1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: The Pit Top Podcast is officially back for twenty twenty six,

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: and this season hits differently. Twenty twenty six is not

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: just another year on the calendar. It's the final chapter

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: before MotoGP twenty twenty seven.

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Regulation reset, a.

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: Complete technical overhaul is coming, new engine rules, new era limits,

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: a new era that is next year, and we've still

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: got twenty two races to go first. Here's the twist though,

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: this year, most of the manufacturers are locked in an

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: engine free so that means there's no major development happening there.

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: So where do you find the edge when you can't

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: touch an engine. You get creative, You chase marginal games,

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: You obsess over details, and that's exactly where today's guests will.

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: Come in Pit Top Podcast.

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: We are back. I am your Home to Rinita Vmulan

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: alongside mister Matt Clayton, our Moto GP guru. Matt we

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: were talking off yet it feels like only ten minutes

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: ago we were on holiday, and then ten minutes ago

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: we were recording our last podcast.

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does seem like a while, but look, we

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: are so back. I'm really looking forward to this season.

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: It's kind of a it's a strange one in a way,

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: because there'll be some carryover from last season and everyone's

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: got half an asle, maybe three quarters of an eye

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: on twenty twenty seven. But there's a lot to play

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: out this year. And as you were saying before, where

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 4: do you find the marginal gains where some of the

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 4: easy avenues.

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 5: Have been cut off?

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: I think that's what er I thanks for. Today's guest

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: is going to help us out with it is And.

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: Before we get into that, we just want to say

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: a big thank you as.

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: Always to Shannon's Insurance for sponsoring this episode. But returning

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: once again to the Pittok Podcast is a technical wizard,

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: as he was formerly referred to as in his latest

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: episode on the Oxley Bomb Podcast, mister Peter Bomb. Peter,

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: welcome back and long time no see because we saw

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: each other in Sapain a few weeks ago.

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 5: Yep, thanks for asking me again. It's a pleasure to

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 5: be here and I'm just happy to help you guys

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: out and talk about multitude technology. You could wake me

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 5: up anytime for doing that, so.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: I love it.

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, Matt, Well, we were scorching in sepain, you

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: were freezing in New York, but I still think I'd

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: rather have been at Spaine sweating. When I hear those

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: motor GP bikes start in the morning, there's no better

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: sound than that.

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, no motor GP happening in New York. The only

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: thing that was happening in New York was snowplaows for

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks there. But yeah, it's the it's

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: the beginning of It's the best time of the year

55
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: preseason testing, because you know, there's the phony war that's

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: going on. Who's developing, who's not, who's you know, who's sambagging,

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: who's playing games. We finally start to get some answers

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: this weekend at Burhan. But we've had two pretty interesting

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: tests and maybe not quite the pecking order that we

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: thought coming in because there's different manufacturers that are coming

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 4: up against some different problems. Fabio Corduro's body language would

62
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: probably tell you with what's going on with Yamaha at

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: the moment.

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yamaha is definitely a talking point, and I think

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: we're gonna save that one. Let's let's wait, let's let's

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: leave everybody hooked on the edge for him, and it's

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: like a good movie here. Let's start at the top

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: and for me, I feel like I want to start

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: with a Prillier because what we saw and what me

70
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: and Peter spoke about in Spain.

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: It felt like a Prillier looked really strong early on.

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: It felt like they found something straight away, they were

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: good to go, and then they were in to put

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: the lapse. Now we know coming into Boyram, this is

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: a track that seemed to suit some of.

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: The A Prillier riders last year.

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: It's the first time we've seen Juge Martin back on

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: the bike. Iagura was this magician here last year and

79
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: then seemed to fade out through about the rest of

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: the year. But we've seen Bears strongth from the get go,

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: as well as Raoul Fernandez. Peter, what have you seen

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: from a Prilliers apart from some funny looking arrow on

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: the tail unit?

84
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to. It's quite it's quite ReSpectacle that

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: watching an a prelliermotorg fed Bui because it's so weird,

86
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: it's so prototype, it's so special. I love it from

87
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: a technical point of view, but see it has nothing

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: to do with the normal motorbike as we thought we

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 5: knew it. But yeah, it works, it does the trick.

90
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 5: They're very very clever. Yeah, you start with the one

91
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 5: I was expecting you to start with the one we

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: all expect to to to to rule the championship again,

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 5: to cut it, but let's start with a pretty because

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 5: I'm really really uh and to just buy what I

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: prilly have done. So they closed for me. They closed

96
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 5: the gap to the Gatti, I think completely. And they

97
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: did it with just one rider, which is unbelievable because

98
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: the strength of the Gatti, as we all know, is

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: having input from a lot of riders. I'm working very

100
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 5: very cleverly with all the them, but they have just

101
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: one because the other one sabotage his career all year.

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 5: Is only good in was only good in the beginning

103
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 5: of the especially Yeah, but wasn't able to give a

104
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: lot of proper feedback. But Oftenandless is not known for

105
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: giving any proper feedback at all, So it was it's

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: down to one right. It means this engineers there in

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: no Wala, they very very deeply understand what they're doing,

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: so they can develop a bike, improve it, improve on

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: it with with just one rider's input, which in all

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: respect I got in mind might work here a little bit.

111
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: It's not an alien. It's probably going to be the

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 5: world champion this year, don't I'm not surprised if he is.

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: But he's not an alien. So yeah, heads off to

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: a pretty big big time because they they improved without

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: any downside on it, which is very very hard on

116
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 5: the current level. Emotig you found something here, ah shit,

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 5: one week later we learned we lost something over there.

118
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: Sapang is very very different from from Budiram and on

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 5: both tracks they are just completely there, unbelievably impressed by

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: a prelioge performance of or they will be there all

121
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: year back. I mean he's a weird guy. I mean,

122
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: here's a character, but he's also such a talent. As

123
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: soon as he gets his ship together, which he seemed

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: to be now he's immediately flying, showing how good the

125
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: bake is. You give him a good bake, you give

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: him a little bit of pressure and said go for

127
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 5: one lap, and the guy is amazing, amazing. So where

128
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: he come from, I mean, he did a lot of

129
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 5: things wrong himself list year, but still he's such a

130
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: talent and if he gets his share together, and Aprelier

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 5: as always been very very kind to friendly with him,

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 5: he's he's going to probably have a super sip good area,

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: which is not thanks to him. I need to see.

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: It's interesting, Peter, like you both mentioned that that you know,

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 4: some teams, some manufacturers take time to warm up through

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: the preseason, and these guys were just on it from

137
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 4: the moment that Sepang started, and the level has it's

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: certainly not dipped, it's just slightly methodically risen the whole

139
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: way through these two tests. What do you put that

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: down to, Peter, because you mentioned before that you know

141
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: Marco Berzeki's in a position with this manufacturer that I

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: don't think they hired Beds to be this. I don't

143
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: think there's win there. I don't think there's went there

144
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: to be this. But because of this weird because of

145
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: this weird set of circumstances with Jujai Martin, almost this

146
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: like perfect sort of alchemy has happened between the rider

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: and the team and the technical direction, and it's maybe

148
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: taken them to a higher ceiling than they might have

149
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: got otherwise.

