Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
I don't think that Ducatis are more competitive. It is just that in the wet, you are not riding on the edge of the tyre, the weak point of the Ducati. And the riders know that this is they best chance for a decent result, so they put in an extra bit of effort. My opinion of courseOriginally posted by nirvaana View PostWhat makes Ducati so competitive in wet conditions?

That would be a million dollar question. When asked to Ducati riders last year-Nicky and Rossi, they simple said:Originally posted by nirvaana View PostWhat makes Ducati so competitive in wet conditions?
"We don't know." But the confidence with with the factory Ducati men can throw the bike around in the wet is plain to see.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

Nicky has something to add, "In the wet we don’t have the same problems we have in the dry, the turning, the chatter, the wheelies they disappear and our bike works really well in the wet.”Originally posted by R-series View PostThat would be a million dollar question.

I think it was In germany, it rained, and we(most of us ) thought Rossi would do well. But then, the track requires so much edge grip........
Regarding photo, Can Yamaha point this and have marquez DQ for a race??
