The Aussie say he'd give some thought to coming back to racing only if the MotoGP bikes would be stripped of the electronics and become more powerful. While Dorna making such a move is highly improbable, Stoner adds that with the level of electronic control one the present bikes, pretty much anyone can ride a MotoGP bike.

He also mentions that he used to shut down certain electronic systems on his own bike, especially traction control in order to get a better feel of the bike and the full extent of the power deployment, learning how to control it with no other help coming form electronics.

Stoner declares he'd like to see the MotoGP bikes reaching around 300 hp for a genuine dose of authentic racing fun. The 2-times world champion also says he's quite happy with his work at HRC with the 2014 prototype, especially as he can ride the way he wants without any pressure from the cameras.

As for the V8 racing in Australia, Stoner mentions he will no longer be part of it in 2014.
