da da si eu astept!!!! mai ales ca in Septembrie vreau sa ajung pe la Capadochia si nu ar strica si un offroad prin zona

despre "viitorul" in MotoGP. am extras cateva pasaje care mi se par mie interesante. e destul de lung "interviul", dar pare fara ceva concluzii clare a ce ne rezerva viitorul. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/change-motogps-tech-rules-you-may-end-up-with-the-opposite-of-what-youre-trying-to-achieve/ It’s the weekend of the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring and I’ve requested an interview with Corrado Cecchinelli, Dorna’s director of technology, who used to be technical director of the factory Ducati team. I want to talk to Cecchinelli about MotoGP’s technical direction and a few other things. On Friday morning I show up at Dorna’s portable paddock office block and meet Cecchinelli, who tells me that my questions (emailed in advance) are too wide-ranging for his sole attention, so leads me to the office of Dorna’s chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta, son of Carmelo, the man who led Dorna’s buyout of MotoGP in 1992. Ezpeleta junior is now responsible for the sporting and technical areas of MotoGP. He is qualified for this role, because he has a degree in mechanical engineering. What follows is a somewhat strange interview, in fact it’s less of an interview and more of a philosophical discussion about racing, but this is my fault. ... The idea behind giving this power to the manufacturers was to give them a stake in the series, otherwise why would they want to invest hundreds of millions in GP racing? In fact Dorna has tried to do something about some of these new technologies. Last year it put two options to the MSMA: ban all ride-height devices from 2025 or ban front devices from this year. “They all voted for option B,” says Ezpeleta. “What we want to do with the rules and what we can do are two different things, like everything in life. “Fortunately and unfortunately MotoGP isn’t a dictatorship, so we have to see what the industry wants. As much as we’d like to implement changes in the regulations, by closing some doors or whatever, that’s still changing the rules.” .... “I did this exercise,” replies Ezpeleta. “I worked out how many times FP1 was faster than FP2, before this year [when it didn’t count towards qualifying], and it was less than 2% at all events. So clearly you could test in FP1 98% of the time and not be damaged. “Even before the sprint format some riders wanted all practice sessions to be free practice. I said, ‘Perfect, no one will watch!’. Have you watched Fridays in F1? They’re abysmal!” Which brings us to what was a scoop at the time of the interview but isn’t anymore. “Of course! I’m worried sick about losing Honda and Yamaha” “If your question is, ‘Do we want to revise the concession points system?’, that’s a different question,” adds Ezpeleta, who went public with this information two weeks later. “I personally think concession points is one of the items we will need to speak about.” I assume Ezpeleta is worried about MotoGP losing Honda and Yamaha. “Of course! I’m worried sick,” he says. “And not only about that – I’m worried about their top riders saying, ‘I’m out of here’. So there’s a concern about those factories and there’s a concern about some factory teams not having top riders. “But the regulations are what they are and we can’t change them until 2027, unless all the manufacturers agree.” .... “It’s not a big secret that we’re working on new regulations for 2027, which will have a number of performance-decreasing factors,” Ezpeleta continues. “I think there will be a significant performance drop in 2027, then the factories will start regaining that performance and in ten years’ time you’ll come back to me and we’ll be having the same conversation! “But how much of a downgrade do we want? We’re not five seconds faster than World Superbikes and, compared to five years ago, we’re only 1.5 seconds faster than we were then. “Clearly, I feel there’s room for improvement. I think power is one conversation, aero is another, ride-height devices is clearly another and tyres too.” ... “For me, good racing comes when there’s tyre management,” affirms Ezpeleta. In other words, when the tyres are worse! “About aero, maybe from the outside it seems very easy – just get rid of wings,” Ezpeleta goes on. “But at this point it’s quite straightforward – there’s no getting rid of the wings when you can already buy street bikes with wings, which are racing in World Superbike.” Fair enough, I say, but ban ground effect, because most people I know in car racing have been shouting this at me for the last few years, “Don’t let MotoGP go down the ground-effect road because it’s a disaster!”. “We are only in the current situation because all the factories have tried to go faster,” says Cecchinelli. “There was never any goal to make the show worse!”

