    Quicktoy Is it Winter yet?

    Martin gets whatever Bagnaia gets. They have the two most up to date bikes. They said last week I believe Zarco gets a part first to test. If they all like then peco and Jorge get them first and at the same time.

    I recall Martin saying he did not want to test new stuff. He prefers to stick to a known bike, that he is also very happy with.

    Last year, in a podcast interview with Ramon Forcada, he commented that at the time the ducatis where taking points from each other at the final stage of the season, they appointed the rightful leader.

    Ducati improved theirs. Bezzecchi doesn't have it yet.

    I think you're missing the point. One doesn't have to be an atlete to be able to comment on a sport. Ate you saying you must be an auto engineer to own or drive a vehicle too? As a fan and I'll say as a paying fan for those that buy the passes you have every right to voice your opinion. I'll go a step further by saying if you watch any sport decline that you are a fan of you're well within your right to critique.

    You can't ignore the fact there is very little passing going on especially at the front. It's due to the aerodynamics which effects the tires and I'd argue the ride height devices play a role too.

    If you're old enough to remember 10 years ago there was more passing in motogp. There was more fighting for positions. I can't see .5 difference a lap on TV or in the stands but I can see a pass and we not seeing very much of that.

    The riders have commented and have complained about MotoGP going the way of F1. You saw it last weekend, when going for a pass they can't execute as previous as the all the aero changes everything once out of the slipstream, like trying to pass a semi and getting that wake when you get to the front.
