Caღ♏sey Stoner intends to leave illness problems in the past and find a new role helping aspiring riders.

Chronic fatigue syndrome plagued Stoner towards the end of his MotoGP career, and remains a problem to thi🀅s day.

Two-time cham💜ꦐpion Stoner retired from MotoGP in 2012, aged just 27, and has kept a low profile ever since.

“I am still trying to get over ꦗchronic fatigue syndrome,” he told the Ducati Diaries podcast.

“It has beenജ better over the past couple of years.

“But I still have had a lot of ups and🐓 downs, loဣng periods where I’ve been just sat on the couch.

“I’d really like to finish that.

“That’s why I separated myself, pretty much entirely, from the✃ world of MotoG𒀰P and sport in general.

“It was too hꦬard to watch, because I wasn’t able to get o♏ut there and do anything.

“A lot of depression 🐠would kick in over that. “Sﷺo I separated myself from the industry.”

What next for Casey Stoner?

Stoner wor🧸ked as a commentator and broadcaster for TNT Sports at the Phillip Island MotoGP round this year.

But he envisages a different role in the future.

“I am slowly getting more interested in it again, now ౠthat I have more energy to give,” Stoner said.

“I can see what’s going on more.

“I’d still like to work with some - not necessarily going through the whole se♛lection process of riders - but selecting a couple of riders.

“I have a lot to give, I have a very different perspective to a lot of o🐽ther people.

“I feel like there a♔re certain things in MotoGP thaಞt I did better than others.

“There are things that Iཧ know I didn’t do wel🦹l enough.

“But certain things where I’ve learned a lot, and things that I’ve never given out to a🌼nybody.

“So I wouldn’t mind having the opportunity to work with the right people to utilise all those years of experience, and put it into someon🐎e else who is deserving of it, to help th𓄧em achieve goals.”
