Pirro Explains Stoner's Electronics-Light Mastery of Ducati's Desmosedici

A bike that only one rider can make fast cannot sustain development. Manageability is a foundation for both safety and performance.

I would love to see Stoner's feel examined with today's data analysis. The boundary between his technique and the machine is fascinating.

A setup only one genius can ride does not serve team development. Moving toward a bike several riders can test for 80 to 90 laps was sensible.

Almost no anti-wheelie, with control through throttle and rear brake: the skill goes far beyond an electronics setting.

It is striking that neither Pirro nor Lorenzo could use Stoner's map. His reference for speed seems to have existed in another world.
