Livio Suppo has reflected on Honda’s near-miss to pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner.

Honda were on top of the MotoGP world under Suppo’s leadership, winning titles first through Stoner and then🏅 Marquez.

Pairing them as teammates repr𝔉esents one of the most intriguing duos that never was…

“T🍷he objective was to make a dream team with Marquez an🌜d Stoner,” Suppo told .

“💟Each one was different, eachꦿ one had his own character.

“But it is very interesting because they were all riders who always gave their best and who have a talent that is a pꦗleasure.

“When y🌄ou are passionate about motorcycles, it is a pleasure to see them on the track, they give you a lot of satisfact𝔍ion.

But they were very different from each other.”

Stoner’s su⛦rprise retirement from Mot🔯oGP, aged just 27, ended any hope of pairing him with Marquez.

"With the size of Pedrosa's physique, what he and the motorcycle weighed, w🐻hat he did was very dif♕ficult,” Suppo praised.

"That's what showed that he had a bea🌄stly talent and a special sensitivity."

But Pedrosa ended his career as MotoGP’s most successful ever🔥 rider without a title.

ꦑ“I think it was a problem of opportunities,🔯” Suppo said.

“Even so, Dani had a wonderful sporting career,🎶 he has millions of fans around the world because everyone has understood how difficult what he d𓆏id was.

“So I think he can be very proud and very happy wi🌃th the career he has had.”

Suppo als🔴o reflected: “Of all the riders I have worked with, surely the one I had the closest friendship with was Nicky Hayden.

“The truth is that whenever I have worked with the riders, I have tried not to become a friend because I believe that, if you are the boss of a team, you havℱe to know how to separate friendship from professionalism.

“But, later, for example, now I am a friend of Capirossi, I tal🏅k to Pedrosa often..."