cateva declaratii interesante a lui Pierer: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1031634/1/ktm-answer-key-questions-marquez-acosta-fernandez-espargaro-2024-lineup KTM answer key questions on Marc Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Augusto Fernandez, Pol Espargaro, and their 2024 line-up RobertJones 21 Jul 2023 KTM have delivered a bold and fascinating insight into their 2024 plans which Marc Marquez has been constantly linked to. The manufacturer were reportedly trying to bring the LCR satellite team into their group, creating two spaces for Marquez and Pedro Acosta. But now Stefan Pierer, CEO of the Pierer Group which owns KTM, has explained their plan. About recruiting Marquez, Pierer told Speedweek: "I'm not saying it's out of the question. But that doesn't suit us. "How many times do you think he’s been offered to us in the last few months? "This is a stuck situation- he is not entirely innocent. His riding style now doesn't really suit these aerodynamically defaced bikes. That's why he falls so often. "We want to be world champions one day. But signing a Marquez is not our way. We build the riders ourselves, from Moto3 to Moto2. "I also believe in Brad Binder and Jack Miller, who fought for the Moto3 World Championship title with us in 2014 and has now returned." Binder and Miller are contracted for next season already, and so is Tech3 GASGAS rider Pol Espargaro. However, Espargaro has missed the whole season so far due to injuries sustained on the first Friday leading to speculation about his future. Augusto Fernandez was contracted until the end of this season so, despite his impressive performances, he is clearly at-risk of Acosta who will step up from Moto2 to MotoGP within the KTM group. Pierer has insisted that he will somehow find space for Espargaro, Fernandez and Acosta on KTM machinery in the premier class next season. He revealed that Fernandez has been given a new deal: "That's why we've already extended his contract. He already has a contract. "And Pedro Acosta has one too. And we guarantee that he will be on a MotoGP KTM in 2024. "It will all work out. First of all, we have to give Pol another chance to show how well he's recovered. He wasn't there for half a year. "The fact that he will be a test rider is currently not an issue. It depends on Pol how he is doing. "If he performs as expected, he will drive a full season next year. We have a contract with him. "The fact is that Pedro Acosta will be riding a MotoGP-KTM in 2024. Wherever that will be. "And if I need an extra place, everything will be arranged." Pierer admitted that he is still trying to acquire one of the existing satellite teams. "Basically, the Gresini team was not an option for me," he said. "The current economic situation will not make things any easier for the private MotoGP teams. "I hear the second Aprilia team is already having financial difficulties; it must be supported by Aprilia. "One or the other, a place will surely fall down. I bet you!" Pierer said KTM will try to buy any satellite team that is available: “Certainly, if something comes up, we will adopt it. "I'm assuming that one or the other MotoGP spots will become available and that we will compete with all five riders.” He added: "I'm very concerned that Honda will also drop out after Suzuki." Si alte zvonuri de pe piata transferurilor: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1031598/1/joan-mir-negotiations-join-ducati-next-season A seat is expected to become free if they dispense with Fabio di Giannantonio, but Mir is not the only candidate to fill it. Tony Arbolino is linked with a step-up from Moto2, and Johann Zarco is also rumoured as part of a reshuffle involving Marco Bezzecchi perhaps moving to Pramac. “It is not certain that Mir will win it,” the report states, however his interest gives Ducati another fascinating option for their 2024 rider line-up.

nah ca s-au schimbat regulile in timpul jocului; Changes to how MotoGP™ riders enter Q2 approved The Grand Prix Commission agrees to change the sessions timed for entry into Q2 The Grand Prix Commission, composed of Messrs. Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna, Chairman), Paul Duparc (FIM), Hervé Poncharal (IRTA) and Biense Bierma (MSMA), assisted by Messrs. Jorge Viegas (FIM President), Carlos Ezpeleta (Dorna), Mike Trimby (IRTA, Secretary of the meeting) and Corrado Cecchinelli (Director of Technology), in electronic meetings held in July 2023, made the following decisions, effective immediately: MotoGP™ Class Practice Sessions timed for entry into Q2 Following unanimous agreement between the MotoGP™ Class Teams, the GPC has approved a proposal to change the sessions timed for entry into Qualifying 2. The first premier class practice session of a Grand Prix weekend will no longer be timed for qualifying/entry into Qualifying 2. It will remain 45 minutes in length and will now be named Free Practice 1. The second, 60-minute practice session on Friday will now be named Practice. It will be the sole practice session timed for entry into Q2. The 30-minute session on Saturday morning will now be named Free Practice 2. MotoGP™ Class sessions therefore now comprise: • Friday − Free Practice 1 (FP1): 45 mins − Practice (PR): 60 mins, timed for entry into Q2 • Saturday − Free Practice 2 (FP2): 30 mins − Qualifying 1 (Q1): 15 mins − Qualifying 2 (Q2): 15 mins − MotoGP™ Tissot Sprint (SPR) • Sunday − Warm Up (WUP): 10 mins − Race (RACE) A regularly updated version of the FIM Grand Prix Regulations which contains the detailed text of the regulation changes may be viewed shortly on: https://www.fim-moto.com/en/sports/view/fim-world-championship-grand-prix-4327

Sunt curios daca se schimba ceva cu aceste modificari: Following the latest analysis of the relative performance of the machines over the last three rounds, the maximum rev limit for Ducati will be decreased by 250 rpm - as per article 2.4.2.2-3* of the regulations. Ahead of Round 7 in Italy, Kawasaki has elected to use five concession points to benefit from a 250-rpm rev limit increase as per article 2.4.3.3 of the regulations.

