Claudio Domenicalli, the CEO of Ducati, has been very clear when choosing the best rider they have ever had at Borgo Panigale. Neither Valentino Rossi, nor Jorge Lorenzo, nor Andrea Dovizioso, the chosen one has been Casey Stoner, the only MotoGP champion in Ducati history. For Domenicalli, the best driver they have ever had.

The current test pilot of the brand, Michele Pirro, has deepened even more in the affirmation of his boss explaining that once tested a map of Stoner and it was inhuman. In addition, Pirro speaks openly about the weaknesses of his leader, Andrea Dovizioso. A couple of statements that arrive with the runner-up in the world to be renewed.

" Stoner is the strongest rider we've had at Ducati. He had and has, because he still keeps it even though he doesn't run anymore, a natural instinct to find the limit. He was fucking talent , said Domenicalli about the Australian. Stoner spent four seasons in Ducati, won the only Borgo Panigale World Championship and won 23 victories dressed in red.

It is surprising that Domenicalli does not refer to Lorenzo, Rossi, or Dovizioso, who is his current star driver. In fact, to search for the next one after Stoner, he goes directly to the series derived motorcycles: "We also had other great riders, even on Superbikes: Troy Bayliss was very strong, very determined ", says Domenicalli, who also has no words for Álvaro Bautista.

However, the Italian adds that "Casey could ride anything naturally, he had an extraordinary relationship with the bike. Then he was s his character, of course: he was difficult, he was never happy with himself, it was complicated. But he was a great champion."

Michele Pirro spoke in the same vein, recalling that " I once tested its mapping in a test at the Sepang circuit and couldn't even finish a lap. It was incredible to work with him. "The Italian raves about the legend:" He was inhuman. It ran without controls and managed everything with the wrist, I think it was the only one that had this feature. Casey was an advantage and a limit for Ducati. He won, but there are very few like Stoner."

In addition, Pirro has surprised by hitting his partner and leader of the ranks, Andrea Dovizioso, of whom thinks that "he does not believe it enough and that limits him. It is not easy and more when we talk about beating Márquez we are talking about beating a phenomenon. "A surprising statement when Dovizioso has not yet renewed. Just in case, Pirro recommends doing so.

In the same act, although speaking of another subject, the declarations of Domenicalli worry, assuring that the economic situation that is coming will force all the factories involved in MotoGP to rethink deeply their investments in racing.”Recall that Ducati belongs to Audi and the Germans have already given up on any non-electric race as of 2020.
