~~~SNIP~~~
Maniac looked very upset talking to the crew chief after entering the pit garage. He was quite "animated"
.
Any clues?
Word is the variable length intake trumpets quit working.
is it a safe assumption to say JLo is a more technical rider where as MM is more instinctive?
If JLo carries on like this it's going to be that more of a challenge for VR, but then VR is the veteran, but over ten seconds behind JLo? ouch!
I'd agree, JLO is more technical and MM more instinctive.
JLo's style is based on corner speed.
As long as he's got the setup 99% nailed and he's got clear track to run on, he's very hard to stay with.
That style can get compromised if he's got to battle wheel to wheel, he runs his big sweeping lines and then the other guy runs it up the inside and he can't keep the corner speed.
He's very good at pushing the bike right to the razor's edge and keeping it there consistently.
If he can't get the setup right, he's screwed.
JLo has a scalpel, Rossi a Bowie knife, MM has a machete, and Pedrosa has a dodgy switchblade.
All lethal but dependent on circumstances.
