MM had a huge crash in Practice today.... went back, changed his leathers - jumped on a new bike and set the fastest time of the session so far, went back in and changed out of race gear to go visit the medical tent. HIs time did not hold up for Q2 - but it was still better than nearly half...

TYPO

probably just a feature of the site software to make it more like social media.

Regulate how? They have to be in a certain range of pressure for a certain percentage of the race. before this was being enforced (it has been a rule for a number of years but was not enforced) Teams set the pressure below the threshold to compensate for the extreme heat that can build when...

well they are going to remove the ride height devices for 2027 if I recall correctly and that is a big part of the launch control mechanism.

Yeah that was bizzare - he knew there was a problem and waved Diggia past him so he could heat up the front and bring the tire back within pressure spec. I have mixed feelings about the tire pressure thing. 1 - it is another part of racing rules you have to comply with - and the intention is...

I think KTM and Aprilla are right there with Ducati - just lacking the Talent to make best use of those bikes. But yes Ducati has a big advantage over Honda and Yamaha for sure and a slight advantage over Aprilla and KTM.

The rest of this season will be the defining moment in his Career - if he is really one of the greats he will double down under the pressure and get a few more wins and take the points. Or he will crumble. Last weekend he lost the pace at the end of the race and let the Beast by - he could...

Ducati has done so much poopooing on Jorge Martin it makes me sad. I really hope Jorge takes the Championship this year and next.

a LOT happened yesterday. Would be crazy to see Jorge take the Championship on the Pramac Bike and then run the Number 1 on the Aprilla next year.

"Although Ducati publicly supported Bastianini, there were whispers that one of the lessons from today is that, even if you are sure you are right, it's better in terms of the race result to serve the first penalty..." I do know many teams have issues with some of the race direction rulings on...

Do you have a link? I did not catch any post race info about it.

Bastanini ignoring the long lap was rally weird. He is certainly making the case that he does not deserve the factory seat anymore.

yeah it is brutal.

yeah, not gonna worry about it. It has zero impact for me.

My speedo works fine but my Tach bounces between actual RPM readings and zero.

Awesome! welcome to the Club, My 2003 has 133k miles on it - I bought it with 37k. Mine needs a Carb Clean for sure - but it runs fine once the carbs get warmed up.

Agreed. I hate that there are 8 Ducati's on the Grid. I think Ducati is an amazing brand and they obviously make the best bike right now - but man the lack of variety is ugly. was great having 3 guys neck in neck for the last 7 laps fighting for the lead. Incredible game of cat n mouse.
