I first met MotoGP's new champion Casey Stoner when he was a
young lad slumming it in a camper van in Penrith in the Lake
District.
His parents had brought him over from Kurri-Kurri in Australia to
Europe to help him follow his MotoGP dream, which took him all
over England and then Spain.
He simply would not be where he is today without the dedication
shown by his parents - he owes a great deal of debt to them for
the sacrifices they made.
He was a quiet little lad back then, much like he is now.
He is not at all gregarious and is quite an introvert, but he has a
steely determination and focus which is quite unusual in someone
so young.
His father is the one who saw it in him and that is what drove him
to put so much effort in to his son's career. And it has paid off in
spectacular style. click on ozzy go to the full story - pic from
