    So sad to see Danilo leave the paddock. His win in Mugello on the factory team was truly an emotional moment for me. All the riders work really hard, but its just easier to see it in him, and it makes you sympathize with his efforts even more. Such humble and genuine character. He will gather fans and adoration everywhere he goes. Good luck!

      Yeah I agree with you. If you miss the video, I suggest to you to recover the interview in Le Mans last year when he receives the phone call by his mum: really another emotional moment which made me cry, it’s my favourite ❤️🇮🇹❤️

      It was amazing to see him win a stage at Dakar and break down realizing he had fulfilled his father’s dream to win both MotoGP race and a Dakar stage. MotoGP will miss his open and charming personality.

    Simon thank you for all the tech talks you've done this year. It's given me an appreciation for the sport on a whole other level and I can't thank you enough for what you do and how you go about doing it. Look forward to all your coverage next year and many more to come

    Being a factory racer is tough, so much pressure
    Most people can't even handle their job.....this whole organization has invested millions and has 100 people working just for you....
    The fewer people on the planet that can do your job the more money you make.....100% true
    Have heard people say if I rode everyday I'd be a professional too....or if I played golf everyday in be on PGA TOUR.
    no you wouldnt.....probably wouldn't even get thru amateur
    It's whole different level and world.....very cut throat and its all performance based unlike most jobs.....
    Much respect to any professional athlete.....

    I've been rewatching Petrux's podium races, and it's plainly obvious to see where his mass goes from being a liability in the dry to an asset in the wet. It was easier for him to keep heat in the tires, and it shows in his confidence in the rain.

    He was right about the mighty CS27 - in his must read book, Pushing the Limits, Casey makes mention of the off bike workload and media commitments.
    But he mainly walked away from bureaucracy and shit fans. He recalls when brit ‘fans’ would spit on him for winning…..wtf….
    Anyhoo Simon, thanks for a wonderful year of incredible insights into the sport we love.

    • @otisjacksonjunior9795

  • @jiboo6850
    @jiboo6850 Před 2 lety

    i don't agree with Danilo about the rider size. of course being tall isn't the best but at least you own the bike and can hold it better than very small riders like Pedrosa or Capirossi who were too small and too light (even for softest tyres). the good range is between 160cms to 180cms tall. with short bust and slightly longer legs to tuck easier behind the wind screen and to control the bike leaning easier with the knee.
    Danilo is just over that highest value with a long bust. it's still managable but only if the bike reach and stack range allow it. because some bikes can deal with bigger size riders easier than others. because the possibility to tweak the rider position is there. which isn't the cas for KTM that is good for slightly smaller riders than him. therefore they have to adjust fairings and footpegs out of range for the bike which create leaning issue or aero issue on the straights (more drag). which lead to lesser good laptimes.

    • @143DREWID
      @143DREWID Před 2 lety

      So... in FP1 + 2 combined all riders are lapping within 2.0+ seconds and FP1 was raining.
      Often they can be within 1.5 seconds or even less.
      The difference which you state does not matter, actually does.
      20 years ago, not so much.

    • @jiboo6850
      @jiboo6850 Před 2 lety

      @@143DREWID do you even read dude? jesus christ... i talk about laptimes impacted by that. unreal. the main problem is proportions. Danilo's long bust is the issue here not the size total itself. got it this time? -_- BTW Simon rode for GP500 and told in this video it was an issue for him too. probably what costed him his place in the queen category. even if he worked hard he can't beat physics of a big body over a rather tight machine.

    • @143DREWID
      @143DREWID Před 2 lety

      ​@@jiboo6850 Math and physics obviously can not calculate ability 100% of the time. Danilo's Mugello win showed such. However calculating lap times over 23+ - laps weight/size shows its face upon fuel, tires, rider, race line, and competition. The torso in fierce competition and additional body weight, obviously effects above. You say both yes and no to weight chasing one factor. Big body = more weight, reducing power to weight ratio, increasing braking distance, increasing air drag(your individual proclamation), and above stated factors.
      Take away computer assistance and corner programming and these variable would be reduced alongside all other new records. Except braking maybe. GP bikes are designed for GP jockeys to win. Too big, no win barring exceptional abilities or circumstances. It's the Matrix.
