Read an article in Crash where Petrucci and Lorenzo talk about Dovis smooth style and how this helps his speed over the whole race by conserving both fuel and tyre performance. They said they are both trying to learn from him and were very respectful of his achievements this year. It's good to see Dovi getting due recognition. It's easy to forget that the late bloomer has won a previous championship and it seems it's all coming together for him at this stage in his career. Dovi's good sportsmanship and humility are impressive.

Thanks. Worked like a charm.

I really hate Lorenzo. My skin crawls when I read his quotes. Undecided

Cool. Learn't a new puter thing. Cheesy

Thats how I feel about Ianonne. I used to like him until I read his narcissistic and delusional blogs. What a dick head.

I'm surprised that nobody has brought much attention to the fact that Dovi has been using the thumb brake to control the rear, not only for setting up his corner entry, but also as a sort of "manual" traction control for his exits.   This article mentions that Petrucci and others are currently experimenting with it, while Dovi has been using it since the latter half of 2016.  Oh yeah, Tom Sykes (WSBK) is also quite the fan.

Or perhaps the same reasons, minus having a severely damaged leg.  I imagine that having the controls at the bars allows for better modulation at nearly any body position or lean angle, where foot controls might have awkward or limited access at times.
