"I suffered this injury nearly six years ago during a dirt track training," conform﷽ed Casey. "In that period the doctor decided to avoid any operation because he thought🎐 it was not necessary and for the following 5 years I really never had problems.
"Last November I started a ne𓆏w intensive training to increase my muscles - preparing my body for the new effort required by this type of bike - and I have probably inflamed the old tendonitis.
"Tomorrow (Thursday) morning I will fly back home to see a sports specialist involved in the National Football League and we will value the solution together. I will do my best to be at 100% soon because I think that a simple tendonitis 𝕴is not a insup♐erable problem."
Stoner's rivals will continue testing at Sepang tomorrow fo💮r the third and final day of pre-season track action in Malaysia.
