Casey Stoner has moved to quash rumors of his retirement which appeared in the Spanish press after Jerez. He would continue competing in MotoGP for as long as he still enjoyed the racing, and right now, he was still having fun, he said after the pre-event press conference for the Estoril MotoGP round. When he stopped having fun, he would retire, but that moment had not yet been reached, he said.
The rumors of his retirement which had emerged had irritated the reigning World Champion, and he had a few sharp comments for the media who made them. Asked by one journalist what he meant when he said he intended to continue racing for a few more years, Stoner retorted "I was basically saying, don't listen to what you read in the press. Don't read what you produce." Stoner compared it to rumors that appeared after he took time off from racing while suffering with lactose intolerance, which also claimed he was ready to walk away from racing. "This was the same thing as a few years ago, I spent one race out because I was not capable of racing, but everyone said I was retiring during this period. So this is just another one to start with the rumors, but it has no fact."
