Rain hinders Casey Stoner's second Honda test at Motegi

Just like a month ago, rain once again hampered Casey Stoner‘s second test for Honda.
The former two-time world champion returned to Motegi for another two-day (Wednesday and Thursday) development test.
In his last test, that was also hindered by rain on the first day, the Australian tested RC213V that Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez currently ride.

If the weather at Motegi takes a turn for the better, Stoner is scheduled to finally begin testing Honda‘s new production racer, the RCV1000R, that has already been bought by Fausto Gresini for Scott Redding to debut on next season and that Cardion AB has decided to field for Karel Abraham.

HRC team manager Livio Suppo, recently re-confirmed that Stoner has no intention of making a MotoGP comeback, not even as a wildcard.
