I was wondering about that. I fast forwarded through the pre race and missed it. Heard the announcers make reference to it and I’m curious what the story was.
Yes. Seems GP Ducs don’t go as well there (or at least their lead rider doesn’t go as well there) which makes sense considering the duc seems to like places it can stretch its legs and do most of its braking in a straight line. World Superbike Ducs apparently like it though.
I have to caveat this a bit. Having two full races and a Superpole each weekend does make for a better race weekend than what MotoGP offers. Looking forward to Portimao.
