Ducati will need to find improvements in a few areas if Dovi is to take it to MM in 2019.

Márquez is a freak and able to ride around all manner of problems.

Hope Jack is able to stay upright next season.

Don't disagree...but...

If Dovi hadn't crashed out of podium positions...what...three times, and if Marc had maybe one less save, the championship would have looked completely different.

Marc is a freak...and he's become a consistent one to boot. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how he can crash and continue to ride the bike. When I crash it takes me a while to even figure out that it's happened, and by that time me and the bike have parted company

Fair points about Dovi. Crashing out has cost him a shot at the title.

I wonder how many crashes were caused by the turn in issues they’re trying hard to address?

MM has had an amazing ability over a long time, to get up and walk away from crashes. Then get back on, qualify well and win races. He’s simply freakish for sure.

As for your crashes, it’s great your enjoying your racing!

I don't race. I just do track days.

I go OK.

Good info from Guy Coulon, I could read a whole lot more of what he's got to say!

Sounds like Luca has had enough.

It must be tough to have to tell Rossi that he's doing something wrong.

"Luca Cadalora, Riding Coach Valentino Rossi, arrived at the crossroads. After three seasons together the former driver decides to abandon his task to devote himself more to the private life, to the family, to his hobbies. Back in the pits in March 2016 Luca Cadalora has so far been hired (and paid) by Yamaha as the doctor's personal coach, with the aim of studying the circuit on the eve of free practice and observing the driving style of his assisted and opponents. A sort of track engineer without a degree, a personal advisor as well as "shield" from criticisms directed at the Pesarese. The refrain of the last few months has been: "If we provide him with a competitive bike Rossi can return to win", charging all responsibility on the engineering side.

At the age of 55 years Luke returns to take care of his life full time: "I carry out this assignment for three years, time has passed quickly," said Cadalora to Speedweek.com. "I've traveled a lot in recent years. At the same time, I have two girls at home and so many hobbies that I have to overlook. For example, I have a passion for old rally cars. I have a Subaru, two Mitsubishi Lancer and a Nissan nismo. " Valentino and Luca greeted each other at Jerez with a kiss in favor of the photographers. "I don't save Valentino from criticism, he only benefits if I tell him sincerely what I think. After the incidents at Sepang and Valencia, I sincerely shared my opinion with him. " In the coming weeks will come his decision that seems more geared to farewell."

Luca: "Dude, you're too make the beast with two backsing slow."
Vale: "Fottiti, bastardo, vai a casa!"
;D

Seriously, it must be exhausting, especially as it's been mostly a bike/electronics issue.

Full floating rear brake; late 70's MX, early 90's SS.

I think they're connecting it to the shock linkage to get extra flavorful action.
