MotoGP: Stoner promises aggressive return in 2009

Young Australian says he'll be at full fitness come the start of Malaysian tests

FORMER MOTOGP world champion Casey Stoner has vowed to a return to form in next year's MotoGP series.

The Australian, who has undergone surgery on his troubled left wrist last October, said:

"Everything's fine, though my movements are still a little restricted. I'm at 80 percent right now, but hope to be at full fitness for the first tests in Malaysia at the start of February. I'll be more aggressive," the Ducati rider told reporters.

"In 2009, I won't have to change my tactics but I will be more aggressive overtaking. We should be more competitive with the new bike (Desmosedici GP9) and the new chassis."
