I was particularly pleased to read that earlier. Well deserved, although it’s a shame that he needed to lose his ride to motivate him to show what he could do.
Stoner said at PI it had nothing to do with aptitude rather the fact Ducati started listening to Digi and started setting up his bike accordingly rather than making him share the same data/settings as the other ducati riders. Since then results have drastically improved. I mentioned it on this thread... Philip Island Moto Gp (spoilers) | Page 2 | Ducati Forum (post 29)
I was talking more about attitude - nothing to do with aptitude. Perhaps you used the wrong word. I was basing my comment on the rider himself saying that it motivated him to work harder and he was seeing the results. Maybe Stoner knows better than Digi. Perhaps all of the above.
Yes I did mean attitude but if digi says he was feeling down or demotivated then fair enough I guess although probably understandable if your teams not listening to your input.
Marini looked so rigid on that earlier, his elbows were out like he was riding super moto (cant say i blame him of course).
