Casey Stoner ranks the four best MotoGP riders with a surprise pick at the top

For fans i😼n the 2000s, many people’s alligiances would sway with either Rossi or Marquez as the best MotoGP rider of al𓄧l time.
But a former two-time champion, once with Ducati and on🌠ce with Honda, Stoner has a different perspective to many and shared his thoughts in a recent interview with .
- Seven MotoGP ri🥃ders sign up fo🥃r Valentino Rossi's 100km of Champions race
- MotoGP💎 riders want fewer Sprints: F1 doesn’t do every GP and they sit in a car!
Stoner competed ag🍒ainst Rossi for ജhis entire premier class career, and the Italian was the only rider on his list that he’s raced against.
The other three are legends in their own right but Stoner picked his fellow Australian be🐻cause of the success he had both before and after his career-threatening injuries.
Stoner also spoke about the most unꦐderrated rider, which in his opinion was current KTM test rider Dani Pedrosa.
Stoner said: “For me, Giacomo [Agostini] and Mick [Doohan] without a doubt. He [Doohan] doesn’t get considered with some others because he🦹 didn’t win as many championships or races as the others, but nobody knows what it was like to come back from the injuꦜry.
“The other riders that💖 achieved more than him never had to deal with the injuries he did. I don’t believe anybody would have succeeded the way he did.
“So Mick i🐼s at the top for me. From that, probably Valentino [Ros🔯si], Marc [Marquez]. It’s difficult to say any others.
“I think the most underachieving was Dani Ped𝐆rosa. When you get to ride with him and understand what he was able to do, as such a small guy, nobody can understand.
“I was already too small for MotoGP. I was 59 ki🦹los and I think Dani was 55/56. Everybody thinks being lighter was better but they are big, heavy, powerful bikes.
“You are not so stable when y♊ou are small. For me, it was amazing what Dani was able to do. Racing with him my whole career, no one can understꦬand how fast he was.”
