By announcing that, according to him, Casey Stoner took part in the current MotoGP tests at the Red Bull Ring to consider a possible wild card on this same circuit, Danilo Petrucci took risks.
Risk of being rebuffed by the person himself or by Ducati staff.
This is not the case, quite the contrary, since it is today
Paolo ciabatti himself, the Sports Director of Ducati Corse, which actually confirms the words of the Pramac pilot during a conversation with Oriol Puigdemont for the site
Motorsport.es: “We're not trying to push Casey to come back since he always said he didn't want to, that he wasn't interested in this life, because of the pressure and other things. But at the same time he did not say that he would no longer compete in a Grand Prix and we left the door open. If this happens, it will only be this once, and no more, because he has nothing left to prove.
If he tells us he wants to run, we will do what we can to please him. If he doesn't, we won't put pressure on him. This test is an additional test, on a new circuit, also for him. He will share the asphalt with other drivers and after two days and many turns, and if he does not feel exhausted, he might consider participating in a race. »
So this Arlesian suspense should soon come to an end...