150
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: That's a super good explanation because that that's what happened

151
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 5: with him as a rider. It's not like I didn't

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 5: wade him. He was I think he was thirty in

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: his first year in multiply rookie of the year, so yeah,

154
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: he could do something. But then the next year on

155
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: a difficult d Gatti, he struggled more. He struggled hugely,

156
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 5: a lot. It was a difficult model year of Dugatti

157
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: he had, but he struggled a lot and then a

158
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: pretty a choshi. They chose him to be the second

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 5: rider behind the guy that was supposed to lead for them,

160
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: and then didn't do that horamat In. But this almost

161
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: perfect It turned out to be like a perfect storm

162
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: for him. He grew so much with the confidence they

163
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 5: gave him. He just got better under that pressure and

164
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: and very very calm and took us time to learn

165
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: if we got back just one year, but he was

166
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 5: because he didn't have the best range we can in

167
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: the first half of the year was not great from Marco.

168
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: But where we are now, what a different guy it is.

169
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: It's so interesting to see how radus can it's almost

170
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: exploding instead of growing a couple of months. Becomes so

171
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 5: much better if you put them in a certain set

172
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 5: of circumstances. Yeah, Marco is probably a hope for everyone

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: who struggles a little bit bitter because when everything when

174
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 5: all the ducks are in a row, it can it

175
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: can a lot can happen.

176
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 4: And the funny thing renated for me. I was just

177
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: going to add just real quick. And we talked about

178
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 4: this last time we had Peter on. I know Massimo

179
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: Riveler from his F one days, and I know the

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: type of I know the type of man manager he is,

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: and the thing I like about watching that team operate

182
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: is that he is the figurehead, as he's supposed to be,

183
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: but he allows the people to do their jobs in

184
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: their position of expertise. So everyone's coming at their work

185
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: from a position of belief and confidence. And Peter's here

186
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: to talk about the technical side of things. I'm going

187
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: to just channel vibes here because that's my specialty. But

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: there's something about watching the way that team works that

189
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: you're not surprised that it's working, and I think a

190
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: lot of that comes from the top. I love the

191
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: way he manages this group. Even when everything was going

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: terribly last year with Jje Martin, he had every reason

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: to react in a very different way and didn't. I

194
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: thought that was super interesting because of what it meant

195
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: in the moment but also the message that sent to

196
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: the rest of that team, and I just really they're

197
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 4: obviously not a massive organization compared to some of them,

198
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: but talk about getting the most out of what they've got.

199
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: I think that starts with him at the very top.

200
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: You nailed it completely, Dawn, mate. You nailed it completely

201
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: up to the point that I was thinking, hmm, well,

202
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: I mean somewhere deep inside, it must have hurt a lot,

203
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 5: because they stood up for every time he fucked up again,

204
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 5: and they every time raised that had yet it's probably

205
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: our fould Probably our faults. We sent you out again

206
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: with the medium tie. It was not was you know,

207
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 5: he hurts himself in a supermoto accident when it's zero degrees,

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: So sorry, we will. They always said, no, no, no, you

209
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: are with us, You are with it. I mean, that's

210
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: what you mean. But he himself turned in the middle

211
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 5: of the season his back to them, say ah, by

212
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: the way, I'm going to Homna and now okay, we're

213
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 5: going ahead a little bit of it. So he's a character.

214
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: But they managed him very very well. And yeah, like

215
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 5: you said, they that's super super clever because you can't

216
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: change what happened, and you have to deal a couple

217
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: of more months of years even with your team, so

218
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 5: better support them. But deep deep inside he has done

219
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: some pain in Auprelia. But yeah, they managed that team

220
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: very very well, they seem, and that they seem you

221
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 5: don't notice that it's actually very small factory. You don't

222
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: notice it because they have everything started. So yeah, again

223
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: you'd a lot of a lot of praise for them

224
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: for the atmosphere. And this is actually the team that

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: until not that long ago, was to work in the box.

226
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 5: Sometimes I had my question mark over the decision making

227
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 5: in the box during the weekends, but they could easily

228
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 5: have one super good race and then the next weekend

229
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 5: when they couldn't find the way on Friday morning, they

230
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: never found it all weekend, which was a bit of

231
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: a end. They had a little bit too many like

232
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 5: silly little bad luck things and at some point it's

233
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: not just bad luck that it's just you know, pike

234
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 5: that go out of the pit box and then alfa

235
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 5: halvep it stops that shouldn't happen, And these little simple

236
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 5: things happened a little bit too much until recently at Aprilia.

237
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 5: But step by step they are there completely ready to

238
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: fight for the championship with another riders. They were expecting

239
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: it to do well.

240
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: That's the thing I wanted to bring up just before

241
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: is we saw the announcement of Marco re signing with

242
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: A twenty twenty seven, one of the first official ones

243
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: to come out. Do you think this year is Marco

244
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: Petzeki going to be the one who can challenge Mark

245
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Markeev for the championship?

246
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: Yes, straight on the.

247
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: Money there.

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 5: He will. I expect him to do it because first

249
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: of all, Marco, let's start. Let's start by Mark mcas.

250
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: He's vulnerable. He's more vulnerable than ever because if nothing

251
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: goes wrong with Mark, I put my little money that

252
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: I that I have on his championship. But he's vulnerable,

253
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: so be careful there. Marco Bzeki seems to be not

254
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 5: vulnerable at all. He can accept Okay, this is P seven.

255
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 5: That's it for today. I had a shit start, or

256
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: I'm stuck behind somebody, that's it. He doesn't do any

257
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: emotionally and you know a little bit silly pressure mistakes

258
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 5: or decisions. He's calm and calm springs Championship because you

259
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: win on your bad days, not on your good day,

260
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: the good days will be there with you really are.

261
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: So I'm not saying he's going to be world champion,

262
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: but he's he's like him and Pakawa for me, the

263
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 5: guys that that will have the best chance shortly after Mike,

264
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: and probably because if so, then it's because Mark did

265
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: something which he showed us like yesterday, in the day

266
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 5: before yesterday. It's very very capable of doing and repeating

267
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: that this weekend again doing something silly and then stopping

268
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: his own his own chances. Mark doesn't bound so well

269
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: as he did when he was young, but he kept

270
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 5: on crashing. He did three crashes and the first one

271
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: was super silly and seriously fast. He was still just

272
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: fully upright when he lost it. He was he went

273
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 5: through his letters completely, which you don't often see him ootijip,

274
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 5: so that was a biggie. Unfortunately he didn't start to

275
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 5: tumble because if he tumbles now with his shoulder on

276
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: his age, ah, you need to be lucky to again

277
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 5: walk away like he did all his life. The habit

278
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: is really deep in the character there to immediately go

279
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: to the limit, go over the limit, see what happens.

280
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 5: Normally he saves it, and I learned from that. Hmm.

281
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 5: So he's still the fastest for me on the best bike,

282
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 5: but he's vulnerable and if you're if something goes wrong,

283
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 5: it's it's out of Michael Bozeki. You're back on at

284
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 5: that gym point, and probably is broller as well, but

285
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 5: it's brother want fight him that hard?

286
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: Well that's a that's a separate podcast pleader, isn't it.

287
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: But you've said, yeah, yeah, you've segued us quite nicely

288
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: into Decati because the question I think we're all wanting

289
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: after last year, because I mean I got sick of

290
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: writing about it. You probably got sick of talking about it.

