Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Marquez has just gone 1.4 seconds faster than anyone else. After doing just 6 laps.

He's something else.

he is incredible, genuinely a class above everyone else at the moment, the young rookies coming up are good but the problem they have is he is years more experienced than the new batch coming up and has that edge. Type of rider we will all talk about for years and years to come when were old and grey

*older and greyer

speak for yourself, no grey hair yet and im only 31 today!

Happy Birthday for yesterday! I think MM is the next (but better) Rossi. We're watching history in the making and he's going to stop Rossi from his 10th World Title IMO.

That said, I think he could have a fight on his hands with Lorenzo in the second half of the season

Lorenzo seems to have settled on the Honda already.

Ducati testing new tech again.

Its an anti-lift bar apparently. Some bikes were also seen with a light shining on the tarmac near the rear tyre.

The light will be an encoder/sensor for active suspension but I didn't think that would be allowed. Unless it's more data acquisition for testing purposes only?!

The bar looks like it will limit stroke of the suspension so yeah it would work as anti-lift but I don't understand it myself.

I like how Ducati aren't afraid of trying plenty of random stuff

Interesting read by Mat Oxley on the tests.

Ducati also testing rear wings.

Good read, love Oxley’s take on GP’s, I wonder if Lorenzo & Marquez will get on so well when the flag drops?

Next year they'll have 4 wheels and rear spoilers