Daca nu ti-e prea departe mergi pana la Zlatibor. E foarte ok statiunea sa faci pauza.

si eu am fost anul asta pe coasta din Muntenegru pana sus la KRK. e foarte ok drumul, foarte aderent si manca din cauciuc ca nici care altul in Europa zic eu. serpisorii aia de smoala sunt "nasoi" cand sunt proaspat pusi. anul trecut alunecam pe ei in draci. anul asta nu am avut stresul lor de nici un fel.

ce diferente intre F1 si MotoGP https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1030714/1/revealed-how-much-money-dorna-gives-motogp-s-satellite-teams In total, Dorna distributes €70m to teams across MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. This money predominantly comes from selling TV rights. By comparison, the 10 F1 teams receive a combined total of €950m from Liberty Media. More than 10 times what MotoGP teams are making. .. The cost of a satellite team leasing its bikes from a manufacturer is €2.2m, the report states. The manufacturers ((Ducati, Aprilia, KTM and Honda) are incentivized with a payment of €1m from Dorna per bike given to a satellite team. Yamaha are given just €500,000 by Dorna because they are not running a satellite team this year. Ducati, who have three satellite teams, are only incentivized to run one. So, Dorna give them only €2.2m - the same as Aprilia, KTM and Honda. Moto2 and Moto3 teams now receive €180,000 to €230,000 in subsidies from Dorna, the report says. Dorna subsidises the engines in Moto2, charging €20,000 per rider to each team.

Pirelli to become exclusive tyre supplier to Moto2™ & Moto3™ A new agreement is being finalised that will see the Italian brand become an official supplier across the Road to MotoGP™ from 2024 to 2026 Pirelli will become the official, exclusive tyre supplier to the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes from 2024 to 2026 inclusive. This new three-year agreement, currently being finalised, will see the Italian tyre marque become an integral part of the lightweight and intermediate classes of Grand Prix racing.

acum zic ca numarul ideal de moto pe grila la MotoGP e 20. pana acum era 24: 6 constructori x 4 piloti. acum se pare ca au realizat ca nu mai e nici un constructor interesat sa intre in MGP si numarul ideal e 20... pica 5 piloti si iau toti puncte https://www.gpone.com/en/2023/06/29/motogp/carlos-ezpeleta-dorna-is-working-to-help-honda-and-yamaha.html

da da, am zis si eu mai sus ca cel din spatele lui era prea departe, dar e funny si nah am pus si articolul de pe GPone cu parerea lor despre penalizarile astea ciudate.

Sa inceapa discutiile :))

topic nou pentru Assen? mai e o etapa inainte de pauza de vara. Pana atunci Bestia despre recuperare si de ce inca nu are rezultatele de anul trecut: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1029563/1/bastianini-struggling-overtake-last-year-lacking-frontend-feeling Eighth at Sachsenring, Bastianini said this when speaking to GPOne.com: "Physically I feel better. I resisted well but I still have to take the step to get to where I was before the incident. "However, I feel much better physically and I finished quite well at the end of the race, without being exhausted. "I was hoping it would go a little better at the start, but I got bottled in a little bit and I wasn’t able to get back up the field. "But in the end it went pretty well. The second half of the race went like I expected." Although Bastianini was unable to show the same type of pace as the leading Ducatis, the Italian came out on top when fighting the likes of Marc Marquez in the Sprint, and Fabio Quartararo during the main race. "I still don’t have what allows you to do something extra in the race," said Bastianini. "In the race I saw that I was struggling to overtake. "Last year, when I was determined to overtake, it was quite easy. But here, every time I tried to overtake they immediately crossed me and I could not close off the corner. "I’m still lacking the feeling on the front that I had last year." si o declaratie a lui Gigi despre cum au dezvoltat ei motocicleta de succes versus Japo: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1029591/1/dall-igna-honda-yamaha-made-strategic-mistake-marquez-quartararo “Their strategic mistake was to follow just one rider, to base the development of their bikes on the results and feedback of the leading rider of each brand,” GPone.com quotes Dall’Igna as telling La Stampa. “Often what the top rider, the champion tells you, isn’t the truth because his talent covers the problems the bike suffers from. “Paradoxically, to develop a project well, you have to listen to all the voices, all the riders.” Dall’Igna insisted any team orders would only come into play if "one of our riders is fighting for the championship against an opponent from another brand". But if the current situation continues at the end of the season Dall’Igna assured that "each of the Ducati riders will have the freedom to play their cards."

