JLo has been saying for a while that he would like the contract done before racing starts.

I think half of the inconsistency is due to the moving targer provided by Michelin.
They seem to be changing and improving the tires, but even if improvved, it's still a 'moved' target.

The factory riders favoring old(er) frames, satellite riders doing relatively better.... IMO points to either:
A) The older platforms are better understood, as the baseline settings have been found, so the stumbling around in the dark is confined to tires and electronics.
B) The Michelins are more similar to the Stones of that era than they are to last year's.

The conditions at PI were, as usual, wildly changing.
Makes for difficult testing.

PI laptimes are inversely proportional to the size of the rider's balls.

PI testing is focused on how well tires perform on that specific surface. Not sure if they used sandpaper instead of asphalt.

I hope that the testing is a good indication of how the year will be. It's nice to see it all kinds of mixed up.

Michelin has a tough road ahead of them. Bridgestone has been supplying tires for how many years and they still had problems with chunking and so on.

I can't wait to see how the next test goes.

Was hoping the Duc would be closer to the pointy end at this stage.

Pity it rained as usual at PI so no real change for race sims to see how the tyres lasted with chunking...

Damn straight.

It's quite fetching, for a KTM, I'll give it that.

Not sure if this is the 17 or something entirely different. (?)

That's the prior effort with Roberts Sr.

I'm curious how much the new one is different.
