Spies for Rossi's factory Yamaha

[Crasherfromwayback]

Bayliss for rossi's ride?..that would be cool

Bayliss is still contracted to Ducati as far as I know.

Give Toseland another go , he may go faster than he does on the SB and if the team plans it well enough he can hold the entire field up while Jorge gets away at the front , seems to be his latest specialty style.

I heard an interview with Keith Code who had been watching MotoGP. He was saying that one of the differences between Toseland and the "aliens" was that Toseland was still trail braking, the aliens apparently having moved on from that. They are seemingly either on the brakes or off, no mucking about.

Crutchlow should get the call i think! Seems to be the man with the fastest times in WSB (qualifying) Seems he is willing to go the extra step when need be. Maybe put Spies on the factory and Cal in the Tech 3 garage

I think you got it right. Like you say Cal is one of the fastest in quilifying have 3 superpoles and 3 podiums so far this season.

That was evident at Kyalami this year.

I remember that interview "You don't make time on the brakes. You can catch somebody, but you don't necessarily make time on them."

Keith also commented that James was an excellent racer, and he didn't get any slower, he just got left behind.

That's interesting but I don't fully understand what he means by that. All top riders would all use trail braking and it definately improves lap times. Maybe he means that they get off the brakes ealier and crack the throttle open early with complete faith that the electronics will settle the bike for them?

Agreed Dam, getting off them is just as importyant as getting on them

Tell me mate, do you have break off ref points at Manfield after all your miles around there????

I guess I could mark them on a track map but to be honest it would more likely come down to feel and also depending on my line. For example , if I am passing someone or get into a corner too hot then I will trail for longer.

The best advice that I have read was to either be on the brakes or on the throttle - no point coasting around a corner.

As you have said yourself

it Comes down to feel write? WRONG DUDE, Practise these points, and you will be Quyicker, feel is NOT FACT!

Of course this will alter if passing people, but in general, Break OFF Points are worth a lot of time, at the end of a whole lap

Just ask the California Superbike riders school up at hampton, I am sure they KNOW all this hahaha

Looks like it's Takahashi.

Good advice.

I have reference points in a turn so that I know where I am and when to get on the gas, which most of the time is the same as when to get off the brakes.

In terms of feel, I mean that my braking and throttle input will be affected by the feedback I am getting through the tyres. Something that has held me back when I put new tyres on is that my reference points change due to the extra grip compared to when I was practicing on worn tyres.

Yea, gingers are fast! I guess it would be cruel of nature not to give them at least one good characteristic
