Howzat — another Warney - Geoff McClure - Opinion - theage.com.au: "AND we've got to the bottom of the reason why Colin Stoner, father of Casey Stoner, cracked it with race officials at Phillip Island at the weekend. It was to do with a story in the official program by Ken Wootton (former editor of Australian Motorcycle News), who extensively quoted English-based South African Michael Scott, who has been covering the 500cc/MotoGP scene for nearly 30 years. Scott basically said Stoner had been prickly to deal with in the past, but was now showing signs of maturity. Colin Stoner obviously saw red but was told there was nothing to apologise for, that people who paid $8 for an official program deserved more than puff pieces about Casey. Those in the know say it's almost impossible for local press to get an interview with Stoner, even specialised magazines"
