https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/theres-less-and-less-overtaking-in-motogp-and-thats-a-problem Here’s an interesting fact about yesterday’s Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez: if it hadn’t been for Marc Márquez there would’ve been only one overtaking manoeuvre among the top seven after the first of the 25 laps. .... MotoGP owners Dorna have spent the last dozen years rewriting the technical rules to narrow the gap between the fastest and slowest bikes, by making all the bikes basically the same, with 81mm-bore four-cylinder engines, same-for-everyone electronics and same-for-everyone tyres. The gap is now much, much narrower than it’s ever been, which is why the racing is closer than it’s ever been. ... The downforce aero also makes overtaking difficult because the motorcycles now create such a large vacuum in their wake that it’s impossible for a rider to brake behind another rider, because there’s no air resistance helping him to stop and he’s got no downforce on the front tyre. Plus there’s dirty air too, washing around either side of the vacuum. All in all, this makes it difficult for riders to get close enough to set up a pass on the brakes. .... So what should Dorna do? I’m no expert but perhaps they should get MotoGP’s director of technology Corrado Cecchinelli working on CFD (computer-flow dynamics) programmes and in wind tunnels, trying to write new aero rules that allow enough downforce to keep the front wheel in contact with the ground at high speed, but not so much that getting close enough to a motorcycle to try an overtake becomes extremely different. Also, Michelin needs to improve its front tyre. The French company is working on a new front that’s less sensitive to heat and pressure changes but this might not be ready until 2024 or 2025.

https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/motogp-testing-has-aprilia-now-got-a-front-shapeshifter MotoGP title-challenger Aprilia has a new shapeshifter unit, which potentially drops the front of the factory’s RS-GP bike as well as the rear as the motorcycle exits corners. Front shapeshifters are banned from the end of this season, but this hasn’t stopped Ducati, previously the only MotoGP factory with a front system, from continuing development. Aprilia’s latest shapeshifter unit has the hydraulic actuator in the fairing nose, like Ducati’s latest. It’s also linked to a hydraulic unit parallel to the RS-GP’s left fork leg, which suggests it compresses the front suspension under acceleration, to further reduce wheelies and therefore improve acceleration. MotoGP bikes are never stripped down in the open. Instead teams close their garage doors or erect screens around their motorcycles. But occasionally photographers get lucky. There are no great revelations in these photos of KTM’s RC16, stripped of its bodywork at Jerez last weekend, but they certainly highlight the complexities of packaging an engine and all the electronics ancillaries in the available space.

eu chiar is curios daca sunt alti producatori care vor sa vina in MotoGP si astia le zic ca nu mai au loc pe grila sau aia sunt subbranduri de la KTM/Ducati ...

cam greu sa primeasca concesii. daca am inteles eu bine de la comentatorii englezi trebuie 2 ani sa nu faci cele 6 puncte: threshold of 6 Concession points. Concession Points (3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd) are the method by which manufacturers gain or lose access to a range of technical perks, designed to help those struggling to reach the podium. ----- CONCESSION POINTS – MotoGP™ CLASS MANUFACTURERS One consequence of the reduced number of events in 2020 meant it was possible for a non-concession manufacturer to gain concessions for 2021 based on results in just a few races. To address this issue the Commission agreed on the following change to the regulations: - During the 2020 season concessions can only be lost, but not gained. - Current regulations apply to the timing of the loss of concessions. - All concession points gained during 2020 by concession manufacturers will continue to have a 2-year validity. https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2022/04/06/have-aprilia-lost-concessions-after-their-termas-victory/413376 https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/honda-2022-concessions-podium-less-2021/6537171/

pai problema e ca ei tot nu au mers bine si dupa alea 2 etape in care carcasa gumelor a fost diferita. comentariile despre performanta afectata de gume ar fi dupa ultimile 2 etape in care au fost folosite ultima versiune de gume.

pai ati tot zis ca gumele sunt facute ba pentru Ducatti, ba pentru KTM, ba pentru francezul de la Yamaha. si totusi nu e un constructor sau un pilot care sa domine campionatul. deci se pare ca gumele nu sunt facute preferential pentru cineva anume. sunt niste gume ciudate la care unii se adapteaza mai bine si altii (HRC) mai deloc.

hai ca a inceput cu plangerile :))))) https://www.gpone.com/en/2022/04/24/motogp/vinales-i-feel-lost-during-the-first-laps-of-the-race-on-the-aprilia.html I don't want to change my riding style, because it's what brought me here and allowed me to win a lot. They have to give me a bike with which I feel comfortable, because I don't understand anything during the first laps. I feel lost. Then I can adapt and ride fast. I'm not even at fifty percent of my real potential. We have to make sure that the bike accommodates me and can use my style. When I'm fast, the race is already over.

