Great race today at motegi congrats to Stoner on his 1st world title!
Was willing Guintoli to get that poduim but 4th aint bad!
Anyone know what was wrong with Rossi's brakes?
Felt sorry for Pedrosa as he was the class of the field all weekend and was robbed by the wet conditions.

Not to thread jack but, out of curiosity. What is the drag coefficient of a MotoGP bike, and their counterparts on the streets?

Not to thread jack this abandoned thread either, but take a look at this. Yamaha is sporting an "Abarth" livery for the Australian GP, as FIAT is re-launching that specific brand.

Nothing surprising, to me at least, that Rossi will be riding on Bridgestones instead of Michelins next season. This change coming after a disasterous season on his Michelin-shod Yamaha. While his new team-mate Jorge Lorenzo will ride on Michelins.

Not only did Rossi ride with a broken hand this Sunday, but his engine failed while in 14th place, and he only needed to finish in 15th to keep his position behind world champion Casey Stoner!

I'd say about the same? After all, bikes don't need to make downforce considerations, ergo the aero goal for road & track bikes are the same, reducing drag.
