That obsession with perfection was highlighted when Casey Stoner was asked if there were ever any times that he would feel the urge to be on a bike again while watching MotoGP at home.

At media debriefs on site, Valentino Rossi would carefully arrange the various voice and memo recorders placed in front of him to for a neat configuration, rather than the chaos created by journalists flinging their recorders onto the table at the last moment. Andrea Iannone's nickname "The Maniac" was not given to him for his wild riding, but for the obsessive way he would arrange everything, in his pit box, in his motorhome, in every aspect. This attention to detail can become quite compulsive. By doing everything the same way on each exit, it makes it easier to ensure they haven't forgotten anything: boots, leathers, gloves, helmet are all securely fastened, correctly fitted, and not causing discomfort, and therefore distraction. The many rituals you see riders go through before they get on the bike and leave the pits is part superstition, but also a way of eliminating errors. That pursuit of perfection explains their obsessive attention to detail.

The pursuit of perfection, of wanting to do everything just right to extract the maximum performance from themselves and from the bike is one of the most important motivations for most motorcycle racers, and indeed, most elite athletes. One subject which he was particularly interesting on was the question of competition, why people race, and what drives them, and especially, what drove him. Just as when he was still racing, his observations were well worth listening to, and without the pressure of race weekend and an endless string of media commitments, was even more thoughtful and insightful than usual. After a prolonged absence, Casey Stoner returned to the paddock at Portimão, where he gave an extensive press conference to the media present on site and via zoom.
