The two riders to win a MotoGP title with Ducati had very different approaches.

But they both𒈔 had Cristian Gabarrini aloꦚngside them as their crew chief.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner won an unexpected title in 2007 but a 15-year drought followed until 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia claimed consecutive titles in 2022 and 2023.

Gabarrini followed Stoner to Honda, where he won the 2011 MotoGP title, before returning to Ducati to assist 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo.

“Pecco is the opposite to Ston🌞er but similar to Lorenzo in te🍒rms of riding style, approach to speed and work ethic,” said Gabarrini said.

“The riding styles are similar with Jorge. Pecco’s 🌜is an evolution of Jorge’s. Smooth, composed, minimal moveme🎐nt.

“Pecco was the first to really bringജ high corner speed to Ducati, at a time when the bike wasn’t exactly known🍎 for turning well.

“His way of tackling problems and his working approach is simiꦚlar to Jorge.

“But is complet✱ely different to Casey who was more insti♋nctive.

“That’s the big difference.”

Stoner’s 2007 victory on a Ducati ca🍌me in just the manufacturer’s fifth season in MotoGP, and the rider’s second. He dominated the premier class, with the next-best Ducati (Loris Capirossi) seventh overall.

Stoner has since opened up ab🌜out the limitations of that early Ducati - also shining a light on his own genius.

“It wasn’t, except for fourth, fifth gear, really good at anything,” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Stoner previously said.

“It didn’t go round the corners. It was pretty good under brakes, itไ was pretty stable under brake🌠s. It didn’t have strong braking power, but it was stable.”

The🌳 Desmosedici project under Gigi Dall’ౠIgna’s watchful eye evolved throughout the 15 years after Stoner’s win.

Despite Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi’s failed attempts to master the Ducati, they would eventually return to th♚e💖 top.

Bagnaia became the first Italian MotoGP champion since Rossi, and the first on a Ducati sinc♔e Stoner in 2007, when he won in 2022. He defended it a year later before Jorge Martin, on a Pramac Ducati, won in 2024.

The manufacturer remains dominant today with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez top of the MotoGP standings.

Cristian Gabarrini on 'secret' to MotoGP crew chief success

Bagnaia, although is struggling on the latest iteration of the bike, 🎶still has Gabarrini in his corner.

“I wouldn’t say there is a secret,” Gabarrini said about his own su🅠ccess.

“I have always aimed for maximum transparency and honesty with r♎iders.

“N𓆏ever hide things, never lie, never sugarওcoat. It has always worked with everyone.

“It’s about building trust and showing𓆉 that t꧋he rider can trust the rider, every member of the team.

“This doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes. We do.🅰 But with trus🧸t.

“It’s easier to deveไlop a setup th☂at works for everyone.

“I have never had secrets, I have💟 just worked consisten♏tly with this approach.

“It’s easy to work🅠 with Pecco. He is smart and rarely loses his t💝emper.

“Even when he’s upset it’s manageable.”
