Well well guys, before going
to analyze the whole race, all that happened, winners and losers, and all the rest
we have to go back in time
to Friday and Saturday
Why?
Because just as it happened in the SB
with Bautista
Ducati, etc
here, after the
fp1, fp2.. it already felt like
everyone had understood
who was gonna win the world cup, who was gonna lose,
Valentino had to withdraw
etc, etc, etc,
And the thing that surprised me most is how much
people want to find, at all costs,
something
to vent their frustration on, against someone
and most of the times this someone
is a guy who did it,
who has been really the undisputed leader for years
and it's annoying to see him there,
of course I'm talking about the situation of Valentino, who up to the qualifying didn't
exactly shine, for many issues
which he also addressed himself, openly.
And of course under every article
where the results were shown, many people
wrote "it's time you retire,
we've had enough, go home,
leave room to the younger ones, etc"
Viñales gave you 2seconds in the qualifying
ok, we get. You saw it too as well
plus, I almost forget. Most of all
they joked about the fact that last year
Viñales was given wrong bike to help Valentino out
who this year, I don't know if you remember, but in the tests
Valentino was very skeptical, in the tests he always said that
there were some improvements, but not too many
towards Ducati and towards Honda
who instead are there at the top
playing for the win. Along with Suzuki
who is catching up.
Instead on the other side there was  Viñales who as usual, every year,
by doing his lines, in the tests, he's calm
and he just goes and is like "all is good"
etc
Viñales comment after the qualifying
"Yamaha knows how I drive and what I need"
"I couldn't even pass today"
 
so embarrassing!
and by the way it's too early in the first race
to say that Valentino is right or Viñales is right
but it's pointless to make proclamations
after the fp1, fp2 about who is
finished and who's not, 'cause then
you make a fool of yourself, and on sunday
you disappear 'cause Vale went
from 14th to 5th with a good pace
and Viñales was behind, and who
knows why all this vehemence
I saw friday and saturday, on sunday
was totally gone
and as a rider, after reading all those
things on friday and saturday
I was anxious myself on behalf of Vale
because when a rider
does a bad race, or decent
no one talks about him
even wrongly, but when Valentino does something wrong
it's a disaster, nothing is forgiven
not even the fact that he might be having a hard time
for a test session, it's crazy
and I swear got anxious just reading
about all the pressure, those insults
and that anger, that -- I don't understand
the reason, simply. But the best thing
is that now they will appear
those who will
talk about the rubber -- I just wanna tell you this
since I have experience, since I'm tester
Pirelli, to think that a manufacture of tires builds
at highest level, so motogp
an average quality tire, to
keep the rubber  bonus
which improves by one second,
to give to those riders pushed by strong powers
is just like believing chemtrails
or that vaccines are bad.
They have no interest
whatsoever, in doing so. But the truth is that
it's even pointless for me to explain this
because it's obvious, but unfortunately
someone, and not just a few, still believe
in these conspiracy theories
Ok enough with this preamble, this is not supposed to be
something in favor of Valentino, but you all saw it
it's undeniable that on the internet
there's a jungle, as Malesani would say
for those who recall him. And by the way
after years and years and years where he
proved his talent and skills,
he still has to prove it. And so today to
put to rest the keyboard lions
he started 14th place, he passed everyone
he reached to front group
he passed his teammate, who started in pole,
and he got half a second behind the winner.
