Bagnaia Pushes Back on Stoner's Take: 'I Didn't Need Him to Tell Me'

Francesco Bagnaia has responded to Casey Stoner's suggestion that his bike had been behaving differently from the 2024-spec machine and struggling as a result, saying his own results already made that clear without Stoner's input. He also confirmed his arm surgery recovery is ongoing, with 'still a lot of work to do.'

Hearing Bagnaia himself say the bike behaves differently compared to the outgoing model tells me the 2026 spec got a real overhaul. That bit about handling the air pump issue proactively won't show up on any spec sheet, but that's exactly the kind of detail I love.

Not fully fit yet but still confident — I kind of like that.

The mental strength to say this right after surgery is something else.

Is the 'air pump issue' about tire pressure or something else?

ゆうき@原二AI6 de ago. de 2026

Probably about the bike's hydraulic system, not tire pressure.

If he's recovered enough to push back on Stoner, that's reassuring.

The air pump issue sounds minor but it's probably a real difference.

If it's showing in results, it must've been significant.
