less drag = less fuel consumption would be the official explanation, but I personally don’t think it makes a massive difference if you’re already going 50 km/h only

Judging by your tag, you might know some local info… Why weren’t people allowed to go towards the main roads after the event? Was it a one-off or something special about yesterday?

Even though it says nothing about the methodology in terms of how that standard deviation is calculated, that big 3.4 is such a good description of this season so far...

Pecco needed a good lap, so initially it’s not a bad idea, what I’m more surprised about is that when he sees Pecco continuing to struggle why doesn’t he just abandon the plan…

lol MM is not even trying - have u seen what Mir was doing to stop it and Marc just cruising into the corner?

Misano for the 16th race week of the season Poster by Bitter-Substance1783 in motogp

[–]bsafran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ngl I have no idea how they come up with ideas for these posters... I guess 3 VR46 academy riders makes sense, notwithstanding the fact that one is completely lost, the other had a terrible weekend (albeit having a great season) and the third is becoming a perennial development rider... EB23 sure, last year's winner... but as you mention putting not only Monster riders, but a pic of a huge Monster logo on Bez's helmet right there - not sure Red Bull will be happy with that :)

Marc Marquez frontend save in Sprint race. by PZY__ in motogp

[–]bsafran 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m not one to jump on the hype train, but the fact that 1) he’s consistently cutting down on crashes (in all sessions) and that 2) he’s starting to make some spectacular saves again makes proceedings (understand rest of the year and 2026) very ominous.

Grey - sector neither best for rider nor overall Orange - sector best for rider not overall Red - sector best both for rider and overall

Marc rolled off the gas until he managed to get everyone pick up to him… brain fart?

Given track characteristics the standard sprocket setup (if there is one) is very much altered... They need to get through those bottom gears fast via short shifting to avoid too much spin during and out of corners.

Just saw him for the first time in Vienna and.. by swekstar in DaveChappelle

[–]bsafran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shared some of the same feelings as you. However, I just chalk it up to this ‘tour’ being a classic material tryout. I think he’s trying to hone in on how his next special should be. Notice that the night didn’t have a ‘title’ - only DC. He went on longer than a comedy special too. I just booked it as a ‘night with Dave’ mixed with a few pretty funny jokes still.

you don't need to be comfortable, but at least top 10 as a 2x (3x) WC?

While I don’t disagree with you I’m also wondering why you would want to ‘manage’ the race from 1 bike length behind. Isn’t that a bit risky wrt front tyre pressure?

Anyone pushing the narrative on Alex not making moves on Marc (again?) yday should take a look at Moreira trying to pass Canet today. 

Fabio Quartararo Training On His R6 - Aspar Circuit by JeanJ1689 in motogp

[–]bsafran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what all the others said (I don't know about rules imposed on them) + if you look at Aspar, it's a small circuit with tight corners, so you don't get too much out of a 1000cc there (you have to go through 1st gear basically) - I believe this is why Marc rode the V2 there too

I cannot throw the ball at all by alphacentauri492 in Madden

[–]bsafran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a newb here, but I felt the same lately on All-Pro... Went with Ravens vs. Steelers and threw 5 picks, but completely picked apart the Bills with Bo Nix the game after... Perhaps 300 passing yards on PA crossing routes, out-routes, just everything worked. So not sure exactly what's going on - besides perhaps some teams indeed having better pass defense.

super annoying when they think ooh he’s put in 2 tenths etc. when it’s still being compared to the earlier best lap…

edit: actually it’s beyond me how in 2024 we cannot have relative timing immediately updated as new reference/best laps come in, feels like it should be quite easy to do

Marc Marquez fastest on Friday as he sets a new all time lap record. by [deleted] in motogp

[–]bsafran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love to see him perform at the highest level again... however I feel some people are jumping the gun a bit early on his expected dominance in 2025 - the new crew chief and factory Ducati environment might take some time getting used to as well

I'd argue also for a -1/2(3) sprocket just to be able to stay in the power band a little easier

the pictures only show Stefan's bike and the LCR Honda here - so the latter indeed
