Still my all-time favourite MotoGP rider, not only for the simple fact that Casey has the same birthday (October 16) as yours truly… of course, Casey’s 2011 title was won on his 26th birthday.

So to celebrate the day, and for the fact that the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix is this weekend, here’s Stoner drifting at 265 km/h through Turn 3 at Phillip Island while being chased by Valentino Rossi in 2009.

Turn 3, aka STONER CORNER.
