Hi guys and welcome to this new video.
First of all, I would like to start by thanking
all of you because
I had a crazy fear
of not being able to convey
what I wanted through the special 100.000
and instead it was appreciated in a way
really --- I was moved.
You left comments that --
you opened my heart
so thank you, thank you, thank you.
But, back to us and our everyday life
there have been the superbike races
in Australia and the motogp tests
in Qatar, so since on the internet
between  Bautista
Ducati comments, and other stuff
I read -- really
I mean, they opened the cages
it really seemed right to do
some clarity on all these dark points
that I know many people find
it hard to understand. Right after the intro
 
 
 
I want to start with the superbike because it really is one of the
topics that most inflamed
this weekend. Especially this
SuperDucati which kicked
everyone's ass
And right away the anti-ducati people were like
"it's because it has
2000 more revs --"  guys,
there's a regulation that's not written by  Mickey Mouse,
I mean, it's studied
and approved by everyone, more or less,
and then drafted by
technical managers. If If Ducati makes a road bike
that runs at 2,000 rpm higher than the other series bikes,
it is normal that it has this advantage
What's the problem? The prize cup of the bikes
because the bike that is homologated say for the superbike must cost
max €40.000 in production,
and the Ducati costs - go figure -
€39999, the V4R
while the other are about €21-22.000
so it's obvious there's a disparity
in this, but what can we do about it?
Ducati as usual tries to
not to bypass the rules,  but to
follow the rules borderline
and still manage to
not be out of regulation, and most of all have the chance to
have a bike that's super competitive.
another important point: If there had not been the dear Bautista,
today we'd be here to talk
of the Ducati disaster
because Davis 7th,
the others were behind, so he made
a huge difference, and here we see another important point
all the lazy bar-like people
that the fastest thing they did was eat some chips in the shortest time possible
sitting on the couch
they get out of their cages,
and say "what a shitty level has the suberbike"
"mediocre riders"
"of course a guy from MotoGp arrives and
kicks everyone's ass"
let's go back in time
What did Hayden do? May he rest in peace
Nothing. What did Barberà do?
He's not even in superbike anymore but in supersport
Nothing. He moves around between 20th and 15th place,
and he was one that at motogp did top 10. Abraham, not a genius, but still
a good rider, in superbike he did
worse than in motogp. So what's the point?
it's not about
the motogp riders who are
much more competitive than those of the superbike, but it's about
having a very fast rider
like Bautista, because I think that in motogp he's never had
a competitive bike  while in superbike yes
which thanks to a super competitive rider
again I think he's amongst the top 6-8
in the world,
qualitatively speaking, and a bike project
that's the new superbike Ducati
really efficient, probably
for him, right now better
than the competitors like Ducati
because 2000 extra revs are a real thing, and so the
union of winning package and very competitive rider
allowed to beat the competitors.
But again it's not that Rea a useless rider
because if he's go to motogp, he would not win but
he'd be stable at the top 5 with a winning bike
so we always gotta calibrate the fact "rider"  "bike"
"package" and everything else.
You don't just win with the bike, and you don't just win with the rider.
To end the superbike topic,
another very stupid thing I've heard
tons of times, was about
"4r wins because it derives from
the motogp"
Great marketing strategy by Ducati
by saying that it derives from Motogp
but let's be honest
the motogp
has 270 hp
if it goes well, not more.
the superbike about 220-230
and that's like 50 hp less
that's like a difference between a 600 and a 1000 superbike,
first of all. Second of all,
the tires. We have the Michelin  in motogp which are
totally different from the
superbike Pirelli in the superbike
the cycling is totally different
 
