MM missed potential pole or, at least a front row start due to last corner slide.. Still saved that like old MM .. He is becoming old self

Thailand and what an exciting qualifying with maximum effort.
Such a confidence series is MotoGP
#72 with a 1:29.671
# 89
# 63

This is getting ridiculous. First 3 rows on the grid tomorrow are this:
1. Ducati
2. Ducati
3. Ducati
4. Quartararo
5. Ducati
6. Ducati
7. Ducati
8. Marquez
9. Ducati


7/8 Ducati bikes in 3 front rows.



Also, Dorna is still working on improving the onboard cameras as well as shoulder cameras with making tweaks here and there to make them smaller and with better quality. Also they say that next goal (maybe some test next year already) is to have a helmet camera

there are 13 x 2 = 26 bikes
these bike's 4 x 2 = 8 are ducati.
next year it will be 5 x 2 = 10

next year there will not be Suzuki so 10 of 24 bike will be ducati. Almost half of grid. I think/hope next year honda and Yamaha will be there so ducati ca not be so dominant even at power tracks.
by the way MM can be first 4 until his mistake at last turn.

do anyone have race pace data. Will Ducati's be fast at race too ?

MM was 0.094 behind Bezzechhi after third split and at least was on course for the front row.

There won't be 5 teams with Ducati bikes next year though...

Yamaha: Monster Energy Factory team
Aprilia: Factory team, WithU RNF
KTM: Red Bull KTM, Tech3 GasGas
Honda: Repsol, LCR
Ducati: Lenovo Factory team, Pramac, VR46, Gresini

Only team changing manufacturer next season is WithU RNF team from Yamaha to Aprilia. And Suzuki's slot will not be filled with anyone. But that still leaves more than 1/3 of the grid on Ducati bikes (8 out of 22 bikes on grid next year will be Ducati). Factory team and Pramac on new GP23's, VR46 and Gresini will be upgrading to this years GP22's

Thank you Cuky. I thought they also will change to ducati. When I read your post I remembered

Rather wet in Thailand, Moto2 race redflagged for a possible restart

[etusch]

Raceable wet would be good

[Cuky]

Just as pits opened for them to go for short 5-lap restart it started chucking it down again in T3, T8 and T9 and it was again delayed. As they came back to the pits rain started pouring over the whole circuit and race was abandoned with half points awarded due to less than 2/3 of race distance being completed.


MotoGP probably won't start on time as original start time is just 20-ish minutes away (10:00 GMT+2)

[johnny comelately]

where is the lady with the little gong/bowl to wish away the rain?

[etusch]

Congratulations to Miguel Olivera, very good race by him.
Jack second
with Pecco third
Only one crash I think (Marini? ironically)
great ride by everyone, hats off to the setup engineers all the bikes performed well
It looked like Marc's arm was troubling him, so he rode well for 5th
