MotoGP 2015

Please elaborate.
I'm sure the world would love to know factual details of the mode of failure.

I'm particularly interested to know why only one rider was affected by this particular manufacturer clock up (allegedly)

There are PHOTO"S floating around the internet NOW, of Dani's bike, with the RHS fork seals blown out of the fork causing his and Rossi;s crash. It is also on www.crash.net man. The seals area as clear as mud to see not where they are supposed to be. Like I said, someone is in for a very dam serious reaming.

Fact is Fact dude.

Do tell, please elaborate with the facts.

I see I'm not the only one who wondered where these facts were.

And you'd put that down to manufacturers, over one particular technician/mechanic?

Bit of a leap, but OK.

Yeah not I am NOT arguing that Dani should be out of the Repsol team, nothing of the sort.

I am just arguing that he has had the opportunity to take a title over all the years mentioned yet didn't make himself enough luck. And I don't think you can just put it down to injuries, the wrong kit, or team favoritism.

A commentator's comment stuck with me for Dani, 'always a bridesmaid'. He just seems to lack that something that other rider's have, I would say character, but then stoner managed a few championships without that...

Huge culture difference between them and say us man. Dani looks like a boring bugger, but the last 2 years under new management he has changed a lot I think

Bummer for all involved eh. we all know the product is good. Ohlins will get seriously kicked, then the technician that did the job will be long gone from Ohlins, well I hope so any way.

Anyone else wonder why they have such an elaborate brake hose fitting on the calipers?

Cable adjuster.

Well, I do now...

Cable adjuster.

Nah, must be a check valve for the fluids.

Don't be fucking stupid, how can you get a cable through a check valve?

[pritch]

I think we can be confident that the Ohlins guys in the Swedish equivalent of bullshit castle will not be celebrating. There have been a couple of product recalls lately and those will be keeping them busy.

Still, I'm sure this won't make an appreciable dent in their sales, there have been many thousands of kilometres travelled by GP bikes without problems.

There is no way I need them but I'd love a set of Ohlins forks. Better buy a Lotto ticket?

From the right direction, duh.

jeez, just how stupid are you. Carbon discs V Metal discs req different pads, so swap out the callipers in 1 minute flat. OOPS Sorry, I am not supposed to talk to you

Might be a dry snap or similar connector amongst the rest of it? for swapping calipers quickly & minimise bleeding time?

Immediately after the race I remember seeing a ducati mechanic stowing a half dozen calipers away at Phillip Island.
