Maybe Michelin should take a good hard look at themselves after 2020.
I watched a bit of Prac 2 last night, forgot it was on this weekend.
Only Prac 2 but all the Ducs well down . Go Yams !!!
will they call a holt to this year, I wonder.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
They're building tyres to work in a certain temp range. Its almost impossible to make a tyre soft enough to give the grip that isn't torn apart by the HP the modern bikes are putting out without that operating window I'd say.
Makes for an interesting championship though

The manufacturers can get caught out when the spec tyre changes. Yamaha took a long time to adapt to the Michelins IIRC. I guess as Michelin refines their specs each year the new hoops suit some teams better than others. Presumably the bikes are designed without knowing how they will react to the new tyres.
One comment I saw on Twitter suggested that Ducati make four bikes for testing, and they are the bikes that will be raced that season. Honda (and Yamaha?) have test bikes, they then build new bikes for the season incorporating whatever showed up in testing. Maybe I'll ask Alex Briggs at the end of the season? He's worked for them all.

Bah.
If they were real men the rules would be 1000cc anything goes. Real engineering Brucey . Not just diesels.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I've been catching up on the first race at Aragon after watching Bathurst last weekend.
Just wanted to check I hadn't watched the race in a parallel universe where Rins didn't crash while leading and A Marquez finished 2nd after out cornering every bike on the track.
But then I saw who's on pole this weekend so it must be true.
What a crazy season.

Has there been a season when every team has won a race? Might be a big ask for Aprilia without PI on the calendar.

Aleix put a CRT on the podium in the wet once...
Don't rule anything out!
Taka has been improving steadily every season he's been on that bike, great to see him crack the code finally.
I'll be cheering him on for the win this evening

Tell you what they are learning fast as
If MM isnt 100% and Pol doesn't get his head around the Honda quick those boys might make em look bad LOL

i reckon we wont see MM ride in anger this season
