MotoGP 2024

New front tyre could, should, make other bikes feature again.

Or make the '24's untouchable given that locking/losing the front was their only weakness.

Well they kinda are already.

KTM have not been able to fix thier chatter issues properly and Aprilia are all at sea, but sketchy conditions change things up.
A change of front bias would be what Yamaha for example are likely making offerings for at various temples.

Simon Crafar said on after the flag that the only reason Enea went of the track was because he was looking back towards Martin. And as we all know you go where you look. I didnt atually see contact. Martin reacted quite suddenly twice as Enea appeared

Bastianini only looked back after the event - it was a dirty move in my opinion... diving up the inside - go for it (noting it doesn't take much of a nudge from the inside to send you well of line), but running him wide is not fair play. i suspect bastanini looked back to see if martin was still upright

So, obviously it's not the same thing, but I've had a couple supposedly gun riders bang into me and try run me off over the years, I'm like; if you can't beat with skill, you resort to, well, Bullying. So, yeah, not a fan.
But riding tiny bikes for zero$ is not MotoGP. It's their trainset so that's how it is.
Italian rider, Italian bike, Italian track, Italian fans.
You'd be keen to rule against him and try leaving the track that evening.

Totally agree on that - remember way back (possibly 20 years or so) one of the riders had a security team to look after him in spain?

Well, it would have been OK if Bastianini had held his line. But he was never going to do that, and he's too good a rider not to understand that it was unlikely to be a clean pass. But an Italian riding a Ducati at Missno in their 100th race...

So, what would Simon have done?

He's no fool. Majority decision of the stewards panel. As I understand it, he's going to chair it.