291
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: Is is this a GP twenty five? Is it a

292
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: twenty four? Is it a twenty four point one? Is

293
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: it a twenty six point zero? What is this thing?

294
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: So this year it's twenty twenty six, we know they've

295
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: got the engine frozen. What arrow are they going to use?

296
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: Because we know they came to the first test with

297
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 4: something and then they started testing something else like this

298
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster of a bike.

299
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: Now we've got to this last year of the regulation set,

300
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: So what exactly is the factory team going to run

301
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: this year.

302
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: Ah, very very two doy twenty four. They didn't know

303
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 5: how good two twenty four what's actually until they started

304
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: to try to improve the ruin. It made it to

305
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. So they were so lucky that the

306
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four engine was homologated. They are so lucky

307
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: at the Cuddy they have so many engines in different

308
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 5: team that the twenty four engine is they can backpedal

309
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: on their engine or the manufacturers could cannot, so they can.

310
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 5: They're they're for me that that that's the thing. They

311
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 5: went back to the twenty twenty four engine and use

312
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: some of the things that grew good or not twenty five.

313
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: But the twenty five bike was very very difficult. So yeah,

314
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 5: they have their They didn't make a new bike, and

315
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: especially when you look at the arrow. That was the

316
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 5: interesting thing from this test again. The first day in

317
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: Sapunk they had some dramatically new front faring looks like

318
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 5: KTM and Aprilia now has as well. They had something

319
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 5: similar and after half day we never saw it again.

320
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: They are now the only choice they basically have to

321
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: make now this week for what errow they will homologate

322
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: is between twenty twenty four twenty five. It's quite likely

323
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four all the best laps we're done in

324
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four. Arrow so, and it's also a sign

325
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: of I think it's a sign of how much had

326
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: of the world, of the rest of the world. Tagutti isvent.

327
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 5: It's about Arrow. They already had something very very good

328
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five, then tried a little bit left

329
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 5: now right, Oh, easy spoiled. We can't get any better

330
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 5: with As long as bikes have this dimension that's hit unbelievable,

331
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 5: everybody else is to throwing parts at it to really

332
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: surprise that something doesn't work or works a lot better

333
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: at than everything. And d Gutti already oight on the

334
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: top of the pyramid. That's it. That's it for Arrow

335
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 5: unbelievea case.

336
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: So the logical step from that question then is if

337
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: we're thinking that Ducaddi is more twenty twenty four spec

338
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: du Catti, what does that do for the rider hierarchy there?

339
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: Because we saw Alex Marquez have the best season of

340
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: his Murder VP career last year, and a season that

341
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: we probably never really saw coming because he was, as

342
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: it turned out, riding the best model of the Ducatti

343
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: on the grid. You could almost say that Mark won

344
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: the championship maybe in spite of what he was riding

345
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: last year, not because of it. And we saw Peco

346
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: just the most baffling season of all time. So if

347
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 4: they're all we're assuming on very very similar spect bikes. Now,

348
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: if they're going back to this twenty twenty four, what

349
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: do you think that does for the rider dynamic? How

350
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: far ahead is marked? And then this whole Peco Alex

351
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: thing last year that was probably different to the way

352
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: all of us thought it was going to turn out.

353
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: Do you see that maybe going back towards Banyai this

354
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: year simply because he's got something that he can believe in.

355
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'm going to make it complicated. Still, I

356
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 5: still think that twenty twenty five was not a bad bike.

357
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 5: It got a bad bike for normal people. Normal people

358
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: like really good guys that can be world champion in

359
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 5: AFRIC class except moment, but it's still below Mark macass

360
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: That was Yes, they didn't took off wrong turn from

361
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five to twenty twenty five. Indicati, they just

362
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: made a step too much because they do a lot

363
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: with Ai. They do a lot with taking out emotions,

364
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: just facts, facts, facts. But in twenty twenty four they

365
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 5: also saw a lot of new data comming from another

366
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 5: guy on a twenty three Ducati that is like dangerous

367
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 5: data to feed into a system. But part of that

368
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: data led to the twenty twenty five bike, and the

369
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 5: result was for me not a bad bike, but the

370
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 5: bike that was even for Mark difficult to ride, but

371
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: when he was riding it it was better. It was

372
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 5: the best, but only for him, with all his concentration

373
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 5: and everything, it was even better than the twenty twenty four.

374
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: For everybody else was a disaster. It gives so little

375
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 5: and weird feedback that they couldn't get a head around it,

376
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: and then lost their heads so they backpedaled a little

377
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 5: bit as a result. As a result, it will be

378
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 5: like relatively easier for everybody to go just as fast

379
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 5: from very very close to Mark. Mark has less areas

380
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 5: now to make the difference. And at the same time,

381
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 5: like I said, he's he appears to me really vulnerable

382
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: since that crash with bark Obseki last year and the

383
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 5: way he looked. He looks suddenly older and tired and

384
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 5: keeps crashing, so everybody. I expect to cut the The

385
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: ducats are have improved a little bit and they're all

386
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 5: more closer to all the riders will be closer to

387
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: each other, having more chances, which if you're clever with

388
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: s Mark is could be in adventures for him because

389
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 5: they're stealing points from each other. But if he bounces

390
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: one time too many, it's gone interesting.

391
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: I want to go to the other side of the

392
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: factory G Catty team for a second and talk about

393
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: Pecker because it seems like we've seen a switch or

394
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: something change.

395
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, Pecker seems back. Now.

396
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to like jinx him and I don't

397
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 3: want to jump ahead.

398
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: But in Sepang we heard positive things. But what's been

399
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: the outcome from the buyram test.

400
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: Is is this positive?

401
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: Is this trajectory that he's on going to stick around? Peter,

402
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: do you think he's he's back?

403
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: Well, what happened last year was so weirded back or

404
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 5: so we all have to be very very careful. But

405
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 5: if it was any other situation, you will be one

406
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 5: hundred percentual each back. But it's beco and we've seen

407
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 5: last year, so I'm going to be a little bit careful,

408
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 5: but Nina, no, I'm ninety nine percent suries back because

409
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: I remember the first day last year in the Sapunk test,

410
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 5: he and Mark came up to the media center and

411
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 5: they both looked worried, especially Peco. This is we are fast,

412
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 5: but it's a weird bike and it doesn't stop very well.

413
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 5: It doesn't give me the concept the first word he said,

414
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 5: and he kept repeating it all year long. The bike

415
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 5: never became a lot better. So and now he comes

416
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 5: back after the first day. You were there as well

417
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 5: as said, whoa, whoa, Okay, this is okay. Now you

418
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: can't make that up. You don't make that up. I

419
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 5: heard from people that know him quite well, and they

420
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 5: told me things that were not surprisingly, but like, you

421
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 5: really don't want any changes. When he's the type of

422
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: guy that you give him something, don't touch it, give

423
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 5: him all the time to get used to it. Then

424
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: he extracts everything from that package. Don't go the next

425
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: race and change the right height again, or put another

426
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: right eye system or another spring in his front falk

427
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 5: because even when it might be in might be theoretically

428
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: about it, but debill cost him too much time to

429
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: get used to it. He hates changes, very conservative gay.

