Motogp, So Long To “race Shift”?

I found this article, https://www.intentsgp.com/motogp-gearboxes-explained/. A bit simplified but hopefully will answer your question. Andy

 

I think it’s a 6 down box. Neutral is right at the top. I could get used to it quite easily..

 

And while we’re on, is that bike Diggia, or whatever his name is, that won yesterday, the same as MM gets next year?

 

Yes and no. Same bike but likely to be a very different set up. Di Gia has finally found a set up that works for him ….. which only took 2 years. Andy

 

Won’t take MM 2 years looking forward to seeing the bogey man back ruffling a few feathers

 

Really, really, really expensive. IIRC, the seamless box was expected to be on the V4SL and then the V4R but a bit of technology too far. Andy

 

get yourself a FS1E

 

And what's with all the Ducati riders pumping the clutch 5/6 times on the line now ?

 

I thought GP shift had always been 6 down.
Race shift 1 up and 5 down.

 

As above straight down box I think with a button now pressed to allow neutral to be engaged

 

No as you still had neutral between 1 and 2. Think it’s only MGP that have these boxes??

 

How do you work that out? Pedrosa developed the Honda. All 93 does is throw it into the scenery if it doesn't feel right.

 

He throws it into the scenery because he’s attempting to push a bike that can’t run at the front. He’s an eight time world champion so I think it’s fair to assume he knows how to ride a bike.

Let’s wait and see if he’s still got it. On a competitive bike/package there will be no excuses. Interesting times again.

 

Ha ha, me or MM?? Doesn’t matter either way

 

Can that button be retro fitted to the bevels I wonder....
