Psyche 634 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Anyone watching tonight, Mandalika is pretty nuts, new Michelin tire carcass causing the engineers grief, new bikes still dialing it in, new track that is ultra slippery off the racing line... and its going to be a wet race! Quarty on a fast lap MM's horrible highside in the warm up, hope he recovers to race Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yeah! one of the more dramatic highsides in recent times, with all the electronic stuff available the riders can almost get away with anything. Tyres most probably??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 634 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 All the 22 bikes have been built (as in the frame) for the new Michelin rear introduced on 2020 which has a lot more grip but with track temps going to 70c plus they used the older carcass which runs cooler but it caused chaos as some bikes could not adapt. Honda being one of them. In the end it was a wet race so it didnt matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