speculatii sunt peste tot. FQ s-ar plia bine la Suzi, dar nu au aia bani de el. Poate cu ajutorul Monster ... https://www.gpone.com/en/2022/04/13/motogp/quartararo-thinking-about-his-future-worried-by-the-yamaha-suzuki-an-option.html

eu as prefera sa castige unul din astia 4: FQ20, PB63, EB23, JM89 (bonus FM21). toti au viteza si carisma. mai trebuie constanta in primele locuri

eu zic sa ne uitam si la vremurile in care se merge acum. MM s-a rupt pentru ca ceilalti au inceput sa puna presiune pe el. primul a fost Q. MM a incercat prin orice metoda sa il demoralizele la inceput. statea in spatele lui in calificari si punea presiune peste tot unde putea pe el. acum ai 10-15 piloti intr-o secunda in calificari. de aia e si asa greu ca unul dintre piloti sa se detaseze. exista multi piloti care stiu sa aplice avantajele motorului si a skilului pe anumite circuite. eu zic ca cei care resusesc sa ramana constanti in primele 6 locuri o sa fie cei mai avantajati. nu o sa mai vedem doar 2 piloti care castiga majoritatea curselor.

nu sunt chiar clickbait discutiile despre retragere. zice si el ca s-a gandit la asta. e prea multa lume in spatele lui ca sa renunte, dar sunt sigur ca a luat in considerare aceasta optiune dupa atatea accidentari grave in ultima vreme si mai ales la cate riscuri se supune in ultima vreme: https://www.gpone.com/en/2022/04/07/motogp/marc-marquez-admits-being-scared-after-crash-and-has-to-build-confidence-again In the end it's normal, it was my fourth injury in two years - he sighed - Two weeks ago I wasn't even motivated to come here, I just wanted to relax. The people who are close to me, starting with my brother, helped me, pushed me to train and step by step the motivation to return came. When you have an injury you don't want it to happen again, but then it passes. Passion is our fuel.

The Frenchman has been vocal since the opening of the season on his concerns regarding Yamaha's lack of progress. He has been on the podium only once and under the top five in Qatar and Argentina citing you can't win titles with such performances. When asked about Honda's interest in him, he has this to say: "Honda's interest in me? I have to think about it. I have to think about it carefully, my future is still not clear.

Márquez: Unnecessarily fast or unnecessarily dangerous? Marc Márquez attacked in Mandalika until the fourth fall SPEEDWEEK.com columnist Michael Scott reflects on the big topic of the week: MotoGP superstar Marc Márquez (Honda) suffered a relapse after his horror highside at "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Although this wisdom comes from boxing, it can be applied in many ways. MotoGP ace Marc Márquez made another twist: "The faster you are, the more often you fall." When you crash as often as the Repsol Honda star does, it's easy to take crashing lightly. He even joked at the first Grand Prix in Qatar that he's obviously not in the best shape yet, "because I only fell once." His fifth crash of the new season, on Sunday morning at the Indonesian GP, was anything but fun. A very fast and very brutal highsider took Marc visibly with him and finally made sure that the doctors gave him a starting ban. But worse was to come. Because it didn't stop with the concussion diagnosed on Sunday. On the return flight to Spain, problems with vision arose – the diplopia that had already given him a difficult winter was back . The same problem almost ended his career back in Moto2 in 2011. The danger is not over yet ... But why does such a brilliant driver crash so often? Five times over the first two race weekends! Pushing the limit has always been his way of finding where exactly that limit lies - and the Spaniard does it better than anyone in history. Even after missing all of 2020 and part of 2021 due to a serious upper arm injury from Jerez, he continued undeterred. After all, it was his first major fracture in more than ten World Cup years and after countless falls. The Honda start did not change his strategy. Last year Marc missed four of the 18 Grands Prix and was still second in the Kings of Fall rankings with 22 falls . With his five falls, the 59-time MotoGP winner leads the previous crash statistics for 2022. And the warm-up take-off from Mandalika was one of the real high-speed, heart-in-your-pants sorts, evoking memories of the old-fashioned highsiders of the 500cc two-stroke golden era. Another stubborn crash, another chapter of ignored warnings makes us wonder: How long can this go on? When will his inner voice change tone? Many years ago I was almost torn apart for allowing myself to suggest that Mick Doohan's career-ending crash in training at Jerez was a result of pushing too hard in iffy conditions at a time when there was nothing to be done win gave. Because the weather should have improved the following day, so the lap times were irrelevant for qualifying. I wrote, perhaps without thinking too much, that he was "unnecessarily fast". He felt attacked – and this sentence has haunted me ever since. The same statement applies to last Sunday. In the morning nobody knew that the race in the afternoon would be in the wet anyway , which made the dry warm-up irrelevant. Nonetheless, fighting for the honor of the fittest on Sunday morning was in every sense nonsensical. Marc was already in 2nd place in the classification. He fell trying to improve. And that on a weekend when it was clear that with the hard tire carcass from Michelin all Honda drivers were so disadvantaged that such heroic deeds could at best mitigate this fact a little. If any. But for Márquez (and Doohan before that) the concept of "unnecessarily fast" just doesn't exist. Just think of a well-known quote from the Australian when he was pointed out to his dominance: "What do you want from me? Shall I slow down?" The same goes for Marc Marquez. Despite his injury woes over the past two years, he is unwilling to accept a limit when it comes to his unstoppable drive to be the fastest. Even in a warm up. That's why we admire the stars. At the same time, nobody wants to feel sorry for her. Contrasting with Márquez is Valentino Rossi, also overly gifted, but who has continued to prolong his career with the opposite approach – by minimizing risk. A few years ago, Marc survived an extraordinary moment of shock in Brno unscathed. The front slid away, the bike was already on the ground, but the rider put it back on two wheels with his knee and elbow. His technique of falling without falling became his signature thanks to the stunning saves. That day I asked Rossi if he could do the same. He first spoke analytically about Marc's different posture and driving technique, only to add with a laugh: "But I think it's better not to lose control of the front in the first place." Hopefully Marc will come back again. Hopefully the double vision will go away. Will he scale back his all-or-nothing approach to extend his career? Almost certainly not. We can only keep our fingers crossed that luck is still on his side.

