Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I stand corrected. Honda do think the younger Marquez is good enough for them.

I should have put money on this back when Lorenzo was found talking to Ducati... I called it back then and I'm happy I was correct.

Also.. he crashed after 8 laps and was 4 seconds off the pace last time I looked. He started on Cal's bike and don't know which direction he took from there.

It's common for moto2 riders to lose the front on the Moto bikes. That's what Alex did today.

you cant find the limits until you come off

Why is that?

different weight and transfer of weight. Most Moto2 riders tend to ride on the front wheel and let the back do its thing. Moto riders are the other way round due to the amount of power they've got. That's why you're more likelyt o see a Moto bike being backed in for corners. It's also why the best MotoGP riders ride off road

Didnt Bridgestone have a better performing front tyre, that Motogp riders leant on more and it's now the other way round with the Michelin having a much stronger performing rear tyre and riders are having to adapt?

Rossi doesn't seem to be able to get to grips with Michie rears
