Right, hopefully the lawyers will stand down now, and the teams can settle things on the track

They have five days to appeal, hopefully they won’t. Ducati are pissed off they had to give away tech secrets but they get to keep the win.

Interesting practice so far.
Autechs notes:
Jack Miller doing his best to get that factory seat
Quatararo showing he's got some mambo
Iannone ahead of Aleix, will see if that stays
Track is a dirty dirty beast

Dumb fucks. A smart team would immediately replicate the offending item and test ASAP to see if it gave them any advantage so they could use it.

Just watched a slow mo of Jack Miller braking. He's running the rear swingarm wing/brace now as well.

I wonder if it helps to keep the rear of the bike down under brakes. Is that the general consensus around the "brace"

I think Ducati stated that it gave 300g of downforce at 180mph. Then again they did need to downplay the downforce - the device was there to cool the tyre they said. A device to create downforce would be illegal.

Gigi not happy to hand over all the techy graphs/data proving his point cause it sorta 'showed' evereyone how and why.

race of the weekend moto3 for me, just so much going on in the leading 17 !

Got up and watched the Motogp,
So its hard to beat a 40 yr old ,even with over 300 hp.
Class act tho....... for the winner !
The commentators said they were scared to approach Crashalot after he got a drive thru penalty . I'd have relished that job....

will catch the junior classes later today.

The ol dag was sure stuffing it to the other bikes, on a bike that seemed to be welll down on HP compared to the Ducks.
That Yamaha was handling better than have seen it do for about 2 or three years though, as was the Suzuki . If either gets a HP boost. Game on.
Until then, i think its Honda miles out ahead on a bike that does everything well, with a rider that's already in a class of his own.

I only saw the little clip they showed of his jump start, but like the commentators, I couldn't see it. That was a tough call.
The punishment was out of all proportion to the crime. OK so they apparently have the technology, but if the crime is so small they need a microscope to detect it then it probably doesn't matter.

This from David Emmett.

"A word on Valentino Rossi: There are people who occasionally tweet at me saying that Rossi is just filling up a seat which could go to a younger rider.

These people are not smart people."
