Yeah but it favored his aggressive style. He did what he has done since the round 1. Today the temps favored him more than others. In a hot and normal weekend his adventure would have finished his tires.
It's weird for sure. Somehow has to do with the tires, you can be sure. Sometimes I got myself thinking some conspiracies but it's just Michelin sucking hard. An weekend where MV rode up front and even won the sprint and riders like Brad, Pecco and MM fighting for 6th/7th. So what we have? Now riders have to be lucky enough to grab the tire of the race. Next weekend is Marc best chance to win after so much time struggling, but I wonder if he'll be given a good tire to try and also if Ducati has what is needed for him to make the difference in COTA.
horse ..... That makes it Marcs line. Pecco is responsible for not allowing Marc the space. Pecco took an opening that wasn't there. This wasn't a racing incident it was Peccer not accepting being passed.
and almost salvaging a pointHow much time until Marini is on depression drugs?Marc still finishing in front of marini despite the crash
I share your view on the incident. It is a difficult double corner, and MM. did run wide, but there was no reason other than ego/pride for Bagnaia to risk what actually happened to take the place back for a corner or two when he clearly didn’t have the pace, and he presumably could see where MM was. I similarly didn’t have much sympathy for MM back in 2015, I think it was at the Argentinian Grand Prix, when Valentino Rossi caught up 4 seconds on him and MM went down trying to re-pass. This incident is probably not going to win friends and influence people at Ducati greatly in MM’s favour though.
We shall see, but unlike at Qatar he did not run out of tires at this race, and I somehow doubt the two factory KTM riders who finished over 6 seconds behind him had more life in their tires at the end of the race than he did.
That is pretty much it. He was slower than MM. at that stage in the race despite the straight line advantage this year’s bike has. MM obviously has to pass him on a corner, and it was going to be on another one fairly soon if he hadn’t made this pass.
Jack’s a nice bloke and all but has had a fair run. He has always had good one lap pace but they don’t run any motogp races over just 1 lap.
I think it looked a lot worse here because of the long last corner with the hill in it. It actually made the Aprilia look like it had more drive than the Ducati. It was more about the fact that the Aprilia is planted better and could take the corner faster and Mav could accelerate better off of it.
