Lorenzo: Force MotoGP riders to pit in the rain
25 November 2014
“I think if the white flag is waved and then all MotoGP riders have two laps to enter [the pits] it would be a good option” - Jorge Lorenzo.

StumbleUpon

When white flags are issued by Race Direction during a MotoGP race, allowing riders to swap machines due to rain, it should be compulsory for all riders to pit for their wet weather bikes.

That is the opinion of double world champion Jorge Lorenzo, who feels such a move would make the current 'flag-to-flag' system much safer. The bike swap option, introduced in 2005, is considered the 'least worst' solution to avoid stopping a race due to the arrival of rain.

However, as highlighted by accidents for Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa at Aragon, the system encourages riders - especially those leading in the closing stages - to risk staying on slicks due to the time lost by pulling into the pits.

Dani Pedrosa is thrown off his Repsol Honda will trying to remain on slicks tyres in the Aragon rain. Race leader Marc Marquez fell soon after for the same reason.

Lorenzo timed his own bike change to perfection for victory at Aragon, but would later lose out after pitting unnecessarily when light rain began falling in the Valencia finale.

“In my opinion for the show, for the entertainment, [flag-to-flag] is very good,” Lorenzo said at Sepang, the round before his ill-timed Valencia pit stop.

“For the safety of the riders I believe that it is not the best option. I understand that stopping a race for live television is difficult, but to race with slicks in my opinion is too dangerous.

“I said that one possibility is when the white flag is waving, to make the riders enter [the pits]. Don't say 'it's raining, you can now enter the pits if you want'. Instead say 'you must enter'. This would be good.

“I think if the white flag is waved and then all riders have two laps to enter [the pits] it would be a good option. But they didn't like my proposal so I think it will stay the same.”

The problem is that, while rain may be falling in one area, which would currently prompt Race Direction to make bike swaps an option, the rest of the track may still be too dry for wet tyres.

A minimum number of marshal posts reporting rain could be used as a trigger for enforcing bike swaps, but that still wouldn't take into account the difference between light drizzle and a heavy downpour.

Perhaps the easiest solution would be to set a cut-off maximum lap time, averaged between the race leaders, to determine if a circuit has become too dangerous for slicks and that all riders yet to change bikes must now do so.

For example, 10 seconds slower than the best (dry) lap of the weekend, or 110% percent of that lap time, to take into account track length. If no dry laps had been completed prior to the race, the official circuit record could be used.

The downside is that race leaders would then have further motivation to push on slicks, in order to stay under the target lap time. However with slicks losing their grip if not being 'worked' hard enough, cruising is not an option.

The rumoured return of intermediate tyres for the new Michelin era in 2016 could also strengthen the case for forced pit stops, with riders (or more precisely their teams) able to choose intermediate or wets for the second bike.

Among the other changes considered to make flag-to-flag safer was for each rider to wait for a fixed period of time (for example ten seconds) at their pit garage while changing bikes.

This was aimed at trying to improve pit lane safety, but would be difficult to monitor and, unless used in conjunction with compulsory bike swaps, would make riders even less inclined to pit due to further time lost.

Dorna director Javier Alonso pledged to look at ways to make flag-to-flag racing safer, alongside the removal of artificial grass, following the Aragon round.

Saturday, November 29, 2014 16:13 by Riccardo Gugliemetti - MotoGP

Galbraith: Rossi points to 10th title - GPOne.com
During the season of the championship we are used to seeing him at the wall. This time Silvano Galbusera takes off the clothes of chief mechanic, to wear as a spectator . The occasion for the Monza Rally Show, where the engineer Yamaha could not resist the charm of the four wheels, just like Lin Jarvis, present on Friday to race Brianza.

Even in Monza you wanted to watch Valentino?

" We are now inseparable - smiles - of course I came here for a ride. The Monza Rally is a race very spectacular, also there are many champions and many fans of the sport. Now that the season is over on two wheels, it's a way to always stay close to the engines . "

Even here Vale was able to find an opponent able to give him a hard time. It is not a Spaniard, but a Pole.

" I have seen, on this occasion Valentino not have it easy. It 's definitely a nice heads up the one with Kubica, which are detached from a few seconds. Among other things, Lin Jarvis came on a tour and they told me who was very fascinated by this rally . "

About a year ago began your experience in Yamaha. Initially there was a bit 'of concern about this change wanted by Rossi, but in the end it was a safe bet.

