That’s the view of TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty and their guest Casey Stoner, who watched the Gresini Ducati rider soar to the podium at Phillip Island.
He has not yet accepted a new role for next year in the hope that he lands the vacant Repsol Honda seat, or the RNF Aprilia that Miguel Oliveira may leave behind.“You sometimes panic if you lose your seat, and go for a Moto2 seat or a Superbike seat.“He needs to try his best to grip with his fingertips until everything is gone. Then look at the best career move to get himself back into MotoGP.Stoner added: “I was pointing him out before.
“Reactive rather than thoughtful. But all of his overtakes were thoughtful, planned beforehand. It wasn’t like somebody was just desperate for that podium.”Bagnaia: “Was clear to me that soft tyre would have this type of drop” “He’s got the feeling now. It’s too little, too late, in some ways. But it’s nice to see him get results.”
