Moto GP 2022

[Autech]

Now onto the race:

Fabio - maniac on the brakes. Awesome move on Miller, I did wonder if that was possible when I saw the layout of the corner so grateful for Fabs for showing us it can be done

Peco - on form, look out

Miller - loving life right now, newly married and enjoying himself, I won't be surprised if he decides to call it quits in a few years to enjoy his millions.

Martin - he who tries to outbrake Miller on the same machine shall fail badly

The beast - deserves the factory red next year, I doubt Peco would have won if his rim wasn't broken.

Aleix - riding like a championship contender, would have been more in the mix if he could have locked his start device in, Aprilia still needing a strong point to exploit in a battle though.

Moto2, at its peak again.

Looks promising for Aprilia, its their second worst track, and even MV was right on Aleix's ass most of the time.

If they can make that Yamaha faster, and not lose its other characteristics, FQ is pretty much unbeatable.. only possibly by MM if they can get the Honda working and he is back to normal(ish)

You're 100% right there, a faster bike and he'd be goneskis.

I think Fabio has MMs measure TBH, maybe at his peak but its not lost on me that all this started because he was trying to psych out Fabio.

Fabio is the next evolution of Alien, he can find the very limit of grip without falling off.

MM would find the limit by falling off.

This is until Acosta turns up and smokes them all anyways. Excited to see 2 awesome riders like Mir and Rins on the Honda next year, we'll see how bad that Honda actually is.

Yeah, I am beginning to think FQ might be the new Alien... but I think MM is capable of going just past that limit and still managing to keep the bike up which means he can squeak out that extra metre. He can only find that out by going over the limit though, which is what makes him the Alien, I guess (at least, thats how I see it). He's aware he is going over the limit, and having gone past it, he knows the feeling and can act; rather than go "oh I am crashing hold on".. he he goes, oh this is going down, fire countermeasures now..

It just gives him that fraction more.. But then, remember when he waited patiently and then just pounced and then gapped people? Or did an FQ and got in front and went 4 seconds ahead and just stayed there?

You're right though, FQ is willing to throw the bike at something, but I am not sure he can throw it like MM. That last pass on Miller was like something you'd see MM do.. but MM would have been sideways with his front wheel 30cm off the ground :P

I think Pol has done that already. He was awesome on the KTM.

I can see him thinking. . ' Geez that looked beautiful in my mind just before I tried it. ' .

the problem is that if you change a bike in some way something else changes.A more powerful Yamaha will be a harder to ride Yamaha IMHO

yeah, that was why I mentioned if they can keep with its current characteristics..

It will be interesting to see how things pan out next year

It does seem the jap bikes bikes have progressed to some "look brilliant on it" and some "can't do a damn thing" on the same bike.
And some that can't do a damn thing have been top riders in the past like Morbidelli compared to Fabio or MM compared to Pol's struggles for example.
It like if you can't be a different rider then change brand and see if that works or get the boot.

MV has been making a good fist of it but maybe the bikes have got too precise to ride.

Also can't see how the safety side can condone those stegosaurus fins on the tail.
Gonna make somebodies arse crack bigger sooner or later


That last Moto2 was the best I have seen from that class last race out.

[Autech]

I think Pol has done that already. He was awesome on the KTM.

Yeah he was, but not quite as awesome as Olivera and Binder perhaps, but many of us thought he'd do alright on it.

Shit of Puig to ditch him so quickly too, the mans gone through some riders trying to replace his aliens.

Question is how the hell they put him back together last time with the bone 30 Deg out! Surely Surgeons should be better than builders FFS????

The leg bones connected to the knee bone

The knee bones connected to the thigh bone

The thigh bones connected to the elbow bone

The elbow bones connected to the head bone

Umm I don't think that's what happened. After his arm healed he had restricted range of movement. To get the range he wanted, they sawed through the bone and twisted it 30 degrees.

Somewhat similar to Les Paul the guitarist and guitar designer. He was involved in a traffic accident and was advised he would have very limited movement, so he had his arm set in the position he needed to play.

Unfortunately it seems its pretty common..... It seems its hard to tell with no real easy way of making sure with the Humerus.
and its an uncommon break.
I posted something a while back.

About 4 years i snapped my humerus.
As they expected it to heal it was left ages in a hanging cast and not plated until much later.
After they plated it, it was great but it always felt it was rotated 20-30 degrees from where it should have been, as i couldn't go palms down to 180 degrees.
I was told by my surgeon this was from lack of movement and muscle contracture. but doing a bit of reading up now, it seems that misalignment in surgery for the Humerus is very common. (malrotation of over 20 degrees was found in 27.2% in the IMN group (all patients had humeral head internal rotation) and 40.9% in the MIPO group (55.6% of patients had internal rotation and 44.4% had external rotation) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-98040-6

His one might not be 30 Degrees out but he might be able to ride better with it twisted 30 degree due to what movement he lost
