The debut of the Ducati GP 11.1

The debut of the Ducati GP 11.1

ASSEN – Two episodes are worth a discussion: the debut of the Ducati GP11.1 and the cancellation of afternoon programming due to the oil left in a very long stretch of track – is about three kilometers – a Moto2. We begin by Ducati of course, because as it is normal, the GP11.1 is discussed. Dead in the bud the doubt raised by a Spanish website that last week at Mugello Rossi had not tried the 800 and 1000, it is legitimate to ask whether it is right that the Ducati motorcycle to deploy a new season. In fact, as unfortunately happens often in smoky MotoGP regulations, is not written anywhere that it is forbidden to what has been done by the House of Ducati, but it is true that a chassis is used for theoretically founded GP12, Ducati for next season . As is known, the riders can not practice during the season using the bike in the race, while there are eight days (for House) to develop the next season of 1000. An exception due to the important regulatory changes for the championship in 2012: the only way Smith could try (and promote) a cycle that otherwise would never have used this year, if not the day after the scheduled test of the GP Czech Republic on 14 August. No matter how you see, what is clear is that it is absurd to try to prevent all drivers during the season: in practice, the motorcycle is the only sport where the athlete can not train, but the House spending However the money to run the testers. What is the point? No one and, moreover, works against the show, because then a brand can not – or we can with great difficulty – to recover any disadvantage to a rival.

MOTORCYCLE AND ONE FOR 125 MOTO2: ABSURD!
Let the minor displacements, in particular to Moto2. Baldolini and Marquez broke the engine in the first free practice session, but instead of stopping immediately continued, flooding the track with oil, to clean the track so that the Race Direction has had to cancel all afternoon program, with the shift the second free practice tomorrow morning, when all classes will perform a turn by 90 minutes. Baldolini and Marquez will probably not have even noticed the engine failure, but not only when they have only one motorcycle, the riders do their best to reach the box in any condition, why stop along the track would, in fact, lose all the turn. What is the point? None. Okay you need to save money, but here we are running a world championship, not to have two bikes in the pits is an absolute contradiction. It’s also dangerous, as we have seen well at Assen.
