Not suprised that Bagnaia is "slow" to show his speed on the 25. Thats almost signature,and ditto for his teamate. Martins crash was awful,for him,Aprilia and motogp

All Ducati care about is getting the engine right, as they will be stuck with it for 2 years. Bagnaia and Marquez were riding the GP24 chassis on Day 1. Marc probably couldn't resist having a go!
Who will be the development rider for Aprilia now that Martin and Fernandez are back in Spain? Unfortunate that they couldn't keep Aleix to do testing.

Miller says the red boys are sandbagging a bit. I dont know, Pecco said that he and Marc were testing different things.
MM was reasonably fast at the last time attack..

Post Buriram update:
Ducati using a 24.9 engine. MM average race pace is .5 faster than the single lap record. Alex M, Bezz and Acosta are next fastest at .7 seconds slower.
the next 2 years could be just a Ducati procession unless the other manufacturers can pull something out of the back in the next few days

Um, it always was going to be.
But I read this that maybe there was a glimmer of hope that things were getting closer and that Ducati were sticking with the old engines rather than making another jump.
When are the aero designs locked for 2025?
Don't you look at my accountant.

The other teams still cant keep up with the 24 engine. They have apparently added some "25" parts (thus Pecco called it a 24.9). Crash said they expected more 25 parts, aero etc to be added by race day. I didnt think there was a lock day for aero, just a maximum number of changes they could make, like 3 or something. I might be mistaken there thoughOriginally Posted by F5 Dave

I think they keep aero concealed until last min to limit copying but risky as it affects everything like suspension traction control, the lot.
Not sure but thought it was teams with concessions that could change stuff after a point.
Anyone have the skinny beyond my misunderstanding masquerading as knowledge?

Oxley blog:
Testing can always flatter to deceive. Although some of Ducati’s rivals seem to be in less trouble than last year, the real test comes when everyone goes racing, when extracting maximum performance from a motorcycle over race distance is largely about tyre analysis and adapting the bike according to the findings of that analysis.
No one is better at this than Ducati, which still has MotoGP’s best engineering group.

The 25 engine has more power and a smoother delivery, but stuffed up the engine braking, which is pretty critical. So it will never be used.

The 24.9 engine is political speak for, mm. . . , actually we made a mistake, and we are using the 24 engine. Um let's try call it a 24.9 to mask that. 24.0 would be more accurate yeah?

I've been watching some of the "There can only One" episodes before my €5 subscription runs out. Episide 2 is mostly about Ducati signing Marquez, and Gigi Dali'gna made a comment that really surprised me, when he said that the other teams have larger budgets, so Ducati has to work smarter. That would explain why so many of the Ducati engineers have moved to other teams recently, and also why Pramac went with Yamaha.
Interesting.

Yeah the whole series is quite interesting. Its free on MotoGP's YT channel now though, that's where I have been watching it

Thinks, I've had an email to say my Videopass expires on the 18th, but the first race isn't until the end of the month.

Yeah, well you can watch it ad free if you renew it I guess.
I cant afford videopass so its motomundo.net for the races and YT for everything else lol
