Casey Stoner is resurfacing and it's not just for a vacation in Greece with his family. A Hellenic escapade which he took full advantage of before heading towards Italy and finding himself in front of the Alpinestars tailor, which did not fail to arouse curiosity. In the midst of these wanderings, he remains accessible to talk about his old world, to which he ultimately remains quite close through Ducati, a brand to which he is attached. And he who loves well, punishes well...
Casey Stoner does not play it out of sight out of mind with a MotoGP of which he followed the first part of the season in his native Australia by marking his journey with a red thread Ducati. It will be recalled that while the Desmosedici demonstrates its superiority over other machines at each meeting, it is a Yamaha led by Fabio Quartararo followed by a Aprilia whipped by Aleix Espargaró who are in close combat in the title race. The first motorcycle to come out of the Borgo Panigale workshops was that of Johann zarco, third at 58 points, who is notably ahead of the official driver Pramac in his colors Pecco Bagnaia relegated to 66 lengths.
A situation that inspires the double Australian MotoGP world champion: “ they started with a lot of difficulty and with some mistakes from Pecco Bagnaia and unfortunately they lost a lot of ground in the championship », he tells Radio Sportiva according to Motoracing. Then, this observation made, he sends these few arrows: “ in my opinion, engineers focus too much on the bike, not on what the rider wants…They go looking for something special that may not even exist… But there is still no motorcycle that wins without the rider ».
Casey Stoner: “Pecco Bagnaia made too many mistakes this year"
Based on this postulate, Casey Stoner mentions that Pecco Bagnaia is a driver that needs to be taken care of. The facts have shown it. He is prone to mistakes when under pressure. When things are going well, it becomes difficult for anyone to keep pace in a race, but when the grain of sand is detected, the gravel trap is never far away. “ Pecco is a good guy, he has my old mechanics and I know how hard he works » said Stoner on Italian. “ He's made too many mistakes this year, but it's easy to judge things from the outside » he immediately mentions. “ I would prefer not to comment further. But obviously the speed isat ".
« Maybe he just needs to accept the fact that he can't win every race and that on some weekends he just needs to score points. But I insist, from the outside it's easy to comment on someone else's mistakes » ends the one who brought to Ducati the only drivers title to date. It was 2007, in another era in Borgo Panigale, and Gigi Dall'Igna knows it only too well.
