    meh, not really much different to dual winglets, they have just added the end plate.

    The new fairing.

    lol, read the latest dear george from Dovi.

    Dear Gigi,
    It’s me. Andrea. Your Number One rider.
    I’m sorry to bother you during a race weekend. I know how busy you are finding new octopus, churning butter, installing telemetry, bedding in those exciting new Mambadromic valves (and no, please don’t put them into my bike), and racking the spears He keeps leaving around the pits.
    I don’t usually get involved in what He’s doing. Quite frankly, He terrifies me. This morning, He gave me a pile of topless pictures of himself and told me if I didn’t put them up in my motorhome He would feed me to His uncle’s Ibérico pigs, and I would end up on some tourist’s plate as Jamón Ibérico de Bellota.
    I don’t even know what that is, Gigi. Is He some kind of cannibal? Do I need to hire a Sicilian bodyguard?
    Look, the reason I’m contacting you is I am very concerned about my safety.
    He went out yesterday in FP1 and came third in the wet. Yes, it’s true the rest of us set that up at the rider’s meeting on Friday morning. It was all Vale’s idea.
    “Let Him think He is fast in the rain,” he said. “Then He will be confident in FP2 and try the new fairing in the dry and we will all ride faster, and His head will explode when he comes 15th. Jonas should come second, too. That way the explosion of His head will be even bigger because He still doesn’t know who Jonas is and He will try and stab Bautista again.”
    Alvaro went and bought a gun straight after the meeting.
    Then at the press conference, He said: “I feel, just in five laps, that we have a better potential with this new fairing”. This was after He came 15th.
    Is His helmet too tight? Is that it? I would not put it past those French cretins and their fish helmet. They have been torturing us all year with their tyre lottery. They tell us lies about what compound is what, watch us go out on them, and laugh at us while smoking Gauloises with their hairy women.
    But please don’t say anything to them. My season has been OK so far and I don’t want anyone to notice me.
    Especially Him. Do you know He put a spear through the side of my motorhome on Thursday? “Come out and die like a man, Yellow Puta!” I heard Him yelling.
    I opened the window a little bit and said, “Please, it’s me. Andrea! Vale’s home is further down! Please go away! I’m sorry I’m beating you.”
    I didn’t know what else to say. I really think I should buy a gun. I promise only to fire it in the air if He comes back. I know how much money Mathhias has invested in Him. I have not earned that much in the last 10 years. But that’s OK. I don’t mind. No. Really.
    Sorry. Please don’t hate me.
    All the best,
    Andrea.

    Well it was interesting to see the different strategies/risks taken in the flag to flag race.
    Marquez got the strategy wrong with the soft rear wet then right with the early change to slicks, even though he nearly fell of a few times in the first laps on slicks.

    Lots of overtaking.

    Yes, very enjoyable race.
    Seems Marc has learnt from previous years mistakes.
    Nice game of skittles in the pits.

    Rossi doing some cheeky block passes to get up the field.
    Had to feel a little for Crutchlow
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    bit odd that, not really sure who was at fault, really looked like a pit racing accident.
    Officials judgement can't be appealed now.

    Nothing I wouldn't do or expect in a race when a rider coming thru is faster.
    No mirrors on a race bike!

    Yes, he was in a bit of pain & still had a great result.

    yeah, will be interesting for sure, depending on what equipment & support he gets.

    There was an interview just before the last MotoGP, where Jack was discussing his options & he looked a little depressed.
    The live telecast for Moto3 starts now, so it will be interesting to see what is said by the commentators, or possibly they will wait 50 minutes till MotoGp to mention it??

    I saw that exact interview Tiny, yeah i was wondering myself.
    Couldn't work out if it was the normal sheepish behaviour in front of the cameras or what?
    With HRC dropping him, that obviously speaks volumes.
    A second tier V Twin team, will be interesting.

    Oh well, at least he has a ride, that has been my main concern the passed 12months

    Yeah!! Great race.

    Dovi sums up the last lap best.

    Andrea Dovizioso, P1: “Marc always tries to do something on the last lap! It was difficult for me because I lost a lot in the two left corners, and it was easy for him to overtake me – I didn’t know he wasn’t close and I closed the door, so he had chance to catch me again. He had a chance in the last two corners, but the penultimate corner I braked very, very late and it was difficult for him. I didn’t expect him in the final corner, because there is no space, it’s not a braking zone. But I heard his engine the corner before the last, he opened the gas before me, and I knew he wanted to try. So I left the door open because if I didn’t he would have hit me and could have won. He was good stopping the bike and trying to exit, but I was faster.

    Yep, the ol Bull fight move.... Show them a target, then dart off up the inside when they over run you
    I'd say its a gamble as much as a move, but Dovi was right, the option was Marc pushing him via contact.
    All that calculated at 200k's an hour and sideways into corners.... Not bad.
