The two riders to win a MotoGP title with Ducati had very different approaches.

But they both had Cr♐istian Gabarrini alongside them as their crew chief.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Casey Stoner won an unexpected title in 2007 but a 15-year drought followed until 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia claimed consecutive titles in 2022 and 2023.

Gabarrini followed Stoner to Honda, where he won the 2011 MotoGP title, before returning to Ducati to assist 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Lorenzo.

“Pecco is the opposite to🐎 Stoner but similar to Lorenzo in terms of riding style, approach t🦩o speed and work ethic,” said Gabarrini said.

“The riding styl♔es are similar with Jorge. Pecc🌠o’s is an evolution of Jorge’s. Smooth, composed, minimal movement.

“Pecco w🐠as the first to really bring high corner speed to Ducati, at a ti﷽me when the bike wasn’t exactly known for turning well.

“His way of tackling problems and his working approach is simil൲ar to Jorge.

“But is complet🦋ely different to Casey who was more instinctive.

“That’s the big difference.”

Stoner’s 2007 victory on a Ducati came in just the manufacturer’s fifth season in MotoGP, and the rider’s second. He dominated the premier class, with the next-best Duc🎶ati (Loris Capirossi) seventh overall.

Stoner has since opened up about the limitations of that early Ducati - als♊o shining a l🎃ight on his own genius.

“It wasn’t, except for fourth, fifth gear, really good at anything,” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Stoner previously said.

“It did🐼n’t go round the corners. It was pretty good under brakes, it was pretty stable under brakes. It didn’t hav𝔍e strong braking power, but it was stable.”

The Desmosedici project under Gigi Dall’Igna’s watchful eye evolved throughout the 15 yea🍸rs after Stoner’s win.

Despite Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi’s failed attemp⭕ts to master the Ducati, they would eventually return to the top.

Bagnaia became the first Italian MotoGP champion since Rossi, and the first on a Ducati since Stoner in 2007, when he won in 2022. He defended it a year later before Jorge Mar𝄹tin, on a Pramac Ducati,🅘 won in 2024.

The manufacturer remains dominant today with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez top of the MotoGP standings.

Cristian Gabarrini on 'secret' to MotoGP crew chief success

Bagnaia, although is struggling on the latest iteration of the bike, still has Gabar𝕴rini in his corner.

“I wouldn’t say ther🍸e is a secret,” Gabarrini said a💮bout his own success.

“I have always aimed for maximum transparency and h🃏onesty with ridersꦐ.

“Never hide things, never lie, never sugarco🧸at. It has always wor🦹ked with everyone.

“It’s about building trust and ♋showing that the rider can trust the rider, every member of the team.

“This d꧙oesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes. We do. But with trust.

“It’s easier to 🍎develop a setup that works for everyone.

“I have never♒ had secrets, I have just worked consistently with this approach.

“It’s easy to work 🌌with Pecco. He is smart and rarely loses his temper.

“Even when he’s upset it’s manageable.”
