    If you havent seen it there is a wee doco from MotoGp on marc:

    Interesting info on Motomatters. The bike Bagnaia rode at the Misano test did not have a scrutineering sticker. David Emmett's conclusion was that it had been removed because Ducati did not want anyone to know when it had last been raced.

    But, of course, it may be a chassis that has never been raced... Apparently it is not possible to tell a GP25 chassis from a GP24 by appearance.

    And Motegi is a track where the 355 mm discs are used. Maybe that helped as well?

    Apparently he tested all the parts that were put on.. but not "extensively" - I suspect they might not have got the right combo on at the right time, he probably tested things piecemeal until they got desperate and someone said "put it all on" - Digia wants it.. and imagine if it is that much better and Marc uses it.. Apparently also MM was very stiff and not riding "well" (struggling is the word he used), so I dont know we can read too much into that last race.. he was just trying to beat Alex, not beat Pecco

    Marc already has some of the parts. I think the turning point may have been when Casey Stoner said the same things as the Ducati video analyst guy. I too have seen peccos bike make some unusual shapes this season.

    No doubt we'll find out soon enough.. this next race should be interesting

    I watched the press conference at Motegi, which I don't normally bother with. It was clearly so emotional for all of them, and a really cool podium.

    Apart from their talent, they all have something that pushes them to keep going in adversity. I don't think Mir has ever received credit for his world championship, but it would be great if he's Honda's next world champion
