Simon keep doing it, no other sports can tell us this level of details in very comprehensive way. It also helps to show how complex motogp actually is and may even more than cars.. Such as f1. I do work in aircraft maker and the challenges of motorcycle engineers are more similar to airplanes than something with wheels. Well done! Thank you!
Mercedes for F1 does this too..
Definitely not more complex than f1. F1 has twice as many wheels!
Very interesting Simon. More of this sort of technical content would be appreciated by me.
More of this, very comprehensive and valuable, go ahead Simon
Excellent. Yes, more of this type/subject of tech talk.
Thanks.
Great job dude, love your stuff on here 🤘.
Finally feels like MotoGP are giving there fans a decent amount of content and info! Keep it up y'all 👍🤘🤙
Simon has been a great addition to the MotoGP coverage. I wasn’t sure about him at first but now his insight is fantastic at the races. By far the best pit reporter they’ve had imo. Thanks Simon.
9:05 Simon's sound effects are the best
I really enjoyed this video. I would love to hear more about the feel of the bike, during situations. One example would be trail braking into a corner and the feel from the front end. Questions to answer may be; what the feel is when you have too much or too little tire pressure, too much or too little rebound, what it feels like when the front end wants to wash out. A second topic may be accelerating out of a corner, the throttle feel before and after closing the throttle, and then opening the throttle back up, and where the limit is on opening the throttle back up. A final example would be leaning the bike; which body parts do you most use to start a corner and end a corer, and why. In addition, if you need more lean angle is it best to counter steer or remove throttle, etc.
Pls continue for this tech talk, good explaining,thank
Even without graphics, I was able to follow what you were trying to explain pretty well Simon. Can't wait to hear more!
Love these. Simon Crafar is a Huge asset to MotoGP; the depth he provides to the experience is immensely valuable.
Thanks a lot Simon for these wonderful insights. Please keep making more of them. As a mechanical engineering student, these topics greatly interest me and it's always awesome to hear it from a riders perspective.
Thanks Simon, I really enjoyed the technical content and I look forward to seeing more in the future.
I love how you still start with “my name is Simon Crafar”!! Mate we know who you are! You’re awesome. Love your videos Simon. I always feel a little bit smarter after watching.
The science behind the whole race and the motorbike is amazing ❤️ more of these please
Simon please keep them coming. You have a wealth of information and convey it so well!
Awesome tech talk. the amount forces in place when you ride a bike are insane. Please more of this. Great job Simon
That was fascinating Simon. Your insight and experience really adds to the sport for us spectating. Please keep them coming!
this is wonderful, this kind of concept tech talk and showing the parts and how they're put together complete each other.
Thank you Simon.
Simon Crafar's Tech Talk video are consistently excellent. He has a prodigious ability to clearly explain complex and subtle vehicle dynamics. Keep 'em coming!
I like these type of videos, and the way you are teaching me. The more information you release , the more I want to know about the tech side of motogp. Thanks!
For us who has the English language as a second language, we appreciate your ways to explain things. If an engineer would explain they would describe the same thing the language would be more complex and far less understandable. Keep up the good work Simon and let these tutorials coming.
I admire Simon's determination to make the technical insights understandable to us all. On Inertia it's not that a car "want's to get going" rather that it wants to keep going, once it is moving. That one word difference is key, and is Newton's law in practice.
Great insight into the spinning mass of the rotating components. I was just at Mugello and agree that the final chicane is a great test of turn speed and stability. See MotoVudu for Simon's guidance on body position and movement...
Fascinating insight into the Inertia effect on engine braking and the ways to fix that. Sounds like the spec ECU is limiting Honda from tuning the engine braking with fuel adjustment so that they can't overcome the crank weight of a sealed engine. Clearly Honda know how as the 2020 Fireblade has engine braking settings to choose from, and I guess they did that long ago when they had free choice of electronics.
Yes, always informative, always interesting with added value because of your personal insights as a rider. Keep them coming.
This is great, Simon. This deep dive tech talk format is amazing, more please for the hardcore fans out there!!!
Great videos mate, keep them coming!
Really enjoy the technical aspects of MotoGP, keep them coming please. Struggle to find these on the MotoGP website though.
SIMPLY BRILLIANT once again Simon, thank you for this insight into inertia and gyroscopic effect, I just wish you had some visuals to show us, but your explanation is pretty good. Would like to know more such things, makes watching MotoGP even more interesting.
I found it very informative and useful like all of the tech talks. Look forward to a new video each time a new one comes up...
hi Simon, more of these tech talks please, this is one of the best things about motorsport at the highest level - the break through in new technology is truely amazing & mind boggling - thanks for all your insights & thoughts
Simon, it's like peeking into the paddock and over hearing the bike engineers talk....love it
Fantastic. This was incredibly interesting. More of this please!
Love this. Would love to see more of this type of content!
Excellent and very interesting! Thanks so much, Simon.
Very timely topic Simon. You explained it very clearly and concisely as well. Thank you.
Great explanation! I read about reversed crankshafts a few months ago but your explanation added a bit of depth to my understanding.
Love it Simon! Keep em coming!
You are bloody brilliant at explaining this. I've fully understood gyroscopic effect for a long time but this was a great chat about it and had loads of little details I've never thought about with motogp engine and chassis tech. Top job Si'
I hope you keep up with these videos. Honestly, I learned a lot. I'm not a mechanical engineer, but I like machines and I really liked to listen to your explanation.
Another brilliant Tech Talk. Thanks, Simon, we appreciate it.
Very precise Simon. A very informative video. Amazing job.
Great tech talk, I am 61, I am an engineer and I really enjoy you tech talks, you bring the right balance of technical and rider’s experience on the field. Excellent, keep them coming. Saludos from Pasadena CA
Being an engineering student and science lover it was a welcome episode. I believe everyone should have a basic understanding of physics and how it impacts us in many ways.
Absolutely fascinating.........more please Simon.
Thanks Simon keep the videos coming Really interesting
A very nice addition to tech talk giving the viewers an overview of some of the physics behind MotoGP. Bring us more How about the way tires and tarmac interact in braking, acceleration and cornering. perfect place for some vector diagrams. Cheers. Your interviews and analysis and tech talks are an outstanding component to my enjoyment of MotoGP.
Really well explained Simon .. awesome job.. do keep making these videos. It will make us road riders more aware and more safe.👍

I enjoyed the talk! Thank you Simon.
Love all this information Simon. Explained in layman’s terms so us mere mortals can understand.
Love it Simon! You are amazing👏🏼👏🏼
Great explanation, Simon. Had not thought about a heavier reverse-rotating crank having more gyro canceling effect but makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Nice useful information ,and free!! thanx a lot!
Thanks Simon! Great info
Thanks for sharing! A difficult topic to explain but still an excellent way of doing it / trying for us.
Fantastic Simon,thanks !
Keep em coming Simon, this was awesome
Yes, love this sorta stuff! I have a basic understanding of inertia and gyroscopic effect so its great to hear how the manufacturers are trying to battle against and using it to there advantage. More tech vids pease!
Great talk. Keep it coming.
This is amazing. I loved this video.
great videos, thanks! really briliant explanations.Always. First time I hear about Honda handling and inertia. Would be cool to explain in videos what each motorbike seems to feel like from padock point of view. Thanks again.
This is amazing Simon! Love how you break down complex concepts. Is motovudu still alive and kicking or is motogp taking up all your time now? I especially wait for your comments and insights during the race. Listening to such a well informed racer give his insight is priceless IMO
Simon, you explain things in such a way that anybody can understand it.... genius!...keep on doin'
Simon, this material is excellent! You are a gem in the motorsports world! As motorsports fans were inundated with watered down, inane, coverage supposedly targeting the “new fan”. Truly in-depth coverage is absolutely refreshing!
