The development race, aided by the new concessions rule, will be at the heart of this year’s MotoGP title battle.

But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner does not want to hear riders complaining about the🉐ir bike’s performance.

The two-time MotoGP champion has issu👍ed a typically forthright opinion on any rider who looks at his bike, and his team, before looking in the mirror.

“Everybody gets a little selfish in this💙 sport,” Stoner told TNT Sports lasꦓt year. “Everybody thinks about themselves.

“It’s easy to look at the next garage, some riders who are pushing 🌠each other forward.

“It’s easy to look and say ‘they have ജgot something that we don’t’.

“It was easy for Ducati and Honda to look at Yamaha, at the time, who had a buttery-smooth bike that looked beautiful to ride. But it had its 𝐆problems.

“We all had our pros and cons to everything. It ಌwas ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpart of it.

“It’s🃏 something in your mind. You need to look at yourself. Take pride out of it. Say ‘I can fix a lot, in me, withou🧔t looking at the bike’.

“The riders sometimes gꦜet💝 too caught up in ‘change the bike to suit me’.

“Sometimes it’s j🐠ust - wo🎃rk on yourself a little more.”

St🐎oner won his two MotoGP championships with different manufacturers, Ducati and Honda.

It took Ducati 15 years after his 2007 glory to r🅺eplicate it, a period which included the big-money arrival🦋s of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo who both fell short.

Honda, meanwhile, must start their own rehabilitation immediately afte꧃r losing star rider Marc Marquez in the wake of a particularly horrible𝓡 season.

Luca Marini steps into Marqu🎃ez’s shoes at Repsol Honda, a rider feted for his data-driven approach and his potential to speed up development of the bike.

The concessions rule should aid H𝓡onda and Yamaha w𝄹ho will benefit the most from extra developmental perks.

But Stoner clearly wants to see the riders do their part on-tracꦅk, too…
