Francesco Bagnaia has the “same mental attitude” as Casey Stoner.
That’s according to Davide Tardozzi, the Ducati team manager who oversaw Bagnaia emulating Stoner’s achievement of winning the MotoGP title.
The famous Italian manufacturer endured a generation of hurt since Stoner’s glory in 2007, until Bagnaia triumphed last year.“Stoner and Bagnaia are two different drivers, but they have the same mental attitude,” Tardozzi told“I think Pecco is still growing. He already took a big leap by winning the championship, but the biggest jump in his head has been done this year, after the two falls in Argentina and Austin.
“He is an intelligent boy and has spoken a lot with the team, and what happened has made him take another step to make him even more of a champion. Now he has the right mentality.“Right now it is showing that he is growing, as I told you before. “The championship hasn't been won yet, because 62 points are nothing with everything that lies ahead and 37 points at stake every weekend.
