The Australian, world champion in 2007 with the Borgo Panigale team, criticizes his former team: “Too much electronics, they try to correct the shape”. Then a comment on the current riders: “They don’t understand what happens to the bike”

In MotoGP, Ducati does not stop winning: 10 victories have arrived on 15 stages. Six with Francesco Bagnaia and four with Enea Bastianini, and above all a growth that now makes Pecco above all the big favorite in the race for the 2022 World Cup. A convincing technical domination for everyone, but not for Casey Stoner. It is he, the Australian who in 2007 led the team from Borgo Panigale to the top class victory in the top class, is skeptical about the successes of the former team. Blame for that electronics that Stoner himself did not appreciate when he was competing, but so important at the moment.

Stoner explained his thinking in the podcast In the Fast Lane: “Today we continue to add more and more electronics. So they try to correct the shape, but not the internal problems”. Casey goes deeper into the theory than him: “I think that, for this reason, Ducati has failed over the years. Regardless of whether or not they can win this year. Even so they haven’t won a World Championship so far.”

The two-time world champion extends the speech to the drivers who currently fill the grid: “I feel that this generation is struggling to fully understand what happens over the course of a weekend. There are those who try to keep their tires, those who try to prepare the bike for the race … All this happens because there is a lot of electronics now “. The exact opposite of what Stoner asked when he rode: “When I was a rider I always fought against my engineers. I wanted to get rid of as much electronics as possible in free practice. Only then could I try to really understand what was happening with the bike.” A difference of views apparently irreconcilable with the current MotoGP.