so it's not that Alvaro
was at ease with the 4vr
superbike because it comes from the motogp
I mean, those are bikes that have nothing to do with one another
but coming from a
a bike like motogp
that is a highly competitive vehicle
exclusively for racing, and then getting
to a more road bike, so more
user friendly, especially
with the Pirelli tires, which are much more
easy to feel, the bike moves a bit more
they are much more communicative
compared to the Michelin, this allowed
Alvaro to go very fast, while those who
go from a superbike with bikes, as we said before
a bit more road, with tires
much more user friendly, which go to motogp
which is a different world, they struggle more
and let's not forget that rea back in the days when he wasn't yet
at the top, he did
a good impression because with a Honda gotten the day before
he got 6th or 7th if I'm not mistaken
so these are very good results
so let's not judge
randomly without knowing stuff
after just the first championship race, please.
Last thing, everyone wrote to me
"bmw is so slow, aren't you worried..?"
yeah I am, but it's not because it's slow
but the problem is that it had the standard engine on
because they were late
as you know we still don't have
the bike, because everyone's late
they didn't even manage to have a superbike engine
they are racing with a balanced engine
almost standard one
and the superbike engine will arrive only
in Aragon, like for us
so personally during the first race I'll be struggling a bit
because I don't know if I'll have the
super competitive  engine, we'll see. Back to
the motogp
quickly, 'cause we can't do a 10 year long video
but I still feel it's the copy
of last year, that is a fast Viñales
and who's always like "everything's good"
and then there'll be issues.
But let's hope not and let's cross our fingers.
Also 'cause it's great how
Valentino in the superbike, at the second day
was like 18th, 19th place, and everyone
"*****" "he's dead"
last day, soft tire, gas,
5th, and he's back to being
in the place he's supposed to be in
but he keeps his feet on the ground, saying that we're not ready yet
for the positions that matter
meaning the first position, so I think that
both him and Viñales are missing
a small step towards the victory
Personally I think that the Ducati have
hid so much
especially Dovizioso, who simply tried
solutions for the race without ever looking for
the time lap, and you get see that
from the chronologic, I think that
he plays for the victory
pay attention to Petrucci, because
the guy with the official bike
is fast and he's surprising me, I gotta say
Who knew? and I think he could
aim for the podium  in Qatar
Quartararo is a revelation, I think that since he's young
he simply looked for
the time lap, sorry for the hand gesture
it was the gas,
so I don't think he could win
although he got 2nd,
Rins I think could really
make the podium, and why not
he could also win.
But I think that Suzuki is still missing a bit of engine power.
even though they say they fixed it
but many just look at the max speed
but it's also the acceleration that does it
and I think they could still work on that.
The Honda duo are also
still studying the race pace
I don't see Lorenzo totally
okay, he did few laps
and just a few fast.
While Marquez seems okay  with the shoulder
but don't think he can win in the first race.
But there is still a long time to go 'til the first race
so maybe he's gonna be okay with the shoulder and he'll manage to
make a difference as usual. A Bagnaia
a bit delayed, but I think he's gonna do good
in the race, 'cause the pace is not bad
he's in the top 10,
so not in that bad place he's at right now. Our Franco Morbidelli
instead is doing much better,
he has a good pace as well,
he could play for top 6,
that wouldn't be a bad result, at all. I'm very confident
for Franco who this years needs to --
do very well. Something I've seen in these
tests which I find very surprising  is Ducati's
constant quest for detail for every rider
like for example I don't know if you saw the deflector
that brings a bit more fresh air via the rear
for Petrucci who is a rider
heavier than the average .. think about it
he's considered a heavy rider, and he weights 75kg
I weight 82, come on --
Having said this, the KTM
not so good, they might still have
some work to do
like the dear Ian, who with the Aprilia
will be a nice
mess, but let's hope that
he'll do good in the race, and I think that
if he can figure it out
he might make it amongst the top 10,
Ok guys,
I quickly said all that I had to say
on motogp and superbike, but really
there would not have been enough time to say everything in detail
I can't wait
for the first motogp race, we'll see how
the guys are gonna behave. This weekend I'll go to
Alcarrás for the official Pirelli tests
where all the teams will be, supported.
It's gonna a be a great opportunity to do
lots of videos for you. Don't forget
that I'll be doing a surprise there and
I'll try to show you live
all that goes on during
the tests, so what happens, what we do, the tests
that we do in that moment,
where at every box exit I'll try to talk to you a bit
all of this will be done both on youtube and on
twitch, so make sure you subscribe to twitch channel if
you haven't done so yet, go do it!
IMPORTANT NEWS. MY NEXT LIVE VIDEOS WILL BE ON
DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEW CHANNEL
Like this you'll be able to see live
what's gonna happen during the tests
the races, and we'll see how to
organize all that, 'cause it's not very easy
but again, we'll do perhaps an hour
90 minutes of live, everyday during the
tests. To try it out and see how
it goes, and if it's something useful, something cool,
etc. As usual, subscribe to the channel if you haven't done it yet
and activate the bell. Gas
see you next video!
