Bradley going to ktm big gamble and surprise. At least he can relax thats he's got a seat and factory at that. Silly season started early and a bit messy already with tech3 rumours probably making Brad jump before pushed.
Depends who you believe. On Thursday Bradley tells the world and his dog that Herve had said to him he wont be offered a ride for 2017. 24 hours later Poncheral comes out and says he never told him that. Very strange turn of events.
Apparently teams hate to see that though. It means you could have gone faster earlier when your tyre was still good.
Not so sure about the Stevie G shite you were spouting there but my point re. Stoner is that he will have watched that race and fancied the top step. On the evidence from that race Ducati has moved forward. And with the right rider (Stoner, for example) maybe they could give Yamaha/Honda something to think about.... And so the Casey Stoner record goes on :sunglasses:
Im fairly sure he knew well before yesterday that he was the fastest rider on the Duc. Let’s be honest there’s probably only 2 riders in the world who would give Casey a run for his money, even now, on any bike. The fact is he doesn’t want to race so all this talk of Casey would have done better is pointless. Same as saying Gerrard could still be playing for Liverpool. He’s not, time to move on and stop regurgitating the same old “shite”.
hard to say with the new michelins isnt it, especially as they seemed to improve as the race goes on for everyone
Personally, I like the back end smoking and a tyre that gets better towards the end. I'd rather see a melee at the end, instead of a melee at the beginning and then the last 12 laps are a procession.
We had similar result at 1st race last year and then went backwards slowly and the same could happen again as the hondas and vr find their feet and catch up. Its a shame casey wasnt allowed to test the 16D16 before the race instead of after as he mightve found something to go extra tenth faster.
