What is the problem with Zarco and the KTM bike?

I'm not saying that is the sole basis for my reasoning.

So please inform us on what basis you are referring, as it seems to me you talk about one rider then switch to another because of your vagueness.

It's the new form of minimalist trolling.

Compare his performances aboard the M1 as a rookie compared to his performances now.

Yeah that's EXACTLY the way to determine the competitiveness of a MotoGP bike

What facts? You haven't stated anything. You just keep on with this nonsense. Yamaha is better than KTM. Fact. Their bike is more complete than KTM. Another Fact. Yamaha has the most complete bike on the grid. Wrong. I realize you are a Marquez fan, so am I, but making single baseless sentences to make Rossi look overrated are just as annoying and incorrect as all of the Rossi fans demonizing, well, every other rider over the past 20 odd years. EIther come up with actual facts and be part of the bigger discussion or stop. I assume you're 16 years old, so this is probably cute for you, but we actually watch the races.

Judging by his posts, I think he dribbles when he sees MM.

@ holypuck...gbphsntom..etc etc...I think Fabio and Franco have pretty much proved my point.[emoji847]

The only fact they have produced is that Rossi and Vinales need the boot, however where will they be at race end?

Lets see if you still stand behind this after the checkered flag. My guess is we'll hear nothing from you.

gbphantom · May 4, 2019

I would certainly say one qualifying session surely doesn't prove or disprove your point. Jerez has historically been very kind to the Yamaha package. Zarco was second last year and was nowhere for be found most of the rest of the season. I don't think they will be able to make that position last with Marc and their tire consumption issues.

MagicMarc93 · May 6, 2019

Well the chequered flag is down and I absolutely stand behind my statement. Fabio had bad luck, Mav on the podium, Rossi from 13th to 6th. That Yamaha is working just fine. Only Marc's insane talent puts that Honda on the top step week in week out.

Here's all I think about it mate:

Yamaha is currently the 4th bike in order of competitiveness, behind (obviously) Honda, Ducati and Suzuki.

Zarco's results on the KTM are poor mainly (but not exclusively) because of his style being very smooth and the KTM (in addition of not being a competitive bike as of now) is too "nervous" for him.

Peace

Struggling to agree at all with any of that... But peace out nevertheless.

Well Mav said post race it's a bad track for him and the M1 but collectively they got 3 bikes in the top 5 during qualifying, a podium and had it not been for a breakdown quite possibly 2 bikes on the podium. Pretty good for one of their "bad" tracks.

I predicted the satellite Yams would not be on the podium. Factory Yamahas w more experienced riders have been experiencing tire woes at end of race with tedious regularity these last two years. No way a couple of new kids on last year’s bikes were finishing on the podium.

Hmmm...that gearbox issue is all that prevented FB20 from getting on the podium. He's smashed the lap record again today and topped testing. All this on the lowest spec M1 on the grid, with 500 rpm knocked off it. Can only imagine what he'd be capable of on Rossi' s bike.

You still don't get that one hot lap is not the same as running at race pace for 21 laps. Against more experienced riders - on full factory bikes. If you don't understand that you're immune to basic deductive logic.
