Jerez MotoGP test http://www.crash.net/motogp/results/218408/1/jerez-motogp-test-times-monday-1pm.html

Ducati Motor @DucatiMotor · @andreaiannone29: "I switched on 'wet' mapping instead of launch control, and had to do the whole race like that" The Jerez race turned into something of a nightmare for the factory Ducati team. First, Andrea Iannone failed to get off the line, with no apparent explanation. After the race, it emerged that Iannone had accidentally pressed the wrong button sequence, engaging the rain mode instead of launch control for the start. That meant that Iannone's GP15 was circulating under the impression that it was fitted with rain tires and on a wet track. With rain mode changing everything, from traction control to horsepower to anti-wheelie to engine braking, it was impossible to be competitive. To finish sixth is an incredible achievement, given the circumstances. The first sign that something was wrong was the fact that Iannone's rain light had come on, the red LED rear light fitted to every MotoGP bike for use in the rain. Iannone plummeted down the order, before the adaptive settings of the Ducati started to figure out there was more grip than expected, and modify the setting a little bit. That helped, but did not fix the issue completely. It did allow Iannone to fight his way forward and cross the finish line in sixth. Ducati project leader Paolo Ciabatti hailed his performance as 'exceptional', in explaining what had gone wrong. "On our bike, if you look at our left handlebar, there are all these switches, which are actually the switches that Marelli gives to all the Open teams," Ciabatti explained. "We use them since the beginning of last year, because we think they are useful, and they have a lot of functions. So basically, in the middle, you have a yellow button, which is the mode, and then on top, you have a blue button, which is the launch control. So to change the map, the mechanic will push this yellow button for I think 5 seconds, in order to go into that menu, and then from there. If you press there, and you have a dry map, and you keep pressing it, it goes into wet automatically. Then the launch control, you have to press it for 1 second before it's engaged, and the dashboard will say "launch control" or it will say "wet". For whatever reason, and I think he has already sufficiently apologized for his mistake, because mainly it's spoiled the race, he was able to do a very good race, and considering he rode the race with a wet, or rain map, I think he did an exceptional race, for the whole race with a rain map." Why did Iannone not simply switch back from rain mode to dry mode? The system is protected from doing so, to avoid riders doing it accidentally. Selecting the dry mode in the middle of a downpour is a sure-fire way of getting a one-way ticket into low earth orbit. "To disengage it is complex, and especially when you are already a little bit in a situation where you have to manage a race which is going in a different way than what you expected, and you are 11th, starting from the front row of the grid. So, anyway, he didn't really have time to do the procedure while riding the bike at that speed," Ciabatti said. That this was possible is solely because Ducati had never even thought it might be possible for someone to accidentally engage rain mode. They realize now that there is no reason for this to happen, usually, this mode is selected by a mechanic on the grid or in the pits. Expect Ducati's electronics to be a lot harder to put into rain mode by the time the paddock rolls up at Le Mans.

Od ljubavi je ostala ljuba...

Ima nešto ovde... http://www.motoblog.it/post/702725/motogp-jorge-lorenzo-ducati-2016 i http://news.superscommesse.it/motori/motogp/2015/04/mercato-motogp-lorenzo-in-ducati-55764/

Sylvain Guintoli - Q&A 6 August 2013 "We had [Casey Stoner's] data available and I remember thinking 'F**king hell, this guy is entering every corner like he doesn't want to get out'" - Sylvain Guintoli. Crash.net: Can you put your finger on what makes the Ducati Desmosedici so difficult? Sylvain Guintoli: If I knew, I'd probably still be there. In short, I don't know. I'm not the only one who broke his arse on that bike. It's a very different bike in many ways and at the time it was also different to the one they're using now, we were using the tubular frame. It's a bike I enjoyed riding but it just wasn't fast. To this day there was only one rider who could make the bloody thing work. Some people say the front end is vague but if you look at how Casey was using it, you could say there was no massive problem with the bike because he could do it. He's not a bloody magician, he just understood it. Either he was more clever or more brave, whatever, he was permanently 'on it' on that bike. We had his data available to us and I remember looking at it and thinking ''F**king hell, this guy is entering every corner like he doesn't want to get out'. He was doing things on the bike that you wouldn't normally do. http://www.crash.net/wsbk/interview/194304/1/sylvain-guintoli-qa.html http://www.crash.net/wsbk/interview/194304/2/sylvain-guintoli-qa.html

