Mugello — il Gran Premio d'Italia!

[DidJit]

Not a bad race. There was even some passing!

[Shaun]

Ive said it in the other thread.. that Ducati wont turn in and carry corner speed for a reason ,,, point and squirt is a different case

Stephen

Personally I think it is in the stearing head having NO flex which gives NO feel maybe>?

The forgotten are remembered.


Jorge and Dovi have been all but written off this season but they both showed their class last night. I'm no Jorge fan but that was a champions response, just when it looked like Stoner was gonna run away with it. Respect. Great effort from Dovi too, hardly made a mistake and gathered it up beautifully during his move on Stoner.

But the star of the show was Mugello itself, I reckon. What a fuckin' track!

The other start was the moto2 race. What a cracker.

Fully agreed with that statement.

I've said it before...there's a very good reason why he has a number 1 on his bike.

And fuck yeah...who wouldn't love to be at Mugello for a GP!!?? The scenery, the chicks...the wine and food...and some racing too!!

It was an excellent race,as per Slowpokes comment Lorenzo's chase was inspired and a joy to watch.Stoner can blame his tyres all he want's but it was Jorge's pressure that caused it.

The other start was the moto2 race. What a cracker.

It's a bitter pill to swallow...but I have to agree.

Yes
its a big part of the problem I think as well..and a tricky one to fix ...

If Hyosung can organise a bit of frame flex surely Ducati can! Maybe if they added alot of weight?

swollow pride and get out the metal will help I think. The Britten was TERRIBLE in the front end due to Carbon girder forks things giving NONE or to much flex depending on what was altered, people did ride the Britten well, but most of that came from ( J Mcewan BRUTE FORCE) the Grunt it had, NOT Handling. It did improve radically with a different swing arm height pivot point, but the front lack of feel and patter through turns still stayed with it

Apparently the Bridgestone tech put the wrong pressure in the tyres. Made the back wheel spin up and the front wouldn't heat up properly.

After the race Stoner was even more unhappy than usual, & he probably has a different tyre tech now.

Yeah these (those) things happen. Just gotta get on with the next race! Shouldn't take away from Lorenzo's brilliant race though!!

If it is true the Tech screwed up, Stoner would be mad to change him, as I bet he never makes that mistake again

[RobGassit]

Probably the tyre tech was whorheys cousin. Let's face it folks. He got lucky. He got so excited seeing casey back up to him he accidentally put in the fastest lap. Somebody wound the choke up on that Yamaha during the week too, which obviously did'nt hurt. When you can't draft a Yamaha on a Honda someones been busy.

In my eyes...there hasn't been as much difference as some have been making out anyway...
