Honda confirms that former World Champion, Casey Stoner has rejected their approach to consider a comeback to MotoGP.
In 2012, Honda had made a record offer of $14 million for Stoner to race on just for the 2013 season, but he declined.
Honda however refused to give up, and popped the question again during last month’s private test at Motegi in Japan, but was rejected for the second time by a happily retired Stoner.
The former rider stuck to the personal decision he made two years ago to walk away from the sport, as he wants to spend more time with his family.
The Australian retired at the end of the 2012 season, at 27 and at the peak of his powers, having won 38 MotoGP races in a stellar career.
