One MotoGP legend supposedly has more talent than the cu🀅rrent top five combined.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner has always been feted for his incredible ability on a motorc🌜ycle, and the legacy he lef𝓀t behind in racing.

Thirteen years after his early retirement, he has been p𝔉rais🔜ed for his unique talent.

“He is something special,🔯” Scott Redding told the Motorsport Republic po𒈔dcast.

“He has more talent than thꦦe top fiv𒀰e guys put together.

“The things you see him do as a spe꧙ctator, you don’t appreciate it as we do a🤡s riders.

“You see Toprak do something and think ‘f***!’

“You see Casey do something… first, how? And♈ so co🔜nsistently?

“I don’t believe he had fear, h▨e didn’t fear crashing. He just went, and it’ll be as it’ll be.

“He was angry to win. He didn’t give a f***.

“The stories I’ve heard from when he was young…

“He signed for KTM. I think 250cc.🦩 They said ‘go out, run the engine, take it easy…’

“He went down to the pit൲lane, highside! Two laps later, crash! Just no forgiveness.

“‘I am going out to be fast, and that’s it’.

“That g🐼uy used to go out, crash, come in, first lap out, red helming.

“You just had a huge♚🧸 crash and now you’re going even faster? At least [go slower] for one lap!

“Not Casey, man…”

Redding debuted in MotoGP i🔴n 2014, two years after Stoner had called it quits. But he watch🍬ed Stoner with awe as a Moto2 rider.

Stoner won two championships in the premier class which arguably look even more impr♌essive with time.

The Australi💛an won the championship on his first year on a Ducati - but it would be another 15 years until Ducati were able to win again, through Pecco Bagnaia in 2022. Stoner’s version of the Ducati was certainly not the dominant force we see today.

He then won in🌠 his first year back on a Honda in 2011 too.

But Stoner wasꦕn’t always as revered during his heyday.

“He is not a people person,” Redding said. “He didn’t care about the bull*** of media,൩ that’s not h🌄is thing. Fair play, he made it known.

“He got hate for that which was unfair. He was d🐭oing his job. He must have looked at it like war, with the racing.

“He got hated, it w🉐as the start of social media times. The s*** that people say! If you’re so🌟meone that can’t take it, it’s a nasty place to be.

“I have massive respect for him 🐭for doing what he did, then hanging up his suit and saying ‘bye’.”