Imam taj tekst negde na hardu, moram da vidim gde je... Evo npr. šta je rosi izjavio: “Stoner did an amazing job at Ducati. When I looked back at his telemetry I used to wonder how he’d achieve such times!” Rossi said. http://gpxtra.com/2013/12/03/rossi-admits-that-he-misses-stoner/

Braco, ovde je sve čisto... Kejsi je sam priznao da je pogrešio, odnosno da ga VR46 nije navukao na kočenju.

Doctor dangle...

Katastrofa je krenula posle Le Mana 2011 kada su počeli očajnički pokušaji da se nešto uradi, tj. da se mašina po svaku cenu prilagodi rosiju.

Upravo tako.... https://motomatters.com/analysis/2015/04/12/2015_austin_saturday_motogp_round_up_mar.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MotoGPMatters+%28MotoMatters%29

MV25 eskivirao psa na stazi - COTA FP1

Druga trka

Sigurno, potencijal je tu, ali kako objasniti činjenicu da kapireks u borbi za titulu 2006 god. (do onog haosa u Katalunji) ima neosporno lošije rezultate 2007 - tim pre što je i sam donekle učestvovao u razvoju te mašine. 14 kamenkovih podijuma naspram 4 je velika razlika. Da ne pominjemo posle MM33, NH69 i VR46.

Jeste, samo toliko. Dukati 2007 je bio toliko dobar da kapireks i melandri nisu mogli da se sastave a pojavio se klinac prvi put na fabričkoj mašini i odra sve žabare za medalju. Ti pričaš o 2006 i 990cc a ovo je 2007 i 800cc. Kapirosi je 2007 imao 4podijuma, 1prvo 2druga i 1trece mjesto, i onda je stigao melandri Znam. I šta do dokazuje? Ta pobeda pri kraju sezone je znaš i sam bila lutrija sa pneumaticima u Japanu.

Evo dokaza koliko virus nazvan rosi može da uznapreduje i bude poguban, zaraza je globalna.... Očekujemo nokšire, šerpe itd...

Đenerale, treba ti oduzeti činove... Kakve bre najače sezone. Ako se porede njih dvojica onda se porede kada su se takmičili jedan protiv drugoga, a to je od 2006 do 2012. Kakve veze imaju 125 i 250cc sa ovom pričom, zar nije MotoGP vrh vrhova u brzinskom motociklizmu? I generalno me nervira ta priča - eto kamenko je bio loš u nižim klasama, ništa nije uradio itd. a VR46 je uzeo dve titule.

Da li si skinuo ovo (ili znaš nekog ko ima) sa YT? http://forum.bjbikers.com/index.php?/topic/38330-video-klipovi/?p=675592 Ne mogu nigde da nađem i ne mogu da prežalim što ga nisam skinuo. Video je veoma poučan iz više razloga. Ovde se jako lepo demistifikuje uloga Rosija.

To smo već apsolvirali. Po pravilima je trebao da dobije - prođi kroz ili najmanje da ga vrate iza Kejsija, ali Pol Batler je zažmurio. Moguće da nije hteo da "kvari" dvoboj. Inače, ne mogu da verujem kakve se ovde gluposti odvaljuju od pojedinih likova o Stoneru. Ajde pogledajte tabelu i zamislite se malo...

Losing the tire will be the last concession Ducati could lose. Engine allowance, engine development and freedom to test remain unchanged until the end of 2015. https://motomatters.com/news/2015/03/31/ducati_qatar_podiums_mean_fuel_allowance.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MotoGPMatters+%28MotoMatters%29
