - this is not something I am planning to do."
