After suffering an ankle injury at the United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis, Stoner's hopes of capturing his third title this year were dashed, but he returned to winning ways when he took an emphatic home victory at Phillip Island last time out.
When the Aussie was asked if he felt his retirement would be permanent or if he might return sometime in the future, Stoner was adamant that his MotoGP career would be over after the Spanish Grand Prix.
"The sport would have to take dramatic changes for me to even consider coming back," the 27 year old said.
"Of course I can never say never, but I've got no thoughts whatsoever at this time of ever even thinking about coming back."
"I'm pretty established on where I'm going. I'm not changing my mind every couple of minutes. There are definitely some aspects of my racing that I'm going to miss for sure. I have so much respect for Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo especially. I've been racing them for my whole career, we've been challenging each other and fighting with each other for so many years. There will definitely be something missing inside. But I'll still get to watch them and I'll definitely come to some Grands Prix to enjoy it," Stoner added.
