Damn He's a world class rider. I forgot the comma after third. I meant that, in addition to the feedback of MM and Dani, they have another world class rider giving them feedback. I just don't think it's fair to say that Stoner is leading the development. He only tests a few times a year for them. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
re his laptimes s1ower than last year? lets find out... qatar 2015 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'55.661 2014 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'55.710 Argentina 2015 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'39.071 2014 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'39.264 Le Mans 2015 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'33.310 2014 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'33.548 Mugello 2015 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'47.654 2014 - 93 Marc MARQUEZ SPA Repsol Honda Team HONDA 1'47.892 So the bike has gotten BETTER. He's about .2 faster everywhere. Huh.....
That comparison is not an apples with apples mate, electronics, exhaust system, motor, tyres, and weather also play a major part
I agree that's why I gave multiple rounds to eliminate variables like weather to find an average. Tyres, exhaust, electronics, etc seem to be going in the right direction as I noted.... can you find any race where he has gone slower than last year given similar track conditions? Many of his times last year were record setting.
Right. He doesn't know what to make of a more level playing field and trying to say the bike has gone backwards. Hence going to a 2014 chassis. major clue his head is shaken.
More like everyone else has caught up, and the 2015 chassis does not give him the feel that the 2014 one did. Now they have obviously modified the 2014 frame to accept the 2015 motor and swingarm, they 'may' be back on track. I seriously do not think his head is stressed about his own abbillity still though!
To perpetuate this idea of his head being loose, I will say that he hasn't been his goofy self on social media, nor has he been posting very much lately.
