MotoGP star Casey Stoner and wife Adriana are proud parents of a baby girl born overnight in Switzerland. Stoner, the two-time MotoGP world champion and Adriana who is from Adelaide, have named their daughter Alessandra Maria Stoner.
Alessandra, weighing 2.8 kgs, was born late evening Thursday, 16th February European time.
The Stoner's are based near Lausanne in Switzerland to fit in with Casey's European MotoGP schedule.
''Mum and baby are perfect with no complications,'' said a spokesman for Stoner's Honda team.
Stoner is preparing to defend the MotoGP championship he won last year in his first season with Honda. He resumes pre-season testing at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia on the 28th February.
Over the past six season Stoner is the only rider to win more MotoGP races than seven-time champion Valentino Rossi, out-gunning the Italian great 33 wins to 26.
