Might do better going back to the GP24 and copying Alex, who seems to be dialled into that bike and perhaps has a riding style which is a little more conventional.

I don't think it was show. He did look like he was close to the limit during the laps right before he made the pass. Just seemed to have more tire left at the end.
That's quite a bold thing to say.

I wouldn't be able to say Pecco has the highest IQ of all riders as I have never met any of them.
Seems relatively smart despite making some mistakes though. (yes the drink driving was dumb)

Yes I heard that too. Now it's the case that he has MM data, but he can't replicate it.

Are Ducati able to access data from the Gresini team the same as they could with Pramac?
Maybe that’s the reason Pecco is contemplating going back to the base 24 setting so he can use Alex’s data?

A strategy that appears to have been adopted by all of the other manufacturers
It's always been the case (I think), but usually the manufacturers have 4 bikes. Ducati had 8!

Same with aero
Same with European based testing team
Same with incremental development that makes it to the track not just testing
Same with a satellite team that have the latest spec bike

I remember in the 90s Mick Doohan being unhappy that Alex Criville had access to his settings.
A fair bit less "data" back then but set up would have been important.

What are you basing this on? Can you show me his IQ test? Fact is motorcycle racing isn't Rocket science. Engineering is but he has nothing to do with that. Can you send me a link to Einstein's pb at the Sachsenring?

Based on the fact that despite not being a natural talented rider as Stoner, Marquez or even Martin, not being a super fast rider, still he was able to win a lot of races, recover from very difficult moments and won 2 championships, almost 3 if not by silly mistakes, but won 13 races against Martin 6 in last year on the same machinery. That's the ....... double of the world champion, a really fast guy. You can't do that sort of thing without a high inteligent quotient. You just cannot. He use his adaptative inteligence to compensate his lack of talent and natural skills. I'm not saying he's the smartest ever, no, but among current line up, yes.
Before Bagnaia, we've seen the same with Lorenzo. I'm sure Lorenzo has even more IQ than Bagnaia. Jorge wasn't the kind of guy who had constantly been on a MX track developing riding skills. He didn't do that. Despite that he managed to dominate so much races by a big margin.
You feel when a guy has IQ just listening to him on some ocasions. Take some time to watch interviews and lifestyle videos of Pecco and you'll have the same feeling: hey, this guy really has some brain power.
