Two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner strongly criticized MotoGP’s new stability control system introduced before the Austrian Grand Prix. He expressed his disapproval of the safety feature aimed at preventing dangerous crashes, stating that it detracts from riders’ control and enjoyment. Stoner, who retired in 2012 and has been vocal about his dislike for electronics, firmly opposes the increasing reliance on technology in bike racing. He believes that having excessive electronic aids makes the bikes easier to ride but at the cost of decreasing riders’ skills and increasing the risk of severe injuries. Stoner emphasized the importance of having a healthy level of fear and respect for the bike rather than blindly trusting electronics. His sentiments were echoed by championship leader Marc Márquez, who also expressed discontent with the new system.
