Ahead of the British GP, MotoGP's Francesco Bagnaia discussed his recovery from right forearm surgery, saying he's 'doing quite well' but has significant rehab ahead. Responding to Casey Stoner's public comments about his bike, Bagnaia said, 'Casey has a special eye, but I didn't need his opinion to understand this situation.' He named Ogura and Marquez as the season's most consistent riders and Bezzecchi as the most competitive despite recent bad luck.

From what I've seen trackside, Bagnaia calling his forearm recovery 'doing quite well' while honestly admitting there's a lot of rehab left is the kind of candor you can trust. Acknowledging Stoner's point while firing back that he 'didn't need his opinion' shows a champion who's kept trusting his own feel corner entry to exit.

Love that fatherhood sharpened his focus instead of the opposite.

Surprised he admitted Bezzecchi had the most momentum.

Hearing there's still a lot of rehab left for that arm worries me a bit.

The way he brushed off Stoner's comment is very champion-like.

Naming Ogura and Marquez as most consistent tracks with the numbers.
