Dall’Igna, how Machiavellian!
In a previous Confidential Box, we explained how the policy of free access to the data governing all Ducati riders was allowed before. Jorge Martin know, after each training session, where Pecco Bagnaia marked differences. The information was like a ‘treasure map’, because it told the Spanish pilot what he had to do to neutralize Bagnaia’s advantages. Well, in Thailand, Luca Marini He commented that this time the reference to Ducati became Jorge. “He does things that no one else can do,” commented the Team VR46 driver. Amazingly, it was the exact same phrase that Martín used when he was chasing Bagnaia. A phrase to which, after what we have seen, we should add the tag ‘so far’. It is worth noting that this system leads Ducati riders to constantly improve the best of them, raising the level of their rides. Dall’Igna was a true Machiavelli of the race.
How tired of little games of declarations!
Yes, yes, I’m somewhere between bored and fed up with the role of ‘content creators’ that some pilots have taken on. Marc Márquez’s departure or not from Honda in Netflix’s documentary format has become a nightmare. The yes, but no, the ‘something is happening’, the ‘I’ve decided, the ‘I decided it a few days ago’… The penultimate chapter, because there will be more, surely, is the one about ‘Marc was accepted to ride for free’ by Paolo Ciabatti, which led Nadia Padovani to reject the Ducati manager, because Márquez, after saying that his decision required a great sacrifice on his part, had to clarify that ‘I do not said I would run free.’ Another novel is the one starring Miguel Oliveira and the interest, or not, on Honda’s part in him. If a few days ago it was ‘it’s always comforting when someone like Honda interests you’ and ‘every rider wants to ride a factory bike as soon as possible’, yesterday it was ‘I’m not talking about the next Honda. season’… Terrible, lazy!
Burned out, tired and furious…the silent crowd of the paddock.
Burned out, exhausted, this is how the mechanics of the World Championship teams are coping in their third GP in a row. On paper, it was known that this would be a complicated part of the championship, but the reality exceeded all expectations… for the worse, of course. If the MotoGP riders, who travel with all the facilities and are at the circuits in time to do their job, admit that they can’t wait to get home, the fight against the exhaustion of that silent crowd that makes up the rest of the teams, were tested on a route that in three weeks took them from Europe to Indonesia, from Indonesia to Australia, and from Australia to Thailand. All this with a change in schedules that completely revitalizes bedtimes, with changes in temperatures gone from the stifling heat of Indonesia to the southern chill of Phillip Island to return to the warmth of Thailand. In some garages, the fact of having 24 hours together for three weeks logically destroyed the coexistence of the group. Managing these situations has been a challenge for managers, especially in Moo2 and Moto3. After Buriram, everyone heads home to face the second triplet – Malaysia, Qatar and Valencia.
