Casey Stoner came out of retirement to offer an overview of current MotoGP, with the microphone of Mat Oxley working for BikeMagazine. Positions that will be remembered, and in particular the one where the Australian judges the new generation that succeeded him. He was known to make few friends in the paddock during his prime. After reading the following, his address book will not fill up anymore...
Casey Stoner no longer pilots, but he is still the same direct man with strong opinions. On BikeMagazine, he took stock of the MotoGP today and especially on its actors. A decidedly very different generation, according to what he says. Here is his assessment: “ they shine on one circuit and disappear on another » says the double World Champion astonished. “ This is because motorcycles are now practically all the same and pilots also want everything to fit them. But it should be the other way around. You must forget everything you think you know. You have to ride like she wants. You have to succumb to the motorcycle ».
Casey Stoner puts the motorcycle back at the center of the debates
He explains this point of view as follows: “ I didn't have just one style. I was more adaptable than most of my colleagues, so conditions and circuits didn't matter. During testing I tried to get the bike to do exactly what I wanted, but in the end I adapted to what I had and made a difference. I think a lot of drivers adapt to their unique style and want to do the same thing every week, but every track is different. Each curve is different. We must therefore react differently ". To meditate ?
Got a 7-page interview in the new @BikeMagazine with Casey Stoner, talking about modern MotoGP. He doesn't hold back, of course (especially when it comes to aero wings), plus how he won MotoGP titles with Honda and Ducati and his current battle with chronic fatigue syndrome pic.twitter.com/ImSF9Dm2R5