430
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: It's interesting though, because he said last year a couple

431
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: of times that he said, I'm not the most adaptable rider,

432
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 4: which is you know, you know, we knew that, but

433
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 4: it's something for someone to admit that in the moment.

434
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 4: And the thing I always think with Peco is that

435
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 4: the sweet spot is really really narrow, but when he

436
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 4: gets himself in it, he can just churning. We saw

437
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 4: it in twenty three and twenty four. He can just

438
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: churn out races where it feels like there's no one

439
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 4: else there and he's racing basically against himself because he

440
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: can be so good when he's in that narrow sweet spot.

441
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: And last year he fell into the sweet spot in Motegi,

442
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: and he fell into the sweet spot in Malaysia to

443
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: an extent, and the rest of the time he couldn't

444
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: see it with a telescope. He's all over the place.

445
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 4: And so if this bike is more forgiving this year

446
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: and he can get himself back into that happy place,

447
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: then yeah, I can absolutely see where.

448
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: He's going to be.

449
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: But what is that sweet spot? What is it that

450
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: he's needing from the bike? Is it front end feeling

451
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: or confidence there is that where he was.

452
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: It's front end, which is so understandable, which is so

453
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 5: understandable if any team that has a reasonable or a

454
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: good level asked me to come in as a consultant

455
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: and speak with the either and see the results. Sometimes

456
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 5: I do it jokingly because I always know when I

457
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: make a joke and say I know already what's going

458
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 5: to be your problem, and then they're all like, oh

459
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 5: really yeah, because and it's so easy to say it's

460
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: not because it's because that is the what is the

461
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: scariest part of racing a motorpike. It's going into the

462
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 5: corner with a lot of brake pressure. Because when that's

463
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 5: when you overdo that, it goes so fucking fast, it's

464
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 5: flick and you're on your ass and you hurt yourself.

465
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: And while mid corner, like the two crashes that that

466
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: Mark made this weekend, are just simple. You know, there

467
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: are no surprises. You're already fighting that that's front end

468
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 5: going white white, White's thinking you save it safe, it saved.

469
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 5: Oh no, just let's go and when we are accelerating

470
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 5: over the rear. Electronics helps you a lot, give you

471
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: a lot of feedback when you crash over the rear.

472
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 5: You really need elected all the signals and try and

473
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: thinking you were a lot better than you really are,

474
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 5: but then you really did something against all the warnings.

475
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 5: But going into corners with a super amount of brake

476
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: pressure and having all that pressure on your front tire

477
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: while it's already leaning a lot. When it lets go there,

478
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: it's usually super super fast, and that costs you confidence

479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: because that's also where all the time is. Thirty percent

480
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 5: of the lap time they are on the brakes, so

481
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 5: there's a lot more time to be gained during breaking

482
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 5: than an acceleration because they're not thirty percent of the

483
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 5: time of all gas. I can tell you that the

484
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: three hundred doorge power, So that's where all the lab

485
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 5: time is. Bikes don't stop, look at cash cash, hit

486
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 5: the brake, it start to turn in. Bikes hit the brakes,

487
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 5: sit there forever and then start to turn in. Bikes

488
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 5: don't stop. Because the center grafty is quite high. It's

489
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 5: a short motorbike, it real immediately topple over. So the

490
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 5: guy that starts to break later is not the guy

491
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: that breaks more effectively in the straight line. Usually it's

492
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 5: the guy that can turn in with a lot of

493
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 5: brake pressure. Someone you know. You have to look at

494
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 5: some of the pictures I think I posted one one

495
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 5: or two weeks ago from the Punk. Zarko turned into

496
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: the super slow turned nine in the Punk and he

497
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: had already his knee on the ground and the fork

498
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: was still on the bottom. That's an unbelievable amount of

499
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 5: pressure you have on your front tie theret a lot,

500
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 5: a lot of confidence, and if you overdo that a

501
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 5: little bit at that moment is just what and you're gone.

502
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 5: So at that slow speed corner, it doesn't hurt you,

503
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 5: it's just you found you look for the faster corners.

504
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: Bo can be scary. If that happens a couple of times,

505
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 5: then you don't lose one or two tenths, then you're

506
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: immediately looking at half a second. Yeah, and it takes

507
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 5: a lot of time to get that back. Remember that

508
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 5: Packer was also he never wanted this longer front fork

509
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 5: from lands, and then when he struggled forever, he went

510
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 5: into the longer ones and as soon as he had

511
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 5: an okay feeling went back to he doesn't want any changes.

512
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 5: If it was up to him, we will still be

513
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 5: riding in twenty twenty chap bike over there, you know,

514
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: really something that it was used to. But yeah, you

515
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: know we're now sorry, I said better not probably what

516
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 5: you're also meaning when he said we have to be

517
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: careful is he's been fast and spunk even last year packo.

518
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: So having a good feeling there in the test doesn't

519
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 5: probably mean everything was it. It was not last year,

520
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 5: but the year before when he did something super super

521
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: brave in Burdhi Ram as well into the last lap

522
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: trying to outbreak everybody over the curbs there. I mean,

523
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: she she, It's not an easy track to overtake, but

524
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 5: he at least gave it everything. So yeah, nearly nearly

525
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 5: made it work there would have made him immortal and

526
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 5: that would have been the classic movie. He just didn't

527
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: do it. But yeah, he so that track shoots him.

528
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: It's it's too early. But then nah no, I really

529
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: hope I'm not screwing hisself.

530
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: And now that goes back, that goes back, and I

531
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: like Jason at the moment, right, I think as well.

532
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 5: He's such a gentleman. You have to love Paco even

533
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: more when he struggled, because everybody can be a win

534
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: and then be very generous and have a lot of

535
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 5: attention for it. No, no, no, it's when they don't win,

536
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: and he did not win a lot last year. He's

537
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: such a gentleman, you know, and he kept me so

538
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 5: honestly he feels I mean, it's almost like painful to

539
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 5: be close to him with your recorder and listen having

540
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: to ask him question because you see it hurts. But

541
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 5: he's open. He doesn't he's put the shield around him

542
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 5: because I'm in trouble, which I will fully understand, but no,

543
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 5: the doors are open. I'm hurting.

544
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: Well, you're right, there's there's something. He's very authentic, I

545
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: think is the word that.

546
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 5: I used to him.

547
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 4: And you're right, like when you when you're sitting there

548
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 4: listening to him talking minute detail about just how dreadful

549
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: everything's been and how down on confidence he is, like

550
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 4: you need someone to come and give him a hug.

551
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: It's actually sad to listen to a lot of the

552
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: time because he is big, so honest about it all.

553
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 4: But related, we've talked about a parlier in J CADDI

554
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: so far, which is clearly one or two of whatever

555
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: order you want to be. And I'm really interested to

556
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 4: see Peter's response here when we ask him who's next

557
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: in the pecking order? Is it Honda or is it KTM,

558
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 4: because KTM is almost two different questions. There's a Pedro

559
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 4: Acosta KTM and there's everyone else KTM. So who is

560
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 4: in your mind paid next in that pecking order based

561
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: on what you've seen in testing.

562
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 5: And already said it there?

563
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's a cost room.

