Vinales had so much potential when he came into MotoGP, and he's never fulfilled it. But sabotaging your own bike is just downright bizarre, even if Quartararo is being treated as the team No 1 (on merit to be fair).
Somewhat related, I still find it odd that a restart can lead to such completely different results though. Bagnaia was in 1st before the crash (admittedly it was only a couple of laps), but on the restart ended up 11th? Surely if you're fast on the day (even if you get swallowed up a little at the start) you'd end up somewhere near the front? ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

I wonder if Aleix will be eyeing up a nasty lunge on Marquez to return the favour from last weekend... ____________________ NSR125RR - ZXR750H1 - ZX9R E1 - GSF600S - GSF600SK3 - VFR400-NC30 - SV1000N - ST1100-R - CBR900RR-R - GSF1200SK5 - GSF600SK1 - VFR1200FA - GSXR1000K2 - ZZR1400 D8F

MV has just posted that he'll reveal all soon.
The bloke is a dick...I don't care if Yam have been x-y-z with him.
He attempted to wreck the engine and that means everyone who has worked hard on his bike have been treated as tw@ts too.
To purposely score an own goal and then get suspended, only to turn up a week later at the next match wearing the team kit is frankly ment-ment.
I don't want to see Cal topping up his massive pension and not laying it on the line...Put a hungry Moto2 rider on it.
MM is still wrecked...rubbing right shoulder in the FP sessions. His tolerance to the cortisone injections must be increasing...he'll be puking in his helmet next. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Linked brakes on a GP bike?!?
I must have missed that.
I'm just going out on a limb here...ahem...But I strongly suspect that the doctor's dangle wasn't solely invented by Vale. Grass trackers...speedway also employ it even if it's for different and practical reasons.
This forum of armchair racers possibly isn't the best place to get the definitive answer, and from reading articles each rider has their own take on why they do it....some don't even know why themselves.
Does sticking a leg out really stop overtakes....nah...leave a gap and all's fair in love and a podium....but hey ever seen Leon Haslam drop a leg...I mean it's a miracle he's still got 2 legs.
Increases drag? Yes, physics answers that one but there are many many world champions who don't drop a leg whilst braking heavily into a corner so it if was wholly effective they'd all do it....and with both legs....obviously not at the same time...but maybe the next generation will.
Body positioning and that extra weight on the inside? Maybe.
Thumb brakes have been around for decades for loadsa reasons...everything from riders wearing out their toes due to ground clearance issues to riders in the current era using the rear brake to help turn the bike in a corner. Better feel from a thumb brake too. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud
