We were walking through the paddock last year at Laguna Seca when Casey Stoner pulled in to park after arriving at the track for Saturday morning prep and practice. My wife and I casually walked up to him and struck up a conversation. He was very friendly, approachable and down to earth. We spoke for a couple minutes before he signed my ticket holder. I asked for a photo and he was more than willing to oblige and even had his wife take the photo so my wife could be in it as well. We're looking forward to attending both rounds this year. Seeing those guys in action is nothing short of amazing.
Spies tucked in carrying the front wheel while charging up to the corkscrew. Probably my favorite photo of the weekend.