564
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 5: But don't have an alien. There's only three aliens. Hold

565
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: don't have an alien, and they're all, okay, that bike

566
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 5: there is there. That bike's already that's guy's stars are

567
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 5: looking at it if they think for the next year.

568
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 5: This year still has to start, but we're all speaking

569
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: about the next year. Where everybody wants to go. You

570
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: want to go to Honda because they have the momentum.

571
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: They went in the deepest, lowest point possible and but

572
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 5: went back up and they really have some momentum coming

573
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: now and they're working in a good way. There's no

574
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: luck at Honda. They know what they're doing and they're

575
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 5: working super hard. They're reacting very hard. They build a

576
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 5: solid base and they know also when to stop experimenting

577
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: because they know or very since valentialized. They're on a

578
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 5: super good level and it's so easy to screw it

579
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 5: up now, so it only makes a minor small changes.

580
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: Look a Marina is very very bond for them in

581
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 5: that area. And Maria's just it's an emotional racing animal

582
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 5: that will prove what's possible be the bike if it's

583
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 5: good enough and if you forget to crash and Zarko

584
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: does his Sarko think says a couple of times makes

585
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: his all chair and I'm very happy. But you can't

586
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: rely on him. So they need an alien. And so

587
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 5: they're walking around through the big Shack book for an

588
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: alien because the bikes already for an alien.

589
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: But isn't that interesting though, because you rewind twelve months,

590
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 4: they absolutely were not ready for an alien. There was

591
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: no point them having an alien. They didn't have a

592
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: machine for So what's change? I mean this it feels

593
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: like this has changed really quite quickly. I mean, I

594
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: know it's been a gradual burn over the last twelve months,

595
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: but it wasn't that long ago that they were You

596
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: remember the Japanese cup at the back of the pack.

597
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 4: We used to talk about all the time. They were

598
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: just hopeless towards the bag and the fact they haven't

599
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: had the alien And you said before, you've got the

600
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: the analytical mind of Luca Marini, who loves to explain

601
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: things in minute. And then you've got Juan Mier who

602
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: will ride a bike within in each of its and

603
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 4: probably over it to try and find out where the

604
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 4: limit is, like almost stumbled across. Like the perfect combination

605
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: of personalities to bring that bike forward.

606
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they brought in these personalities and Romino Abushano

607
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 5: and Elizas Pargo and his school year. Yeah, because something

608
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: bigger has changed in Japan in my opinion, that's that's

609
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 5: the only way I can explain it on the HC.

610
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 5: Just like most of the Japanese company are super conservative,

611
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: so they hate They're like Packo, there's something in common.

612
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: They hate changes. So we did things in a certain way,

613
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: we keep doing them in a certain way. And they

614
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 5: completely lost the speed of development. And then know how,

615
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 5: in the years with Mark, it was only when Mark

616
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: not suffered, but when Mark said, please, how much money

617
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 5: you have to give you that I can go back

618
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: to write another motorbike for free, that shock went so

619
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 5: deep in home the HG that something really deep suddenly

620
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: started to change and they give some of the leadership

621
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: away to European techniques that are ahead of the game.

622
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: Reacted Quicker stopped a lot playing the safe thing because

623
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 5: now Home does blowing up engines left or right? Can

624
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 5: you believe that Homda blowing up engines? And don't mind

625
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 5: this is unbelievable, but it is, I mean in your

626
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: country too. On the start finished straight. Now that's the thing. Eh,

627
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 5: So they really changed. But for me that that could

628
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: be almost only because they saw Mark running away. That

629
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: was enough. That was like, okay, there's a lot of

630
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 5: singles we are behind. But if even Mark walks away,

631
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: we either stop, which they were probably very close to.

632
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: All we do is probably in Asa she is mighty.

633
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 5: When Asa she really wants, they can do everything. They

634
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 5: can go to the moon next week. It's unbelievable. And

635
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 5: now in Yama, I think something similar is happening. When

636
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 5: it comes down when really Fabio is gonna tell the

637
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: world next week, two three weeks, how guys, that's it?

638
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 5: Then probably something will change big enough because what they

639
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 5: have changed that Yama is not enough to give a

640
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 5: lot of leadership. They bought a lot of Europeans, they

641
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 5: bring a lot of people to Europe, but apparently somewhere

642
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: in Japan or in the whole chain. I think it's

643
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: in Japan. There is still a huge bottleneck which delays everybody.

644
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 5: I'm so disappointed in Yama has speed of development so

645
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 5: and that's not a lack of no just like it

646
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 5: never was a lack of nohow or possibilities in Asac.

647
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 5: That's the same with Yama. It's just like a culture

648
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 5: of problem, another technical problem. To change the culture is

649
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 5: harder than to change the crank at firing order.

650
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, Peter, I wanted to ask you.

651
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: Last year we saw a clear difference between Soaker and

652
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: then the factory Hondas.

653
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: But now it seems like rolls are reverse.

654
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: When we're seeing Zaker struggling to feel comfortable on the

655
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 2: bike and we're seeing the other two excel.

656
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: What's going on there?

657
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: What's happening with that? Yes?

658
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 5: Ka was interesting, eh. And it's the only guy that

659
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 5: already has a contract for next year. Well that's another podcast.

660
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: But I don't know if he has any friends. But

661
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 5: if everybody is happy with the bike, he's not happy

662
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 5: with the bike. And if everybody hates it, he puts

663
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 5: it on the podium. So he's good in your team

664
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: because he has a different opinion and shows that in

665
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: a different way, there are also results possible. But yeah,

666
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 5: it's really really very he's never done enough when he

667
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: was on the factory, the cuttish in Brahmak. But just

668
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 5: when you say, oh, let's forget about the guy, he

669
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: wins it actually in your country, correct or he puts

670
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: it somewhere else on the pot. You know it's and

671
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: it's a very interesting guy. But he has something in

672
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: common with Peco. When you listen to him. He he's

673
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 5: not waiting or expecting a lot from the bike. He

674
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 5: wants the bike to not change a lot, and then

675
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 5: work on himself, on himself, on himself, because he knows

676
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 5: that if he gets in the groove and find his zone,

677
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: a lot, a lot, a lot is possible. So he's

678
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 5: very careful with his scrooge if not to change too much.

679
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 5: It's probably more in me. It's in me, it's in me.

680
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 5: But when it doesn't come from him, then they and

681
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 5: he expects them or hope that they push the right

682
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 5: button and do the right click, and then he tries again.

683
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 5: He's not a guy that you can give a new

684
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 5: arrow sat every thirty minutes and then go out and

685
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 5: see if it's better or not, because you just try

686
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 5: him completely. So he's very important because of all of

687
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 5: his experience and of his different approach to how to

688
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 5: make the lap time. It's probably not the best development, right,

689
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: I mean, riders don't develop the bike, but still or

690
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 5: rather feedback, especially on the level of Luco Marini, is important.

691
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: So you just said they're not the best development rider,

692
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: which is the perfect segue for my next question, Peter,

693
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: because you mentioned that they need an alien, and it

694
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: looks like they're about to get one. Are they getting

695
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 4: the right alien, Because if there's one thing we know

696
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: about Fabio Couaduro, well there's two things. He can extract

697
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 4: pole positions that you can analyze or he could just

698
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: laugh at because it's just so fun to watch someone

699
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: nearly crashing on every single quarter and getting a pole

700
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 4: position out of a bike. But Fabio's reputation is of

701
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: a guy who is, shall we say, not the greatest

702
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 4: developer of a motorcycle and probably not the most patient either.

