Well, he is currently outperforming everyone on a Japanese bike and since he'll be on a GP24 next year, this probably will not change. I don't think Yamaha nor Honda will make a big leap forward for '25.
Forgive my naivety but isnt that where a riders ability should come into the equation? It’s an old adage but the throttle goes both ways. Or do we want to see bikes run by computers where you can just pin it through every corner in the expectation that the tech will take care of everything.
This is the consequence of Dorna not putting the Gigi Genie back in the bottle in time.
It alluded to the article you posted saying the new rear tyre has a weak point in that it’s so grippy it’s pushing the front tyre.
Just subcontract the front tyre out to Bridgestone. Problem solved.
I feel for Michelin.
What is a ROBO?Have just watched the qualifying for qualifying and was impressed with Morbidellis 2nd fastest time and was just thinking, I wonder if he will convert that to anything meaningful this weekend / how did he get the VR46 ride after this season when the picture cut to him in the garage and it hit me!
Is he being kept around for inclusivity reasons because he is a ROBO?
Tin foil hat time maybe?
MOBO = Music of Black Origin
To be fair he was once a very competitive rider, and FQ didn’t get much in the way of results on a Yamaha either when Morbidelli started struggling there. As was said pre the sprint race he missed the whole pre-season with an injury from which he was doubtless still recovering in the early season. As someone said pre the sprint race he has been getting improved results recently, and so he probably should on GP24 if he has remaining talent, but perhaps he has been judged prematurely including by me.
Somewhat garbled because I was getting on a plane. As someone also said Jack looks to have gotten on better with the tyre this weekend at least in the sprint race, and if I am wrong about him as well I have always said I didn’t think he could ride the version of the Michelin tyre for the last 16 months. In the sprint race her seems to have gone back for that race anyway to what he was for a significant part of his career, not really threat for the win except in unusual circumstances but not the slowest guy out there either, and a lower top 10 guy rather than a guy finishing 15th as he has been doing.
