The ?why? of the Estoril GP

The why of the Estoril GP

The why of the Estoril GP

Why Jorge Lorenzo, after having led for 24 laps, running constantly between 1’38 “3 (taken from the first two steps) and 1’37″ 865 (the 13th step, his best lap time) slowed suddenly losing in the second half A single turn?
Being in command is physically and psychologically very expensive, especially turning to the rhythm imposed by Lorenzo. So at the beginning of lap 25, Jorge has forced most of the time off at the first corner – where, he said, his Yamaha was not fully developed – with the intention of throwing a little ‘breath. Pedrosa, however, not only has the past, but has actually increased the pace (Pedrosa got his best time in 1’37 “629 on the penultimate lap): Jorge at that point no longer had the strength to respond.

Why Casey Stoner was never in the fight for victory?
In the first round took Stoner suffered a bad skid, then crashed in front of Simoncelli and this, of course, the fact lose some ‘time. It took a few laps to get a good rhythm, but then crashed back: it’s been good to hold on to the finish.

Why Andrea Dovizioso was unable to stay with his teammates?
Friday Dovizioso has been disastrous in both free practice sessions and this has severely affected his performance. As had already happened in Jerez, Dovi has struggled to find the right set-up of his Honda in the MotoGP and now if you are having difficulty in testing, you can not do miracles in the race. Andrea said that the fault is mainly his own, to change the working method and approach in the tests, both in practice and in qualifying.

Why Randy De Puniet struggled so much?
Jerez Tuesday after the French was made Ducati the left leg, badly injured last year in Germany, the export of screws. De Puniet has made such great effort that has even decided to skip the test on Monday.

Why Ben Spies has combined all the colors, before falling to the 13th round?
What happened to the World Champion SBK incredible: the mechanics forgot that you put the clamp to block the vent pipe of gasoline. This has taken away to concentration Spies, who before fall, is long gone three times, almost killed Hayden and continued to make mistakes.
“I am bitterly annoyed – Spies said – for what has happened. We had a motion to make a good race, when I hit the caliper, I tried to remove it, but then I was on the tube and I got frustrated so much to be afraid to combine into trouble, because I could not brake properly. ”

Why Ducati gets better with the wet and the dry?
Loris Capirossi has no doubts.
“With the water is much slower and, consequently, the limit is lower: this is the only reason.”
Valentino Rossi, however, is not so sure.
“Usually we say that the wet exacerbates the problems of a motorcycle, but the Ducati is driving very well on the water, is competitive. But I do not know why, and for some strange law of motorcycling …
It ‘s true that with the sun, the GP11 is too stiff, but everything seems to work well in the wet. “
