MOTOGP » Dovi cuts gap, compares Ducati with Honda


Interesting comment from Dovi. The Ducati is known to understeer "the bike wants to go straight". Unfortunately understeer is a fatal flaw. To correct your line you need to either increase the lean angle or the steering angle. Both increase the load on the front tire. If you are on the limit, you will lose the front end. Result: you can't enter the corner on the limit with a bike that understeers. Racing motorcycles must be designed to oversteer. This is Ducati's flaw.

MOTOGP » Determined Pedrosa 'feeling good' for Aragon


Breaking a tie is easy in the most wins system. Count second places, thirds etc. Two riders with the same number of wins, the title goes to whoever has the highest number of second placings and so on. What happens if there is a points tie now? They look at race wins. Tied on race wins, they look a second places. Its what they would do now. I want a championship system that encourages winning and exciting racing, not one that encourages finishing safely.

MOTOGP » Determined Pedrosa 'feeling good' for Aragon


Time to change the way the championship is awarded. Give the title to the guy who wins the most races and forget about these stupid pussy points. Think about it, under that system, Pedrosa could still win the title and Lorenzo still needs to win races to secure the title. Under the current system, Lorenzo just has to ride safe and pick up the pussy points. The current system puts way too little weight on winning races and way too much weight on finishing races. No one should ever be a world champion for winning 2 races!

MOTOGP » Lorenzo 'much calmer' after Pedrosa loses ground


Look at it anyway you like but now we get a true comparison between the 2 riders because they have now both finished the same number of races and: Lorenzo has 6 wins versus 3 for Pedrosas and Lorenzo still has not finished lower than 2nd. This was the equalizer and nothing more. Tough luck for Pedrosa just like it was tough luck for Lorenza when it happened to him!
