Might be a dry snap or similar connector amongst the rest of it? for swapping calipers quickly & minimise bleeding time?

Immediately after the race I remember seeing a ducati mechanic stowing a half dozen calipers away at Phillip Island.

That was a great effort from Vinales. Iannone is starting to get the wood on Dovi which is quite an achievement. Good to see Rossi on the front row and a good effort by Smith too.

Considering that the advent of the new Ducati was supposed to cure all of their front end problems, I'm somewhat bemused at the necessity for bigger "winglets" and thumb brakes. If those winglets get any bigger they have to be honest and call them wings.

JL usually rules fast flowing tracks. Throw a stop/start track in and Marquez is all over him and then gone and if Rossi can get in front of him he generally can't get back in front.

They're running narrower fairings. I think the wings are still the same width to the outer edge. Can't help but think they shouldn't work at high speeds with more than 45° lean on. Well, they'll work. Just not to the aid of front grip.

The thumb brake is good for manual wheelie control I would think. Saves moving a foot.

When I was watching Dovizioso was using it while braking (funnily enough), the commentators said it was to aid turn in. That would make sense. If the new bike was such a success though that shouldn't be necessary.

Being a commentator must be a thankless bloody job. We like to whinge about Harris, on Twitter this morning the Poms were ranting about Keith Heuwen he seems to have pissed a lot of the BT viewers off.

Gaz, I was there in 2012. Pleased I went, but it must be the worst track EVER to view. The stand seats we bought enabled about 3% of the track to be viewed and on the embankment we saw about 10% but were so far away I had no show of knowing who was Stoner, Pedrosa or Dovi. The Czechs we spectated with were most dour people I have met in the world. They make good piss though.........

Using the rear brake to turn in tends to help on any bike, whether it's a success or not. Thumb brakes tend to be a personal choice.

Thumb brakes are personal preference surely?

There's a 2010 article (https://motomatters.com/opinion/2010/08/02/those_ducati_winglets_what_are_they_real.html) which theorises they have more to do with shaping airflow around the radiator (or, rather, through it) than anything else, for the simple reason of heat problems.

He certainly was. Dani pushed out wide in the first corner by either Crashlow or one of the Pramacs which put him even further back I think, made for good viewing though in a rather boring race.

Not in the last couple of years. There is no doubting he is probably the fastest guy over race distance in the field. BUT, he hasn't coped well with not getting the holeshot for the last 18 months at least. Yes, I know there have been exceptions in the last couple of seasons, but they've been the exception to the rule. If a track bias suits Honda more than Yamaha, Rossi is the faster Yamaha. Rossi is better able to deal with traffic and a less than ideal bike than JLo and even Pedrosa has upped his game in this regard. If things are right for Marquez and he can strangle a bike like a 14 year-old throttling a trouser snake, he's unbeatable. But he hasn't quite learned how to turn a deficit into an advantage by making distinct changes in style to compensate. It's balls out, hair on fire and it is brilliant!

Having said that, they're all freaks.

Check their responses - to the idea of racing a real 500 G.P. 2T bike - instead of their sanitised diesel trucks..

Funnily enough, the guys who have riddenthem are the most positive. Scott Redding did a weekend at Spa 2 years ago on Mid 90's RGV500 (Ex Schwantz or Beattie bike) in some parades of GP riders. Had his elbow down and loved riding it by the sounds of it....and Rossi of course.

The rest need a slap up the side of their head as they do sound a little "corporate" in their speak...

That's not coincidental. The riders and crew get that drummed into them. Yamaha had a tanty a couple of years ago and reminded all concerned including mechanics that there was a corporate communication policy. Alex Briggs had clamps put on what photos he could take. Not that I'da thunk he ever gave away any secrets.

In a similar vein - that of riders unappreciated by some KBers. I see Cal C has signed for another two years on the Honda. The bit I found most interesting was the term.
Smith signed for one year, apparently at his request, because all of the top riders contracts expire at the end of next year. Who made the best move will become apparent in time.

David Emmett reports that part of the hold up with Smith's contract was his concern that Pol Espagero was getting preferential treatment from Yamaha. Espagero was getting new parts that were not made available to Smith. This is not totally surprising, Espagero was contracted to Yamaha not to Tech3 like Smith. A meeting at Indianapolis apparently cleared the air - until the next new parts arrive for Espagero. :whistle:

There were some concerning statistics recently, TV viewing numbers have dropped right away now that coverage in Europe is on pay TV. It was already difficult to get sponsors, that won't help.

What attitude would that be? Daring to challenge you? And since when is your season scored on how well you're doing half way through it?

Yup that about sums it up. Two of them even as their are 4 factory boys capable of a podium almost every round, 2 other factory boys which indicated last round that their bikes are getting back to their early season form. Add in the 2 other factory boys which are due for a seamless gearbox and some extra grunt... Makes it hard for the likes of Smith to get up and duel with the top runners.

