Funny, he didn't have any objections when the Duc was slow.  [roll]

He's worried about Crazy Joe. He's not worried about Dovi, he's got it over him. But Crazy Joe is crazy enough to believe he can win, or take Rossi out trying. [evil]

I can't find a cite right off, but I think he actually did. What I find most interesting in that interview is how little Rossi knew about the rules and benchmarks by which Ducati (or the other manufacturers with concessions) would lose the various benefits they currently enjoy. Probably he heard the words "Ducati" and "podium" and tuned it out as unimportant...

Very likely he did, I couldn't remember Rossi having any objections, but that's relying on my dodgy memory.  [laugh]

Interesting interview with Michelin's Racing Technical Director on the MotoGP tests at Sepang and the various tire options they're exploring:

He doesn't shed any more light on the big crashes (I suspect questions on that were ruled out before granting the interview), but it's interesting to see the avenues they're exploring regarding compounds and profiles, and what different riders are gravitating toward.

Haven't followed this technology much....does this mean all the rider has to do now is twist the throttle, steer the motorcycle, and avoid falling off?

No. They just don't have to use the clutch on downshift anymore.