703
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 4: So they need an alien. But if they got the

704
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: right one.

705
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 5: No, no, they should have had a costa. Yeah, of course,

706
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: he will fit the Bible Saw a lot better because

707
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 5: it's not a of Coursta. Will will have a big

708
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: challenge on his hands when he goes to Dugati because

709
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 5: to learn to write Dugatti fast is not easy. It's

710
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 5: not easy. You have to overrule all your racing instincts

711
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 5: that you learned from since the first time you went

712
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 5: into wheels. Everything is different from the Dugatti, so they should.

713
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 5: I think a Costa will be better fit for Honda,

714
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 5: but for for whatever reason, of course, had his mindset

715
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: completely under Dukatti, and I mean credits to him. He

716
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 5: probably will have zero salary there, but he chooses to

717
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 5: go there, so I mean we all think he goes there.

718
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 5: So yeah. But then on the other hand, a Costa,

719
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 5: we call him an alien for a couple of years,

720
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 5: but he has not won one motagiped race. He has

721
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: thrown away a couple of options that were really on

722
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 5: the table. So the guy has been up and down,

723
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 5: and I think mostly thanks to AKII, we didn't lost

724
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 5: it completely. The payroll course that now comes to the

725
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 5: press room, it's a thirty five year old warrior that

726
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: has seen everything in super calm. Instead of an eighty

727
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 5: year old kid that only wants to say fuck and

728
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 5: big balls and then goes out and either win or

729
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 5: put it in the gravel trap. What the change has

730
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 5: he made in half a year? Unbelievable, unbelievable, really really good.

731
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, what you get with Fabia Quarradu is a

732
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 5: lot of emotions. Uh, but you also get a super

733
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 5: amount of talent because this was not the greatest five

734
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 5: year shorty show last week. And this is hard to see,

735
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 5: but I can tell you one thing for sure. If

736
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 5: someday the light goes out, he gives it all. If

737
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 5: he goes out for Q one and he knows he's

738
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 5: never going to go to Q two, he will give

739
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 5: it all. So in a way they have a good alien.

740
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: If the bike is anywhere near okay, he's like Joe

741
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 5: a mere point two, you know, a better mirror. Ways,

742
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: why is it clothes? We give everything and he has

743
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 5: a lot more to give the ye a lot more so, Yeah,

744
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 5: for development and for peace in that side of the

745
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 5: box and harmony. I'm not so sure about har you.

746
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 5: But he also can turn around quickly. He doesn't better grunch,

747
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's going to be a handful to handle it.

748
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 5: All better preach. Now, that's a challenge. I can see

749
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 5: that's coming because everybody loves our better preach except the journalist.

750
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 5: But have a huge respective because he stands there for

751
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 5: the right. You know, see what happens in Honda when

752
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 5: when he's there A yeah.

753
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 4: So that's a that's a reality TV series. We need

754
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: to see the reality TV series. Those are the lives

755
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 4: of Fabio and Alberto for sure.

756
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 2: Hey guys, Honda Social Media and marketing team definitely get

757
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 2: onto that.

758
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: We'll take some commissioner for the idea.

759
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 3: He'll that you mentioned there.

760
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: Before we go into everything else, I want to talk

761
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: about KTM because once again we're seeing this clear difference

762
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: that Matt you said before. We're seeing the Pedro show

763
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 2: and then we're seeing the rest of them. But one

764
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 2: thing that I heard and I wanted some clarification on

765
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: this is that it seems like the Katms.

766
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Are starting to understand this rich shatter.

767
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: They're starting to like tire life isn't so much of

768
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: a worry for them this year in Pedro also seems

769
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: like he's way more confident coming into this season than last. Peter,

770
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: What's to go with this? This chatter in this retire

771
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: How have they managed that?

772
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, two years, which is more than one year too much.

773
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 5: They struggled a lot with the chatter from the super

774
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 5: crippy Ray Michelin writers in Sapang. There's a couple of

775
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: condresses Upang where you know if it's still there, it

776
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 5: will be here, and it was not there, so they

777
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 5: were being very carefully optimistic. More and more there were

778
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 5: a lot of new parts, seriously different new pats, a

779
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 5: lot more than I expected from and manufactured at one

780
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 5: year ago. We've thought properly doesn't even exist anymore. So

781
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 5: Sapan was really good here. I'm yeah, I'm not impressed.

782
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 5: I see that they still have more problems than I

783
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 5: was hoping them to see. The thing is in Buddy

784
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 5: Ram we have a very special rear tire that we

785
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 5: only get two three times a year. I think we

786
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: get in the red butt ring. We get it in

787
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 5: Budi Ram. There's probably one other track which is a

788
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 5: super real one that's a super way tired. As soon

789
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: as the bike gets more or less upright, it has

790
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 5: just no crip because it has super extra hard carcass

791
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 5: in the middle because of all the temperatures and all

792
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 5: the slipping and all the manufacturers learned to deal with it.

793
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: KTM never and apparently also not now. So what I'm

794
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 5: saying is that Sapang was for me more than real KTM.

795
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 5: But they will have they will have to raise for

796
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 5: the punch this weekend, and it's going to be really

797
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 5: really hard for them. But then we go to a

798
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 5: new track, to a normal track with probably normal tires,

799
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: and then we will see the sapunk KTM back. I

800
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 5: think I'm pretty sure Katie made a step that's not

801
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 5: good enough to bring them as a manufacturer up the

802
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: level of Honda. But thanks to our Costa, they will

803
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 5: still be Homda regularly because they have a Costa.

804
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 4: Ronita. We are thirty eightish minutes into this podcast, and

805
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 4: other than a quick drive by on Yamaha, we haven't

806
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: really talked about them yet, and I do have my

807
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: concerns that Yamaha might be about thirty eight seconds off

808
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 4: the win at some of these tracks with the way

809
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: things are going. Peter, you mentioned before that the rate

810
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: of progress is the disappointing aspect of what Yamaha is doing.

811
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 4: That there is progress, but it's just super super super slow.

812
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 4: What positives, if any can we take out of the

813
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 4: preseason from Yamaha, Because the good news for Australian fans

814
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: Jack Miller was the fastest Yamaha and all the tests

815
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 4: that all the Burro and the bad news was that

816
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: he was like fourteenth or something and the rest of

817
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 4: them were absolutely nowhere and the top rack situation quite

818
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 4: I'm not super surprised because as accomplished as he is

819
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 4: three Superbike World Champion, he's still a twenty nine year

820
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 4: old by the GP rookie who's never written.

821
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 5: On these tires before.

822
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 4: It's not a massive surprise that he's struggling, but maybe

823
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: not to this extent. But there is a lot to

824
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 4: unpack at Yamaha, and it feels from where we see

825
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 4: it that not a lot of it is great right now?

826
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

827
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 5: What to add? Jack Mail? Jack's the highlight of Yama.

828
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 5: He's carrying the whole manufacturer on his shoulder because he's

829
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 5: always upbeat, always positive. Every time he goes out he

830
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 5: has a new bike, another setting a high low shot.

