Thanks Tom, Good article. Not sure he complete discounted the gap in power and the result it creates with traction. The article just goes to show how technical the sport is and as a result how much of a team sport it is. Gone are the days of the mechanic in the pits tuning up the carbie of the 2 stroke so it is perfectly lean and fast.
I know that some fans believe it is all about the rider. Well without the engineer they would be riding push bikes!
Indeed, i said as much recently in another thread. The sport is becoming increasingly scientific in every area, and that cannot be undone.
