Especially about tyres and the difference with the Motogp bikes.

Interesting comments from Marquez about loading the front.

they immediately took the clutch out, and it sat there smoking. I’ve heard the slipper feature puts a lot of extra heat in the clutch. The mechanic took the thing over to the bench and he struck it with a hammer, just lightly, and it went bing. So he must have decided, “Okay, it’s not cracked.”


You forget just how much stress these engines are under.
