Stoner: Weather is key issue

Casey Stoner is confident that he and Ducati have the pace to fight for a fourth straight Australian Grand Prix whatever the conditions at Phillip Island tomorrow, but admitted that the weather will be the main factor in the race. Conditions have been poor at Phillip Island all weekend, with Friday practice delayed by two hours due to flooding and then running on a very wet track, while showers have continued today, along with low temperatures and strong wings. "It's thrown almost every condition we could imagine at us over these two days, so we're going to have to wait and understand what the weather's going to do tomorrow and see how we're going to have the bike set-up, and whether it's going to be a flag-to-flag race," said Stoner, who took pole by a commanding 0.6 seconds today.