It was certainly not the result I wanted, but in the warm-up, in the dry, only Quartararo had my pace. I'm curious if that setup will work here too, he explained.

acum iar se pot plange astia de la 'onda ca nu le merge bitigla MotoGP Argentina: Michelin: Termas tyre allocation 'similar to 2019' After the challenges of the new Mandalika circuit, Michelin takes on Termas de Rio Hondo this weekend, where there have been no MotoGP laps for the last three years. That timeframe includes the introduction of the latest generation of (standard) Michelin rear tyre construction, from the start of the Covid-delayed 2020 season. The need to switch away from that normal casing to a special temperature-resistant construction - last used in 2018 - caused much-publicised problems for the likes of Honda and Suzuki in Mandalika. So what will be chosen for this weekend? Michelin's Piero Taramasso said that the Termas tyre allocation will be 'similar' to MotoGP's last visit in 2019, but with 'some later developments in terms of casing design and compounds'. “The Termas track has always been something of a challenge for us since we returned to MotoGP, with a lot of inclement weather meaning we were never able to get a completely dry weekend to test the performance of our Michelin Power Slick tyres," Taramasso said. "This year we are taking an allocation similar to the one used in 2019, but the tyres have been updated to include some later developments in terms of casing design and compounds to help resist the arduous track conditions.” Can Quartararo take advantage of Marquez' absence, Bagnaia's poor form? Espargaro keen to avoid Indonesia repeat, Bradl replaces Marquez Termas is one of the few remaining circuits where the MotoGP qualifying and race lap records remain from the previous Bridgestone era. That's partly due to caution following a rear tyre 'delamination' suffered by Scott Redding during free practice for Michelin's inaugural visit to the circuit in 2016. With no time to test a stiffer tyre construction before the race, due to bad weather, all riders were forced to make a compulsory bike swap during the grand prix.

intrebarea e de ce ceilalti 5 producatori au reusit sa mearga cu gumele alea (chiar daca mai rau decat in teste) si doar Honda se plange de ele? in alta ordine de idei, s-a schimbat turn 2 in Austria To increase safety at the Red Bull Ring, especially in the premier motorcycle class, the top speed for race bikes will be diminished at the second turn. “Reduced speed was needed in MotoGP in this section of the track. This was achieved through the compact right-left combination which refrains from impacting the rest of the track. The planning was a real challenge due to the topography of the terrain, above all”, says Tilke. With comprehensive examinations, 15 drafts were made before the final layout concept envisaged the chicane as the ideal solution. The track planning is based on specific speed calculations, in which the dimensions of the run-off zones and the other safety facilities were accounted for. Two 90-degree turns as part of a quick double apex chicane ensure a real challenge that will test all the abilities of the MotoGP™ riders. The top motorcycle racing series is sure to become even more dramatic as a consequence of extra overtaking moves. The new layout option at the second turn is designed primarily for motorcycling. The usual track set-up has been retained so that two options are now available without any changes to the overall character of the turns. The Red Bull Ring continues to have ten turns.