" True, there was some doubt on the part of the public, but in the end they spoke the results. I think it was a year very favorable. Valentino was immediately put on his head that had to again give a hard and, step step, we managed to reach an important goal . "

Vale was very clear at the end of the season, saying that next year you point to the tenth title.

" Usually the season is that it always points to improve the previous one , so the goal can only be getting the top spot at the end of the season . "

Yamaha that you found in found in the first test?

" We found a competitive bike, although I believe there are significant growth potential . In MotoGP every aspect makes a difference, because the pilot alone is not enough. In Spain we have been working on some details, on which we will have improvements in sight the Sepang test . "

On what we will be working primarily?

" On detached and seamless exchange . I also think that the electronic games a key factor in this MotoGP. We have to get prepared to the first test of 2015, to begin the next season taking immediately head to the Honda . "

Batman would like to be Marc Marquez!!!

http://gpxtra.com/2014/12/02/batman-...-marc-marquez/



Batman star Christian Bale has said that if he could be anybody else, it would reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez.

As we all know, Marc Marquez is now a four time Grand Prix World Champion. Wow-ing us every weekend with gravity defying riding that leaves us breathless, but it now appears that his talents are also greatly appreciated in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise is a well know MotoGP fan, but Marc Marquez has attracted a new fan in the shape of British actor, and star of the Christopher Nolan Batman film, Christian Bale. Bale has been in films such as American Hustle and The Fighter, as well as staring as Batman in the three hugely successful feature films.

“If I could be another person, I would choose the Spanish rider Marc Marquez,” confessed the actor speaking to Fotogramas ahead of his latest blockbuster ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’.

“I would love to be like him. I don’t ride bikes so much any more, but he is the king. He’s like a God on his bike.”

Bale won’t be starting as Batman in the new Batman vs Superman film due for 2016, so we won’t see any 93’s on the BatBike, or Bruce Wayne on a RC213V when fighting whatever villain tackles Gotham.

Marquez has been called many things during his meteoric rise in Grand Prix racing, but God will be a new one to him. If Rossi is the GOAT, does Marquez have the opportunity to be the God?

That remains to be seen, what is sure, is that everybody is stunned by what this man is achieving on a MotoGP machine – even Batman!

Paolo Ciabatti heaps praise on Iannone



By Aaron Rowles on December 6, 2014 in MotoGP News, News


Ducati Corse sporting director Paolo Ciabatti has said that new factory recruit Andrea Iannone has immense talent, and he wasn’t surprised at the success he had in 2014, despite his 2013 form.

Iannone signed for the satellite Pramac Ducati team for the 2013 season, and despite the occasional showing of impressive speed, crashes and inconsistent form marred the Italians progress, and there were even suggestions that he could loose his ride for 2014. Constantly racing through injuries and the slow progress of the Moto2 third place man from 2012, made 2014 a high pressure season for him.

After keeping his ride for 2014, Iannone repaid the extra faith from Ducati. Staying in the Pramac team, but on a factory bike, he out-performed new factory recruit Cal Crutchlow, and finished the 2014 season in tenth place, ahead of Crutchlow, and team mate Yonny Herenandez.

His tenth place finish, and five front row starts was enough to earn Iannone a seat in the full Factory Ducati side, alongside compatriot Andrea Dovizioso for 2015, with Crutchlow opting out of his contract for 2015. Something Ciabatti feels is Crazy Joe’s natural progression.

“I tried very hard a year ago, to make sure his contract was extended with an option for 2014, although his performances in 2013 were not always so positive,” Ciabatti explained to speedweek.com.

“But we must not forget: first and foremost, the bike was a problem last year, and secondly, Andrea was in his rookie season. He had falls, and then surgery. But I think Andrea has huge talent, he has moved forward in 2014.

“Sure, he has made some mistakes this season, but who doesn’t?

“Andrea has shown in 2014, what I expected, and I have given him credit for these results. I am glad that he has realised and implemented his talent.”

Iannone has enjoyed a relatively successful start to his stint as a full Factory Ducati rider, finishing the in fifth position during the end of season Valencia test, half a second off of Jorge Lorenzo’s fastest time. As well as just 0.1 seconds off of Andrea Dovizioso’s fastest time in the Jerez test at the end of the month, and all this on the GP14.2. The new Ducati isn’t due until the first Sepang test at the beginning of February.
