I don't think we've seen anything that indicates that Marquez won't win going away. Sure, everything can change but it's not like Rossi is suddenly finding amazing pace or Lorenzo is some kind of world beater on the Ducati. Maybe Vinales can come out of sort of nowhere and compete, but he kind of sucks in the wet, doesn't he?

Because he's old. Get it? It'll be interesting to see what Vinales can do in the rain. If it's not better than last year he's not winning anything, but if it is he might actually be in contention.

Skreemer posted:KTM now has a factory team in every class. They've been doing well in Moto3, I know GP and Moto2 are new classes for them, but I hope they do well. "Well" in motogp will be finishing ahead of Aprilia and one or more of the satellite teams. I think they have no chance to podium this year, let alone win a race.

Is Vinales going to win it all? He certainly seems like the hot pick but I'd like to see some consistency in the rain. http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/motogp/now-we-are-together-again-top-honestly-it-s-strange

EX250 Type R posted:I wonder what Lorenzo's opinion of that race is. Vinales winning on the movistar yamaha and the duc sister bike coming in 2nd while he was in like 12th From https://motomatters.com/analysis/2017/03/27/2017_qatar_motogp_sunday_round_up_new.html If there were a lot of positives to take from the weekend, there were also a few negatives. Not least the performance of Jorge Lorenzo on his first outing on the Ducati. To cross the line in eleventh, twenty seconds behind the winner and his teammate, is not the start Lorenzo will have had in mind. "Disappointing for sure," he said. "This was not the dream debut." Lorenzo shouldered the blame for his result. He had made a mistake in Turn 4, coming in way too hot and running wide. He left the track in eighth, rejoined in sixteenth, and took his time to get up to speed again. He was capable of being fast for five or six laps, but once the tires dropped, he struggled. His fast laps were good enough to match the pace of the front. Lorenzo's problem was that he could do only six laps at that pace. After that, he dropped into the 1'57s and 1'58s. When asked to compare himself with his teammate Andrea Dovizioso, Lorenzo highlighted his own weak points. "Especially the big difference is with old tires," Lorenzo said. "When the rear tire starts to drop, he is able to ride much better, probably using more the rear brake, or riding differently. With this bike, when I start losing the rear grip, I lose so much performance."

harperdc posted:All four Yamahas in the top six Yeah, but the top two from honda and ducati all crashed out and suzuki's best italian (TM) got a ride through penalty doing god's work cutting off lorenzo so that's five bikes that really should be in the top six that were out. It'll be interesting to see how fast Zarco is over the course of the year because he's pretty ridiculous so far. I do think eventually Lorenzo will figure it out and get fast again too.

I can't imagine him staying on a satellite team but if you're yamaha don't you want to keep him as long as you can because Rossi's getting old? Maybe even set up some sort of arrangement like Crutchlow has? What'd everyone think about Rossi's penalty? I don't really get what else he's supposed to do there. Not a big deal because it didn't end up mattering, I just don't get it. RIP Vinales perfect season. Slavvy, now's the time to buy while the bandwagon stock is low!

Skreemer posted:For those screaming about the design, blame Kevin Schwantz, he's basically the reason the thing was ever even built. If you watched how bumpy it was in the turn 18/19 complex, one of the Honda F1 drivers during a meet and greet in the Honda tent apologized to Marquez and Pedrosa for the cars more or less ruining the surface. Seriously though, PEDs?

So first, I don't think it matters at all. I read afterward that race direction said he got the penalty for going off track and gaining an advantage. It just seems to me that if someone else knocks you off track and you gain a teeny tiny advantage that it's dumb to make any changes. It's a different story if you're in the last lap and it happens on the last corner and you run through the gravel to win, maybe there you should think about a penalty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og9cxXjbs6M Or if you run wide and just go straight through the runoff back onto the track (losing ground but losing way less than you might have otherwise), maybe that deserves a penalty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j8dI5gztvk I don't think it actually matters and I suppose that's the rule, it just seems silly to me given how it looks like they've handled things in the past. But maybe there are some other rules at play I'm missing.

Is this really a problem though? Seems like to the extent it is it's been handled and I suspect Dorna won't want to spend money on fixing something that ain't broke (and gives race direction more discretionary control).

Fanelien posted:Why not fence the track with passive transponders(detection radius approx 10cm) and put a sensor in the bike, when the bike detects it's outside of it's fenced area it gets speed/power limited until it's back within the fenced area. All these solutions require spending money to fix something that doesn't improve the product (entertainment, not racing) while also removing discretionary control from the governing body so...

In addition to the spec ECU, this is also the second year of a new tire supplier. Adaptation to both of those things levels the playing field a lot. Last year there were nine different race winners. This year, we've already had three, but I don't think we'll see nine again.