831
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 5: He's quite clever as well himself come up with ideas,

832
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 5: so he's doing all the donkey work and always fast

833
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 5: enough to feel the difference. Not so fast that you

834
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 5: keep crashing or don't know how you did it, But

835
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 5: it doesn't help them a lot at the moment since

836
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 5: they are just way too slow by bringing up real

837
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 5: important new patch. It's just the the base of development

838
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: is just super super slow, I mean worryingly slow. So yeah,

839
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 5: I feel sorry. I'm not sorry for because in a

840
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 5: way he feel sorry for Jack because I want him

841
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 5: to win everywhere because we all have a better time.

842
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 5: But I'm so happy to see Jack making the best

843
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 5: out of it and seemed genuinely like satisfied with himself

844
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 5: and his work and what he and what he brings

845
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 5: to the whole project. But yeah, and a fabious fabio. No,

846
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 5: I'm worried for Yamaha, and I feel very very sad

847
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: for top Rack, but yeah, because I'm shocked by the

848
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 5: lack of speed from top Rack and I didn't expect

849
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 5: him to be anywhere this far off the pace as

850
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 5: he is, and I put it mostly down on the

851
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 5: yamahas where the bike is at the moment, but I'm

852
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 5: also shocked at what Yamaha. I have to be careful

853
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 5: because I might say things that I'm just wrong, but

854
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 5: my in my opinion, let me say really careful like

855
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 5: this because I was never a multigip engineerer. I'm just

856
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 5: a guy walks around the pit boxes, tries, you know,

857
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 5: tries to understand a little bit of what happens. I

858
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 5: I'm worried that how far Yamaha went with top rack

859
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 5: to give him what he wants. If a rookie ask

860
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 5: for stuff, you got to be very careful because he

861
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 5: is a rookie and he doesn't know what he looks for,

862
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 5: so he you Loosually, what rookies does is look for

863
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 5: the same feeling they had on the last bike, whether

864
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 5: it was a super spot bike, about a three bike

865
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 5: or another manufacturer, because that's what they know, and then

866
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 5: they expect you to make it that it automatically will

867
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 5: become better from their own. So you work a little

868
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 5: bit with I mean, seating positions is hugely important to

869
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 5: motor tip. It's really way you put your rider. The

870
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 5: whole thing is designed to work in a certain way.

871
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 5: If you sit two meters more to the front or

872
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 5: the left, obviously it's not gonna work. But it's not

873
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 5: two meters. Even five centimeters can be completely wrong if

874
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 5: you put the riders wrong. In a couple of centimeters

875
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 5: now top prack is more than a couple of centimeters wrong.

876
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 5: He's on his I mean, it's really unbelievable how wrong

877
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 5: he sits on the motorbike. Because he asked for it,

878
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: they give it to him. But that's a dead ending

879
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 5: road that will probably bring you two tens now, but

880
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 5: avoid it. You're never going to make the whole seconds

881
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 5: you're looking at. He sits so low in the rear

882
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 5: that he doesn't have the seat arrow. And he knows

883
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 5: because he goes every now and then he goes out

884
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 5: with seat arrow and he told us, he said, with

885
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 5: seat everything's better. I stop better. Everything is more stable,

886
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 5: even the long corners, everything's better. But the way, the

887
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 5: hardest thing is not the rear, the front, the front,

888
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 5: but what they do with the front for him. You

889
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 5: know the right side of the motorbike. You can see

890
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 5: how many centimeters or millimeters that the front fork comes

891
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 5: sticks out above the triple clamp. Assuming front forks are

892
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 5: the same Yamas front frogs have the same length. This

893
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 5: is hundred percent shore. Yeah, fabilize them twenty to twenty

894
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 5: five millimeters offset check fifteen millimeters toper zero. That's already

895
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 5: so that the guy has like a touring biker shopper.

896
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 5: To make things worse, they give him a handle bush.

897
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 5: They made the handlebus for him that goes at least

898
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 5: fifty millimeters up as well. This is a handle bus

899
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 5: you normally never see in racing. They stick out, then

900
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 5: they go up and to go more out. So top

901
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 5: rauxice is completely wrong on the bike means center of gravity,

902
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 5: air resicians. Everything is all over the place, and he

903
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 5: wants it because his reasoning is if I'm sitting comfortably,

904
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 5: I can find some confidence and then maybe later I

905
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 5: can try to learn to sit on a motor feedback

906
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: as it is designed to be. Not that for me

907
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 5: is there is the and I from his point of view,

908
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 5: it's logic. But the crew chief and the team should say,

909
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 5: I'm not that's that's that's that's not gonna work. That's

910
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 5: not what we're what you want to do here on

911
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 5: these bikes. Then they don't work. So they did it.

912
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 5: I'm surprised by that, and I'm not. Don't get me wrong.

913
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 5: I'm not saying topraking is slow because Yama puts him

914
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 5: wrong on the motorbike allows him to sit wrong on

915
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 5: the motorbike. There's a combination of reasoning. But this is

916
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: the worrying part that I don't understand that they go

917
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 5: that far off the normal sitting position because the rider

918
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 5: wants that this is He's not the tallest in the pattern.

919
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 5: Marini is probably even longer. But Marini grew up on

920
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 5: motor tree moto too, so he knows how to shit

921
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 5: on the motorjip Bick. Top rack has a lot of time.

922
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 5: He has, oh yeah, or at least half a year

923
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 5: to have zero points zero pressure and learn to ride back.

924
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 5: And the first thing he does is sit on it

925
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: like on a superbike. Not so sure if that's the correcter,

926
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 5: but the guy, let's not forget. He's amazingly telling you

927
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 5: you're right. Twenty nine. But he started late. He started

928
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 5: late in getting serious, and you've seen that with Casey riders.

929
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 5: It's not only an obviously it's an age thing, but

930
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 5: it's also an amount of years thing. At some point

931
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 5: you get tired. Casey got very early tired in his

932
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 5: life because he started also very very early. Top Prauck

933
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 5: started really late, especially late being serious. Once he started

934
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 5: to be serious, he was fast. Yeah, hard to say.

935
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 5: He comes into really the worst possible moment inside Yamah.

936
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 5: I'm still glad he has a two year contract because

937
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 5: I expect a lot more from him next year, and

938
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 5: I hope Yama and he and he. What is also

939
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 5: gonna probably help him a lot is writing with others.

940
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 5: All the testing days he's done is on the own.

941
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 5: The last thing you want in is it's just showing

942
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 5: somebody else what you're doing. Although top Rack is given

943
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 5: a real by people, sometimes especially by Jack here again

944
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 5: because Jack and they're obviously they're best friends, so Jack

945
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 5: really helps him, shows him the line shows what's possible.

946
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 5: But in a race, when you're battling forty minutes with

947
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 5: people of your lap time, then you quickly see, ah,

948
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 5: here I'm nearly running into the backfield. Fuck, how do

949
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 5: you get away there? And then you start to copy it,

950
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 5: copy it. It's always it's always the racing that makes

951
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 5: you really quickly improve and realize where it's possible. So

952
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 5: it's start to go racing with top Rag. It's time

953
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 5: to start racing.

954
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just realized it. I don't know why this

955
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: never came to me. The thoughts is, okay, out of

956
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: the two rookies doogres race it all.

