“We have followed Casey since the very beginning of his international racing career, from the days when he and his family were doing it tough living in a bus in the UK, right through to his two world championship wins and his decision to retire,” Rust said.
“We have found some terrific content while putting this documentary together including an interview conducted by the late Barry Sheene when Casey was just 15 years old.”
The one hour special will feature interviews with Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Nicky Hayden, Dani Pedrosa, Mick Doohan, Wayne Gardner, Craig Lowndes, Jamie Whincup, Mark Webber and a variety of people that influenced Stoner’s motorcycling life and career.
The AirAsia Australian MotoGP kicks off with practice this Friday.
