MotoGP | 2023 | Race 13 | Buddh | Indian | Sep 22 - 24

I seriously doubt it. I was very disciplined about my hydration after the Loudon incident. Never got a cramp again. And other than that one particular race, I don't remember ever finishing one that I couldn't have gone back on the track and done again at the same pace. That's why I enjoyed the GT (CCS) and Solo races so much more than the sprints. When guys were getting tired at the end, I was barely hitting my stride.

I don't remember being particularly tired that day at Summit. Dutch and I were chilling in our chairs on the front straight until I had to go get ready. Last thing I remember.

 

What happened?

 

Ahhh I’m sorry to hear that. I could absolutely see this being a very tough part of the job.

If only he would’ve learned the ways of the concrete laborers, he’d have been able to handle the heat better.

 

To hear the race engineer essentially begging him to come in and him denying it, I was quite surprised with the following radio a few laps later, and happy w/ the retirement.

Its really a dangerous situation ... I mean if they pass out or have unexpected 'poor' judgement at 200mph the consequences are severe.
