Casey Stoner defends Filippo Preziosi

Filippo Preziosi was removed from his position of General Manager of the Corse department last November and the Italian engineer resigned from the company after nineteen years for ‘health reasons,’ and apparently Casey Stoner who rode for the Italian marque for four years and gave them their first MotoGP title was not happy with the decision, and said so when he was interviewed during this past weekend, while attending the Australian GP in Melbourne as a guest of the Red Bull Formula 1 team.

“Ducati made ​​a series of errors.
With the budget that was used during the Rossi period, I think we could have won a lot more and, above all have kept winning.
They thought, “We achieved these results with Stoner, then it will get better with Valentino”, there was a time when they didn’t have so much passion.

Removing Preziosi was a bad choice: he is a fantastic engineer and created the project from scratch, a winning project with so much untapped potential.
When I went to Honda I brought me the whole crew with me because I knew we could win again and if I could have, I would have taken him with me,” said the former two-time World Champion to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