Also last year the Sat Yams were better than the Factory Ducati's, this year I would say that they probably are not.

There's an interview with Smith on the GP website in which he says he tries to go fast on the Friday because the factory teams will have got their act together by Saturday and it will be more difficult to shine. His Friday efforts are in an effort to get publicity so that his sponsors can feel they are getting something for their money.

Fine ride from Petrucci too.

Miller is to get a slap from Mike Webb. He has been there before so the bus ticket may still be attached to the book.
On second thoughts Miller might be more worried about Crutchlow than about Race Direction.

I cannot believe any TOP rider has vision issue;s with any brand of helmet. There are things out there called " No fog city shields" There is NO WAY on earth that you can fog those puppies.

HJC and others offer visors with an anti-fog coating which, when it works, is great. Otherwise the 'double glazing' system Arai (and others) use is the most effective.

My AGV has a coated clear visor and it does work, but it looked as if Rossi had an insert fitted as well. Better safe than sorry.

I wonder what brand of helmet Jorge will wear next year?

None of what you mentioned FIXES the problem like the NO FOG shield Pritch. The NO FOG sheild can be placed in a freezer and breathed on, and NO fogging will appear at all. Ride riders will NOT get the fogging effect as much as a rider who is giving 100% effort in a race either. Body temp bla bla all adds up.

Apart from a real good wet ride from Pramacio to beat the factory Duck.. the major race spectacle was basically crash-fest..

Jack Miller #43 (DNF)

"I'm happy with the weekend, but of course not happy with the result of the race. I want to say a big sorry to Cal for taking him out, but we were both pushing hard. I didn't actually mean to overtake him, I was just trying to hold Espargaro off on the brakes and accidently went too deep and touched him. It was an accident, but all in all it was a good weekend as we found some settings with the bike we became more comfortable with and I'm looking forward to Misano.

More QUOTES and FACTS for some who have decided to come on here and be a rude bugger

At first glance of the footage it looked as Miller went in ludicrously late, but if studied more carefully it actually looks more like Jorge Lorenzo was entering the corner so excruciatingly slowly that Crutchlow was forced to slow to avoid contact with Lorenzo. It also appears that Miller looks likely to have made the corner successfully. However, it is the passing rider’s duty of care to pass safely. But, I think in Miller’s defence, Lorenzo entering the corner on tenterhooks was the initial trigger to what unfolded. Either way, as the most junior rider in the series, Miller is always going to made to suck eggs and apologise when anything like this happens.

Jack Miller – DNF – “I’m happy with the weekend, but of course not happy with the result of the race. I want to say a big sorry to Cal for taking him out, but we were both pushing hard. I didn’t actually mean to overtake him, I was just trying to hold Espargaro off on the brakes and accidently went too deep and touched him. It was an accident, but all in all it was a good weekend as we found some settings with the bike we became more comfortable with and I’m looking forward to Misano. Misano is a good track for me, I like it a lot. It will be a new surface this year so I look forward to seeing what the grip level is like as last year was quite low, but it should be interesting.

Quote from MM

In the race I felt good and I was trying to follow Valentino and I was able to do it,” he explained. “In some parts I was faster but in other points I had the character of the bike, that floating feeling in the rear, that we had at the beginning of the season.

“In rain I had that feeling which was difficult to manage during the race. I tried to manage it but in the end when I was behind Valentino I arrived at the end of the straight,




I braked and lost the rear, the rear was locked. Just as I tried to save the crash I was already flying.”

I was dead chuffed to see Miller up so high, didnt seem to be too lose until he took down poor Crutchlow. Thats racing though and its not always easy to anticipate what might be going on up ahead.

Rossi was superb, well and truly threw down the gauntlet to George. With Marc falling it will give them a bit more breathing room to take each other on good n proper the next few rounds.

There was a special arrangement for Silverstone "in stunning 4K Ultra HD" but it was only available to BT viewers. There is a brief clip to illustrate this on the MotoGP website though.

If they started showing that here I'd need to get a new laptop with the latest retina display to see it to best advantage or a new TV. That might mean I couldn't afford to ride my bike, so meantime I'll just live with 720.

( Jacko was in front, & on the inside, when he was collected.. - I aint saying it was deliberate, but thats what happened).

You're in fucking la-la land, maaaaate. He collected himself, which is entirely understandable given he's still getting used to a machine with four times the power, a fair bit more weight, and was probably getting the jitters given he had a podium in sight if he played his cards right.

How about that MM crash though, scary. The onboard was crazy.... just cruising into the corner, completely off the throttle, and the back end decides it's had enough, giving him a wobble which he very nearly saved. Engine braking trickery playing up? Buggered up setting? Who knows, but I wonder if it will spook him for wet riding a bit. It was the sort of crash that looks like it was almost entirely caused by a difficult bike rather than a muckup from the rider.

Rossi was paying $7 for a win at the TAB (and this is after qualifying), anyone else take advantage of them?

