Casey Stoner recalls difficulties and Ducati’s mistake: ‘Preziosi was very clever; We finished the season without getting any new parts’

Ducati have dominated the past couple of MotoGP season but and it have be the one factory to bring more news and genious evolutions to the competition but it wasn’t always like that, with Casey Stoner to be one living among that not so prosperous times.

The australian was the first ever to give a title to Ducati in the main category of motorcycling, back in 2007, and said to Gazzetta dello Sport that it could have happened earlier, he considered: ‘I personally think still Ducati would have been more successful in earlier seasons’.

That led the former rider to recall Filippo Preziosi, a real «genious» he considers, saying it was a great great mistake from Ducati to let him go: ‘When they got rid of Filippo [Preziosi], it was their biggest mistake. And I have no respect for the way this happened. This guy was very clever. In the years I was with him, whatever bike we started the year, we finished the year. We didn’t ever get any new parts during the season’.

And explained how then things worked differently and with a much tighter budget: ‘For the entire season, everybody else was updating and improving and we had the same exact package. So if we had a problem we had to find a way to fix it with the bike we had and this was always a challenge for me and my team’.
