Stating the obvious, just a
Stating the obvious, just a few things stick out now. The Honda is overtly the most changed, can't yet tell much about it via feedback from riders but we will soon enough. The end of the engine freeze is here, and motors top the agenda for many. The 2022 F tire isn't yet here, but is our next circus pivot point.
One look at the roster of riders out there circulating says something impressive, eh? Quite the lineup. The two Orange kids did fine opening their new presents. Aleix roughly matching Bagnaia at top with a Black bike deeply impresses. Off to look for details.
Still no update from VR46 re Team Plan B? Confirms that Plan A is out. Good.
I wonder if the latest RC213V
I wonder if the latest RC213V still has holes in the frame for intake air. During the 2019 tech videos, Yokoyama stated that it would take up to two years to determine if they had chosen the correct development path.
Pretty safe to say...
... that Honda's development path over the last few years has sucked. :D
KTM
KTM really know how to look after their guys hey. I'm super impressed with how they've looked after these young guns and I especially liked what they did for Simon Crafar. They're the feel good factory for sure.
Raul
I'm not 100% convinced that Raul Fernandez shares that feeling :-)
