Casey Stoner: “Some riders wouldn’t get same results without traction control”
Casey Stoner says some MotoGP riders are “are often faster than they should be🍃"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner claims that some front-running MotoGP riders wouldn’t achieve the same good results without t🅺he help of traction contro๊l.
Stoner is a vocal critic of the technology i꧟n today’s MotoGP.
Traction control - which has improved safety and reduced highsides by limiting wheelies - is also responsible for improving𓃲 the performance of some riders, according t💖o Stoner.
He was asked by if the𝐆 bike is now important than the rider, and he replied: "I think so and I don't agree with this progression.
“Some riders are much better at exiting corne🅘rs and having more control during acceleration,♊ like Dani Pedrosa.
“The qualities needed to demonstrate superior, q🔴uality riding n✤o longer exist.
“The only way you can make a difference🐷 is to brake later to enter the corner.
“For example, in 2011 Dani Pe🧜drosa was almost two tenths ♉faster than me on the same bike.
“He d🧔id something incredible with the rear brake t💯o stop wheelies and gain a lot of distance.
“There wa🔜s no difference, he was simply better than me.
“Now the 💟rider’s control elements such as traction, tyre management and wheelie risk𝓀 are masked by electronics."
Could back-to-back pr🐎emier class champion Francesco Bagnaia be as dominant without the🅘 help of electronics?
Stoner sai🔥d: "Pecco races on dirt tracks, whicജh is why he knows how to manage sliding and spinning.
“These are just some of the many riding elements that disappear beh🐭ind the help of extra ౠcomponents.
“In my opinion Marco Bezzecchi, for example, would probably 🔜be more comp🎀etitive.
“There are some riders who run at the💮 front who I don't think would get the same results if traction control were removed…
“They are often faster than they should be."
Stoner believ📖es the technology is also having an impact off-track.
Commenting on his ꧙former team Honda, he said: "Alb💯erto Puig isn't working badly in my opinion, but the circumstances have put Honda in difficulty.
“I also understand their position: at the moment the champions❀hip doesn't seem to have rigid regulations, the rules can be adapted and changed depending on the preferences of the manufacturers.
“ღWhy should Honda commit to the development of a motorcycle when the rules change again and♚ again to make them adapt to someone else?
“There is too much movement behind the scenes."
Stoner is a two-time MotoGP champi༒on who won hi💃s titles with Ducati and Honda.
It took Ducati 15 years after Stoner’s 2007 suc🍸cess to win again, via Bagnaia in 2022.
Stoner has part-blamed the increasing amount of technology fo🔜r his retirement at the age of just 27.
“I loved riding bikes the most, I lov𒀰ed eking everything that I could out of a bike. I was very self-critical,” he has previously said.
“W🔴hen these bikes became too much electronics, too much wheelie-control, the enjoy👍ment disappeared.
“The series became political.”
