Ducati MotoGP project director Livio Suppo has once again insisted that 2007 world champion Casey Stoner will be back with the team at Estoril.

After leading the 2009 world championship with two wins from the first five rounds, Stoner was sick at Barcelona then battled fatigue at the following four races.

Medical tests proved inconclusive and, after returning to Australia for the summer break, it was announced that Stoner would sit out the next three rounds and return to action - hopefully at full fitness - in Portugal on October 4.