You forgot: "I'm sure if you spoke to *rider* that he would say it was one of his best victories of his career".

Great to not hear masterclass though, maybe someone should beat him round the head with a dictionary to see if he learns some new words.

That Danny Kent is fucking phenomenal, I mean with the championship almost in the bag he still had the skill to get out front, not fall off and blow em into the weeds. Only noticed that one almost off which was scary as heck. I do hope like hell he skips Moto2 and gets himself onto something semi competitive at Motogp next year, he is one promising POME.

Concur. Very cool head. Moto 3 is as hot as ever but he is avoiding the paint swapping of AM and JM. I do believe it was announced that KTM are issuing a new bike across the board soon. Interesting rule that a manufacturer has to give all of there riders a new bike. Ramps up the excitement another notch.

One helluva season thus far in all classes, even moto 2 has gone from hum drum to bloody hell!

You may have just pissed off the majority of well regarded commenters on this thread so don't be surprised if you get nothing back.

In regards to Dani Ped, I suggest you read this: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/222504/1/slippy-silverstone-stalls-pedrosa-progress.html

Considering how he has been injured for most of the season and missed rounds, I'd say he is doing alright. All of them are struggling on the Honda this year, just Marquez is more willing to throw it down the road every week than Dani. Considering all the old injuries the older riders are carrying that is not unusual to see. If Marquez bins it a few more times and Dani finishes well he may end up finishing ahead of him (unlikely).
That and he's beaten the champ leader head to head a few times this season. So yeah, how is he keeping it?

This is a well discussed topic.if you were mr Honda who would you pick? Dani is fast and consistent. He wont tske points of mm but is capable of blitzing every body in the feild.look at his motogp record,he is a perfect #2
And my view of the incident is miller was never in front of cc whilst still in control of his motorcycle

Miller was upright & in front.. until Cal crowded in on him.. it was a racing incident, but basically George's fault..
..if we want to rightly apportion blame..

As for Dani, ( thanks, A/BMW...) - he's an odd one, a bit like Slighty, always the bloody bridesmaid among the big-time boys..

On his day, he can beat the best, but he just can't string 'em together.. & he's likely past his best-by-date..

& Honda doesn't do 'team orders' - Dani-boi was happy to take points from KC (Stoner) when he could..

It also might be the case that he is a great development rider and very good at setting up a bike for the benefit of his number one. Also good at tyre testing
Some guys are no good at this at all.
Sheene was one. That why they had Parrish.
Mike Hailwood was another. problem was no one was able to ride a bike anywhere near as hard to help him.
I don't think Wayne Gardner was able to give good feed back to the factory (likely due to his riding style) As soon as they listened to Doohan and burgess the bike was pretty much unbeatable.
I am not sure but I wonder how good Kevin Schwantz was at it because it was very fickle in the early years.
Jon Kokinski was allegedly rubbish at getting a bike sorted.
Rainey was awesome at it as was Lawson.
From what I understand Biagi would never give any feedback at all in the early years as he was trying to keep it secret as what he liked as he was worried the other Aprilia riders would beat him.
He even would not tell Kanemoto anything when he rode the Honda for him.

Which was always in 250cc hehe.

Lets face it, the guy has one hell of a record whether you like him or not. Just shit house luck. He is easily the equal rider of any other of them out there, but at that level being a great rider isn't enough. You need luck. I still think he could win a title (and so do Honda), just is running out of time to do so. But I'm his fanboy as has been stated before, so ignore me.

You are persistent (as well as stupid and rude), I'll give you that.

Here are a series of pics of the incident: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/image/2015/motogp/silverstone/millercrutchcrash/

The only time Miller actually got in front of CC was when he hit him.

And if you are not blind or stupid, you could see that Millar had lost the front going across the ripple strip. He had to pull it that tight, to try and avoid ramming CC in the first place. YES it was a racing incident by a junior rider as such, but fact of the matter is FACT.

Pol Espargo is another rider that needs talking to about some of his slightly crazy moves he tries pulling out there. A Yamaha PAID rider, nealy Taking out a Yamaha FACTORY rider FFS.

Young Marques impressed me with his calm cool approach, and they way he sat back and did not fight his own team mate to hard, was very mature of him for a young gun. His team mates bike was handling like a bag of shit from the get go, it looked to me like there was not enough Rear Rebound wound on for the wet, causing the bike to unload to fast on the rear often.

Actually I called for the "ban hammer" which is probably appropriate in your case.
You have been gumming up the works here crapping on about Miller's crash and generally dishing it out (but bleating about ad hominems you get in return).

As for posting sensible stuff - you may wish to note that I actually posted a link to the footage that you've been boring us shitless about. You should also note that it hasn't changed at all in the time that you've been running your one twat crusade - he still comes from miles back and uses CC to slow down.

As for Simmoncelli - I met him once in 2008 so I was always a fan.