957
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: These tracks bar Brazil, as everybody else has top Rack

958
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: hasn't raised it any of the away races because super

959
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 2: Bow only ever did Philip.

960
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 3: Island and then the rest of Europe. So he's he's

961
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 3: really like three steps back behind.

962
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 5: Yeah wow, yeah, exactly wow. And diego on the one

963
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 5: lap one time a day, he makes a good step

964
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 5: to top right, but also not an amazing other step,

965
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 5: and he is the guy that nobody starts to give up.

966
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 5: How bet, it was very very clear in how they

967
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 5: Yogo comes in in the time in multigip when it's

968
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 5: still really difficult to ride these bikes that I just

969
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 5: have to do a lot of things with right high

970
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 5: devices and ship that's all gone and disappear next next year,

971
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 5: Amoltip will be relatively easier. So you can bring about

972
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 5: to two guy and expect him to pick up the

973
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 5: pace a lot quicker than we can expect from Diogo

974
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 5: at the moment in this cuss So they give him

975
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 5: all the time, but all Theogo's normal laps are not

976
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 5: a lot better than top rucks, and the Yogo we

977
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 5: don't doubt him. We start to dubt top right, but

978
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 5: we don't doubt Yogo because he was so good in

979
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 5: Multi two last year. He grews up on these bikes. Yeah,

980
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 5: that's another way to look at the situation. When you

981
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 5: look at Yogo Morrera, it's not it's not that far

982
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 5: off top Rack. Probably on there was one best lap.

983
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 5: It's a big difference, but all the normal laps are closer,

984
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 5: so it's not so easier the moment to jump on

985
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 5: a motor to be back.

986
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: It's not, but we look at it differently because of

987
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 4: the year on their birth certificates. Right, that's part of

988
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: the equation that we're making is that Morera is what

989
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 4: eight or nine years younger than than top Rack, So

990
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 4: we probably give him a little bit of grace because

991
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: of just the age, and you.

992
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 5: Expect him to learn quick because the older the younger

993
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 5: you are the quicker, and the quicker you pick up

994
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 5: new stuff.

995
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 4: Adapt Yeah.

996
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 5: I probably just said that when I explained the top

997
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 5: Rack doesn't want to change his writing procision.

998
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

999
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: Mean, that's he's the nail on my head, right crazy.

1000
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 5: Anyway, you have to love top It would be so

1001
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 5: good for all of us if he is on the

1002
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 5: podiumen in the top five. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, now

1003
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 5: to explain you were with the debriefs and I interviewed

1004
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 5: him a couple of times in the Superbike carreer. I mean,

1005
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 5: such an interesting guy, So from what did you for.

1006
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: Those listening and Matt in Spain because it was the

1007
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: first time that he's at this official test, he'd come

1008
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 2: up to the media center and he was introducing himself

1009
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: to everybody.

1010
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 3: It was like, graters don't do that.

1011
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: So he's definitely bringing this whole fresh air.

1012
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: And we've got an interview coming out on Fox Sports

1013
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: as well with him where he was talking about his

1014
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: excitement and just.

1015
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: The difference and even he goes media for me is

1016
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: so strange.

1017
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, he is a breath of fresh air and

1018
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see cannot wait. But we've got Thailand,

1019
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: We've got Round one happening this weekend for US. Ossie's

1020
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: down here in the Southern Hemisphere, a race that's actually

1021
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: in our time zone.

1022
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: So we are just so excited about that.

1023
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: But we're going to have to ask the hard hitting

1024
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: questions right now, Matt Peter, who's gonna win on Sunday?

1025
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: And please don't say and Mark Marquez give me something else.

1026
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say that, but I'll be kind

1027
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 4: to Peter as their guest and I'll let him go first.

1028
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 5: It's probably also because I want it. It's it's Marco Bazeki,

1029
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: but my brain says it will be Mark. But I

1030
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 5: have to repeat what I said a couple of times.

1031
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 5: Mark's filmerable film. Not a lot has to go wrong,

1032
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 5: and he's not. He's far from winning this race and

1033
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 5: everything that's certainly really really interesting. So yeah, I don't

1034
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 5: expect Mark to to win easily. It will be him

1035
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 5: or Marco.

1036
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 4: I'm going to sit on something resembling of fence here,

1037
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 4: but I'm going to say the top six is going

1038
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 4: to have three apriliers and three decaddies.

1039
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and they will be within once a half

1040
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 5: a second. Already. You know the letter is going to

1041
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 5: be crazy. They're already yeah. Are interesting for two days

1042
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 5: and then have the race weekend. Then it will be

1043
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 5: zero point two five for the top ten, I tell you,

1044
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 5: which is silly.

1045
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: H oh.

1046
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: I think I heard say that last year's top six

1047
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 2: at the end of the Test was the top six

1048
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: at the end of the championship.

1049
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 3: Imagically have a replay.

1050
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 5: Of that's interesting.

1051
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 4: Championship runner up.

1052
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 5: It's hilarious well, speaking of deeply riders and the bread

1053
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 5: of press air like top rack. I mean, it's almost

1054
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 5: another podcast subject to how we speak by the right

1055
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:30,240
Speaker 5: because a goody. It's also a case's debrief is something special.

1056
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 5: I mean they're all special, but Ice is very very special.

1057
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 5: He is so quiet and then whatever you ask him,

1058
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 5: he takes five minutes and looks around for the answer,

1059
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 5: no matter how simple it is, just really no matter

1060
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 5: how simple. It's like, oh, this is a really difficult question,

1061
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 5: and he's saying this is not that bad. He's just

1062
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 5: very very old school Japanese. He's very very careful how

1063
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 5: to say things. It doesn't show any emotion. He's a

1064
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 5: roboty you have no feelings, you has very very interesting

1065
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 5: is debriets as well. Sometimes he says accidentally something super

1066
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 5: interesting accidently. Most of the time it's to stand that stuff.

1067
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 5: But we'll just slip up the tongue. It can be interesting.

1068
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 4: That is a podcast we need to do write a

1069
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 4: debrief body language and what they say verbally, that's yeah,

1070
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 4: that's we need to explore that one. Rendre because you know,

1071
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 4: it's like from being on the inside you've got some

1072
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 4: people who are telling you a million things and saying nothing.

1073
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 4: You've got other people who are saying nothing but actually

1074
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 4: telling you something decent, and then you've got other people

1075
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 4: who are thoroughly pleasant to you and give you lots

1076
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 4: of words in your recording. And then you listen back

1077
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 4: to it and go, I didn't say anything approach. It's

1078
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 4: good at the time, though it's not what I'm looking for. Yeah, yeah,

1079
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 4: exactly exactly.

1080
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 2: I think that the liberty media takeover that is eventually

1081
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 2: going to happen, and that's what it's going to be.

1082
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: If they do a Drive to Survive.

1083
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to be the best way

1084
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 2: for people to really get to know what we see

1085
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 2: in the media, say through what you see in the

1086
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 2: paddic of these writers and their personalities, because the two

1087
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: minutes you see of them doing a social media sketch

1088
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: or whatever on monogp dot com is not it's not

1089
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 2: really who they are. So I'd love to see that

1090
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 2: as an outcome eventually, but I think we should wrap

1091
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 2: that up here.
