Casey Stoner He was a man who always spoke clearly. The two-time world champion MotoGP (2007 and 2011), in an interview for ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, confessed what he considered the five best drivers in history.
“Giacomo Agostini, Mick Doohan for how he recovered from his injuries, Valentino Rossi, Marc Márquez… it’s hard to name others,” the Australian acknowledged.
“He who got the least with respect to his talent was Dani Pedrosa. Everyone thinks that being light is an advantage, but motorcycles are heavy and very powerful. For a small boy, he is very fast. I myself am little to MotoGP, weighing 59 kilograms. I think Pedrosa weighed 55″, added the ’27’. And the Catalan is the only one of his top-5 who did not win any title in the premier category.
Asked if he himself was part of this list, Stoner He has stated that “I don’t know if I belong to this group. I am very proud of my career, although I could achieve more. I am very grateful for everything I have learned, but I don’t think I can consider which is one of them.”
“I am happy with what I have achieved, it is more than many other people could have dreamed of and the opportunities I have had are incredible. For example, I have been able to set up a 500cc for the first time in Goodwood. Simply incredible,” concluded the former pilot.
