MotoGP: Exit interview with retiring HRC VP Shuhei Nakamoto will surprise you | Sport Rider

He confirms my observance that Honda has caught and passed Yamaha in corner speed, a used to be dominating strength of Yamaha. Now the Yamaha uses superior drive as its major strength, a part of racing Honda used to dominate just a few years ago.

So he didn't really understand what exactly Casey Stoner did when he rode either.

Fair comment from him about Stoner's retirement.

He realises Casey was special but can't say too much about it without offending Marc's ego. Marc is special too but he hasn't done things on anything other than a Honda. Of course Nakamoto doesn't want Marc leaving to go and emulate Casey, so he's not going to rock the boat.
That's my take on it anyway...
