cars are dangerous

 

In what way are they making anything safer? Their only purpose is to increase acceleration.

 

You could more quickly and safely accelerate to highway speed on an on ramp! Yea, not really necessary…

 

I could definitely see that if a bike can squat at higher speeds and reduce unnecessary suspension travel, it would be more stable. But, I'm not an engineer, so IDK.

 

Joe Roberts

 

Cam in 15th and coasting last lap. Supposed to rain tomorrow right? Slid to 16th. I don’t understand.

Joe on the other hand, looking good!

 

It appears the weather is going to gift someone who is good in the rain a win.

70% chance of rain for Sunday

 

Binder or Miller

 

Mixed conditions...let's go Binder for another epic flag to flag win!!!!

 

Zarco is usually very good in mixed conditions.

He was in M2 anyway.

 

Zarco for the 5-4-3-2-1

 

I don’t see how it useful TBH. SBK doesn’t have a stability issue that I’m aware. If we’re talking for the regular guy/girl riding on the actual street; rarely are they getting to speeds that current bikes aren’t extremely stable.
Active suspension,which I believe is starting to show up on production bikes, could be a product that has more trickle down tech than anything in the last 20 years.

A bit overworked, no?....

 

I didn’t think so. Thought it was a cool pic highlighting the wet weather tires.

 

I see a lot of dirty air encroaching on the tail. Looks like an opportunity to clean that up with some scoops & wings.

 

R. Fernandez has been mentioned. And IIRC, didnt Razlan say that they aren't looking at Moto2 riders anymore?

I haven't watched a lap since the initial announcement. Don't even care anymore.

 

So you care about racing when a certain manufacturer is in it ??? Go back to ‘72 when 90% of the grid was BNG.