Now let's talk about the race. Now
it's very strange how this last one is taking place
because we see 15 laps
there's the line like in moto3
for the simple fact that the pace
increases by 2.5 seconds
compared to the qualifying, because the tires
would not resist, so it's like this
for 15 laps where we could
remove them 'cause the riders simply wait
they try to be soft on the gas
to not ruin the
rear and front tires, and be gentle
on the brakes too. Someone tries to act crazy
and don't care
but is passed again by those behind who want to
keep the pace and handle the situation
and everything goes back to normal, but there is no show like this
because yes they are all next to each other but no one does anything
and they just wait for the final 5 laps to unleash hell
just like it happened also this time were
at the last 5 laps various attacks started
as I anticipated in the previous video for the Qatar tests
more or less everything happend
Ducati hid
but then they had a great pace, especially Dovi
Petrucci you saw the issue in the
qualifying with Marquez,
etc, plus the fact that
he was in the middle of the group
and he struggled more that imagined
The Suzuki were struggling
and I didn't expect it so much, and a Marquez who
as usual, you might not like him
you might hate him,
but he's a beast
in his track
despite not being great, he's still
giving his best, just like last year
he wasn't in the condition to win, but
he held on and at the last lap he tried again
perfect cross by Dovizioso
and the arrival was like the copy  of last year
Lorenzo hit 3 times this weekend
or two, but still very hard
and he was in pain, so
we can't judge him, we'll see in the next races
Cal Crutchlow instead was very happy
because he destroyed his ankle and he came back
very strong, he's a consistent rider, podium at the first race
private team, nice!
let's see if he can do like 2/3 years ago where he even managed to win some races
and play for the championship, almost.
it's hard since he's in a private team
but
you never know.
The other Italian ones, unlucky ones,
Franco was a bit behind, he probably still has to
adapt to this m1
plus motogp is not
for many,
people don't get it, but the level... guys
I read the names and it's just world champs,
riders who are extremely  fast
it's hard to be in front. Ianna
is looking better,
he got 5 seconds behind his teammate,
which on a 20 lap race  is not much
so if Aprilia gives him what he asks
he could have some satisfactions.
I don't know how Ian
managed to stay up for the whole race and then
at the end we saw him go down
like a bullet.
He ended up in the gravel.
we don't get how he did it
so embarrassing! It's a mystery
which I can't solve, if someone knows what happen, write it in the comments
and let's move on to KTM
Espargaró, top12
not too bad, but this bike has been there for 3/4 years
and it's stable on those positions
and we see no growth
they got Zarco
who seemed like the saviour,
as usual, remember the issue with
Valentino, he accelerates with the private bike
and the official team gets nothing, etc
and I don't have to remind you how that ended..
and how it's going now. talking about
observing a bit before talking
but unfortunately
social media allow it
so we gotta avoid fake news
and stupid chit-chats
By the way I'm recording this video right after
the race so we still don't know about the aerodynamic appendages
how that's gonna end, because Honda
and other teams, did a complaint against Ducati
so we don't know how that's gonna end
and we'll find out in the next few days
everyone talked about these aerodynamic appendages
we still don't get what they are for
My opinion: for the front is needed mostly
to give as much air as possible to the radiator
because in the test they said they are trying to
find ways to cool down
the engine in situations of
extreme heat. this was not the case
but they are probably experimenting. Someone talked about
ground effect, but in the bike it's very hard to recreate
the so-called ground effect like in the cars
so I don't think that's the case. Probably
it helps a bit to keep the front  more attached to the ground
but it has the same function of the wings.
nothing revolutionary.
While in the rear, the so-called potato peeler
I have a hard time understanding it because the area is small
so it doesn't give much ground effect
except on the straight road
but since the bike have to keep the front
lowered, and not with too much grip on the rear
it doesn't make much sense, so if
you have an idea, write it
'cause I'm curious. Ok guys this video is over
first motogp race very exciting
the last 4 laps, I liked it
finally in just a few days
I'll try the new BMW at Misano Adriatico
I can't wait, I'll show it to you in the
next videos. Many are asking me
about the riding courses, so once again
I'm just there to teach
and give my best, but for
the organization you gotta write
to info@ridingschool.it
ask all the info you need
and they'll rely asap.
Aside from the Italian championship  you know that I'll do
I'll give up some insight on that
when it's all confirmed, on the extra races
and some nice things are coming
like going to Germany and
France, on my BMW
and I'll race with the motard
and with the pitbike. So to not miss anything
subscribe to the channel
and on twitch for the live videos
that will start in just a bit. As usual, gas
see you next video!
