I am a Stoner tragic, but see some similarity although not so much until Pedro actually starts winning when he has equipment which allows him to do so. I doubt anyone else including Rossi could have won a title on that 2007 Ducati, but if you could ride it as Stoner could it was an unbeatable bike. Interesting to speculate whether peak Stoner or peak Marquez could win on a current KTM, both won races on bikes which were completely uncompetitive for others, like the 2010 Ducati and the 2021 Honda.Sure nuf. I was definitely thinking of that when I was typing the post. The difference tho, is Stoner was not a factory bike, and he was on whichever ...... tires Michelin had lying about, whilst competing against more experienced riders who were getting SNS.
If he is trying to galvanise KTM it seems to be working, cf Aki Ajo running the factory team next year.
