    I believe it's electronic related

    Feel the same. Chuck was on MotoA pod a couple weeks back. Dropped more F bombs than a Tarantino flick. Spoke very highly of Matty. Something just not vibing with that team.

    His bike has been spinning and bucking all over the place last couple rounds. Doesn’t look electronic but I’m not a pro so…

    That's electronic related most likely. Road america was for sure.

    All I could think of was Dykes on Bikes. Did you know they can also work on their own bikes, pretty amazing. Just like guys, but with vaginas.

    I wonder if there will be a Dunlop/Pirelli run off for MA contract next year.
    I don't remember if it is yearly or if Dunlop has a multi-year contract.
    A two tire brand competition in the same paddock can't be a bad thing?

    The chaplain attended all morning meetings both staff and corner workers asked if anyone isn’t ok, and needs to talk. The medical staff were also spoken to, asked if they had any questions or needed support.

    Is this an assumption that they aren’t being supported or do you have someone on site that doesn’t feel supported?

    All the motorcycles legal to race last year are legal to race this year with no modification. And thus far no one has gone faster than SDK and Richie last year. So….I’m not sure what true added costs there truly are as those two bikes are still legal.

    I didn’t take his comments to mean anything other than the incident not only effects the racers but also the workers at the track. I didn’t read anything in his comments that questioned the notion that peeps are not receiving the additional emotional support otherwise, other than simply stating that the incident effects the entire paddock including workers etc. I certainly don’t see any assumptions being made. Just my take.

    Unless you’re Michelin in MotoGP and Bridgestone starts kicking your ass. :D

    Aren't all the bikes required to run a new electronics package this year for the Balance of Performance deal?

    I heard the ride by wire 750 kit is in the thousands and assumed everybody else kit is as well...

    In the front group his definitely Max seemed to have extra. He didn’t get a great launch and still motored pass in to turn one. And everyone had trouble drafting him. Just my observation ‍♂️