Acosta despre viitorul lui: https://as.com/motor/ktm-se-juega-el-culo-por-mi-y-yo-me-lo-tengo-que-jugar-por-ellos-n/ -Any news for the future? -No. -June 30 is getting closer… -I trust them, I trust KTM. They have a lot of people around looking at the Pedro Acosta project, with a lot of people supporting and seeing what is best for our joint career. Before June 30, we will surely know something. Have you decided to go up? -If there is no motorcycle for Pedro Acosta, there is no motorcycle and you cannot do magic. I trust KTM. They will know the best for me and what to do. I put everything in your hands. -Said with respect and affection, Pit Beirer drools seeing him at the foot of the podium at the top... -I have always felt very loved by him and by all of KTM, both the MotoGP team and the bosses above or anyone. Since I arrived at the World Cup, and at that time I didn't have many resources, they gave me bikes to train without the need to do so and without it being written on any paper. They have supported me and, whenever I have needed something, if I have not had it today, I have had it tomorrow. I think they are risking their ass for me and I think I have to risk it for them. - Vreo veste pentru viitor? -Nu. -30 iunie se apropie... -Am încredere în ei, am încredere în KTM. Au o mulțime de oameni în jur care se uită la proiectul Pedro Acosta, cu mulți oameni care susțin și văd ce este mai bine pentru cariera noastră comună. Înainte de 30 iunie, cu siguranță vom ști ceva. Te-ai hotărât să urci? -Dacă nu există motocicletă pentru Pedro Acosta, nu există nicio motocicletă și nu poți face magie. Am încredere în KTM. Vor ști ce e mai bun pentru mine și ce să facă. Am pus totul în mâinile tale. -Spus cu respect și afecțiune, Pit Beirer saliva văzându-l la poalele podiumului din vârf... -M-am simțit întotdeauna foarte iubit de el și de toată KTM, atât de echipa MotoGP, cât și de șefii de mai sus sau de oricine. De când am ajuns la Cupa Mondială, iar pe vremea aceea nu aveam prea multe resurse, mi-au dat biciclete să mă antrenez fără a fi nevoie să o fac și fără să fie scris pe vreo hârtie. M-au susținut și, ori de câte ori am avut nevoie de ceva, dacă nu l-am avut astăzi, l-am avut mâine. Cred că își riscă fundul pentru mine și cred că trebuie să risc pentru ei.

s-au mai schimbat vremurile de cand a zis ca nu-l vrea. Orice e posibil. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1028722/1/ktm-drop-shock-marc-marquez-hint-everyone-open-talking “It was also said out of context that we are not interested because, first of all, Marc Marquez has a valid contract and we have four riders with a valid contract for this year and for next year. “Which is not even a realistic scenario we can even discuss. “We know that Marc Marquez is an outstanding character in this championship.”

zice bine Miller. sunt foarte multi bani pentru un weekend. pe langa bilet mai iei o sapca, un tricou si cateva beri si ai mai dat 100-150E. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1028748/1/jack-miller-they-need-stop-charging-fans-so-much After last year’s dismal attendance, which caused some to question the financial viability of the event, the Mugello MotoGP crowd almost doubled for the 2023 event. A strong 77,921 fans lined the hillsides and grandstands on Sunday with a weekend spectator total of 135,670, compared to respective figures of just 43,661 (Sunday) and 74,078 (weekend) last year. Although still short of the glory days with Valentino Rossi, when the race day crowd peaked at 100,000 and 152,443 for the weekend in 2016, it was an impressive turnaround. But Jack Miller believes the circuit would be able to rival the 116.692 race day crowd seen at the previous Le Mans round if ticket prices were lower. “It was better, but for sure they need to stop charging these punters so much to come in and watch,” Miller said. “We want to attract new people so you’ve got to make it reasonable and also you don’t want to piss off the diehard fans. Because without them, we’ve got nobody. “It was better today for sure. But I think if they made the ticket [prices] like they were in Le Mans we would have had a bigger crowd here than we had in Le Mans.” Tickets for Mugello were reported to be almost double the price of the Le Mans round, which boasted a record of 278,805 for the weekend. Other factors such as free parking were also hailed as helping encourage the huge French crowd.

orice actiune are si reactie Dorna!?!? destul de interesant articolul. MotoGP surprise: sprint races are slower than GP races https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/motogp-surprise-sprint-races-are-slower-than-gp-races/ The new format allows no room for development and testing is severely restricted, so how do the engineers dig themselves out of their holes? Obviously, right now, this is Honda and Yamaha. How do they fix their problems if they’re not allowed to do development work with their full-time MotoGP riders? If Dorna would prefer not to lose another manufacturer or two from the grid the company should probably have a rethink about its testing restrictions, about the format, about the technical regulations, anything, really. Every action has a reaction. The action in this case is sprint races but we don’t yet know what the ultimate reaction to the new format will be.
