It was interesting hearing Spalding reflect on how floppy a steel trellis frame chassis is. | |

Marc Márquez was the third fastest of the MotoGP tests in Valencia, at 0.154s from the top. After reaching the lead on Wednesday, Marc Márquez was the third fastest of the MotoGP tests in Valencia, at 0.154s from the top. After reaching the lead on Wednesday, the Honda man did not beat Maverick Viñales (Yamaha) and Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati), but he did not try to do it because crashing was prohibited.Speaking to the AS newspaper, the world champion said on the one hand that he could not force his progress since it was forbidden to suffer a fall and, on the other, that there were many things to test: ‘At the end of the track tests It was good, but it was not the day to force it. They forbidden me from falling. They told me that if I fell I wouldn’t go to Jerez. I was threatened with a hard punishment, so I took it easy and ended up testing things I had to test, but I did not test everythingthe Honda man did not beat Maverick Viñales (Yamaha) and Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati), but he did not try to do it because crashing was prohibited.Speaking to the AS newspaper, the world champion said on the one hand that he could not force his progress since it was forbidden to suffer a fall and, on the other, that there were many things to test: ‘At the end of the track tests It was good, but it was not the day to force it.

Tell you what. It was eye opening the information he put fourth. They ktm should start with the suspension switch first. And when they are trying to make the Ohlins work. They should have Kalex or the madman next door @ tech3 make them an aluminium frame. | |

Got to agree with you there for sure. Their whole racing department I understand is made up ex HRC employees. They will need to steel some more from Ducati and HRC again to make the quantum leap. Last edited by evo9; November 22nd, 2018 at 09:33 AM. | |

, you may never make it to the top. Toyota was another company that never failed in the racing world until they stuck their toe’s into the shark infested waters . MotoGp isn’t motocross, moto 2 or moto 3, just like F1 isn’t IMSA, NASCAR , trophy truck etc etc. | |
