Tension is rising at the end of the MotoGP season where the title race is marked by a duel between two Ducati riders watched by a third. With the GP23, Pecco Bagnaia, the official of the brand, is under threat from the satellite pilot and equipped with the same bike Jorge Martin who is ahead of him by 13 points while Marco Bezzecchi is in ambush at 79 lengths with a GP22. Gigi Dall'Igna, the General-in-Chief of the Red Army, has pledged to let the "brothers in arms" do their thing, since his coat of arms will emerge victorious in the end in all cases. However, Casey Stoner doesn't believe that all is well in the best of worlds based on his own experience.
Casey Stoner offered himself an outing on TNT Sports, relayed by crash.net, which undermines the idea that everything is calmly under control at Ducati. The subject still remains these famous team instructions which, however, remain of the order of the bad trial made against the Borgo Panigale brand, since they have never been noted in broad daylight. Yet, Casey Stoner lifts the veil on influence work that he does not consider to be good management.
The Australian even identifies it as clearly bad: “ when they start to walk around the paddock going to see all their teams, it is not simply a question of asking a driver of his own team 'don't cause any problems to your teammate, stay behind' but of a manufacturer who controls a whole ". He adds : " I didn't like seeing that and I know Pecco Bagnaia didn't want it ».
Casey Stoner: “ Ducati puts so much stress on situations, they could learn to be better at this »
Stoner continues: " I sympathize with Pecco. They put so much stress on situations. They could learn to be better at it. They are not good at managing drivers and understanding the pressures they are under. They think in their own dimension.
The double MotoGP World Champion also notes: “ they've had the best bike for a while now, but they still struggled to win a championship until last year and this year. It wasn't about the motorcycle. This is how the program is executed ". And he ends: “ they need to give more credit to the pilots. Let them have their say. And take the pressure off, don't put it on ". A recipe that seems to be in order this year. Only the end of the duel between Pecco Bagnaia et George Martin will tell us the truth on the subject.
