MotoGP legend Stoner was a popular addition to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, wher𝄹e he discussed today’s championship in his t⛦rademark no-filter style.

And he isolated Bezzecchi, the Mooney VR46 rider who is fighting for the title, fo🎉r special praise.

• Could Casey Stoneℱr return to help MotoGP? “The right situation? Enough power…”

"As soon as I saw how he rode,🏅 I liked him,” Stoner told . 

“In my eyes he has something💙 that the other riders lack. 

“And if you left out the traction control, he would be one of the few who would still be able to ride in 🎃front.

"Marco has a riding style that allow🅘s himꦕ to use the grip in his own unique way. 

“Some of the current front runners would probably continue to be in front. But I think Marco would have a small advantage if traction control was banned, 🌜and riders were told to just find as much grip as possible.ꦑ"

Bezzecchi won the Argentina MotoGP - his first premier class win, and a first♒ for Valentino Ros📖si’s Mooney VR46 team.

He i🌳s third in the MotoGP standings, currently 36 points beh🀅ind leader Francesco Bagnaia.

Bagnaia, of course, ended the years of drought at Ducati last season which 𝔍stretched back to Stoner.

Stoner’s 2007🧔 championship was Ducati’s most recent until, finally, Bagnaia became champion last season.

Stoner was asked if Bagnaia was the current yardstick for all riders to be measured against, and replied:♐ "He must be, because he is the current world champion and also the world championship leader.

"He's doing a fanta🌺stic jo🍷b, and not just since last year.

“🐼Even before, Pecco was always very competitive. 

“But I guess he needed to calm down a bit in some ways,🥃 and he did. 

“He has learned a lot in the last two years and worked on his weaknཧessಌes.”
