It seems that the world's fastest test rider's inputs haven't really helped HRC to develop RC213V in the right direction.

Off topic: Hutchy's supersport win at the IOM TT is a stuff of legends. His leg was somehow (More than 30 ops!!) saved from being chopped off a few years ago and now, a proper win!

Ian Hutchison won again? I missed seeing the updates.
Wow. That is really wow.
I didnt knew about the guy till I saw the IOM TT Documentary and from what I know he is the only one to have won all the 6 six races in 1 IOM season.

I saw about his accident in that documentary too.

WOW!! Total respect. This guy must be something else in that case. Coming back from an accident that almost took his leg off to winning the TT again.

Thanks

The "accident" you mentioned must be of Conor Cummins, the IOM rider aboard Kawa which gets totaled at the Mountain Course. Well, Hutchy's leg got run over at Silverstone (BSB championship) in 2010.

One more - he won Superstock too. 10 TT wins!

No, No. I was referring to Hutchy's accident only. On one of the Racetrack races and you are right, it was Silverstone (BSB championship) in 2010.

Truly a remarkable come back.

Did I share this pic of Marc's crash on the Michs last week

He's modified the exhaust to a whole new direction - literally

maybe Honda should test out that direction of the exhaust as well. Reduce the aggressive power delivery for Marquez

Put in a flame thrower, and Marc will be overtaking everyone in front of him with panache!!!

Superbike Planet as they do often, just copy paste someone else's work. This was a Gpone interview in Italian. They translated it without giving credit. That is why i long ago stopped following Soup!!!

Just this one. There are the usual stuffs - t-shirts, caps, flags, key chains and also, his 2007 QatarGP prize and Dianese (Yamaha) racing suit.

Looking forward to the qually tomorrow - Rossi should find the "base set up"!

If they just listened to you

They got a new exhaust, again in the wrong direction...that too a longer one

by the way, Suzuki got new engine parts and they certainly look to be making a difference in FP2 using the softer option available to open factories.

Re: MotoGP 2015 Season - Updates

Rookie Maverick goes fastest in FP3, with Suzuki taking the top two positions. Iannnone and Pedrosa have to go through Q1.

Suzuki has upped the ante. Great to see

Tweaking the motor for more power hasn't really taken out its handling characteristics. By far, GSXRR is the sleekest bike in the paddock. And certainly, the best looking at the moment!

Apparently AEsp wants more power, this is not enough he says, still down on power compared to the Yamaha. Wants another 4-5kmph to slipstream the Yams.

The bumpy nature of the track is helping out the lesser powered Suzuki. From what i have gathered from tweets, BTSport Commentary etc.

Re: MotoGP 2015 Season - Updates

1-2 for Suzuki! Wow!!
[MENTION=38603]The Monk[/MENTION]: Suzuki can't go on for full beans as of now. It's all by step else, they 'll risk a lot of blown motors just like Valencia 2014.

Re: MotoGP 2015 Season - Updates

Those blue bullets. Damn!!!
It's hard to believe the time it they took around that circuit.
I'm sure the tyres played a big role, but that speed was killer in those corners. It was easy to see how controlled they were. My man from Moto 3 on front row :P

**chinmayakar** · 06-13-2015, 11:05 PM

Re: MotoGP 2015 Season - Updates

wow!! Did you see the qualifying. When was the last time Suzuki got a 1-2 start in MotoGP. Suzuki is surely making a remarkable comeback with both their riders proving they too are aliens. Hope Vinales is able to fight for the podiums as he is a guy who deserves atleast one MotoGp title.

Rossi sadly finished 7th and I sincerely hope he is able to climb up the ladder soon, before Lorenzo takes the lead and disappears. I think Rossi should retire incase he is not able to get his 10th title this year as this would allow young talent to race for Yamahas. Please dont attack me for thinking out loud. This is just my opinion.
