Bagnaia on a V4S

I know, I think those revzilla guys were afraid to go passed a certain threshold. I'm not saying that they don't talent.
Bagnaia has talent and is okay with putting the bike in the gravel. Hence the lap times.
And Ducati could be using this as advertising.
Who knows.
 
Putting all the GP riders on the V4s is advertising no doubt. However it puts the riders back on track getting sharp for the second half of the season. Marquez was out today on a CBR 600 training.
 
There are guys who can ride anything, and win. There are guys who can do impressive lap times with small bikes. Those are few and rare talents. Then there are guys who can only ride their one bike set up exactly that one way or it's hopeless. They exist even on the MotoGP grid.
The list of guys who can't figure out a Ducati is pretty long and less interesting hahahaaaaa. Starts on the MotoGP grid and continues to the regular humans. That doesn't prove anything.
It is indeed interesting though to see a talent take a street bike up to those speeds. It says a lot. It says it's possible, and when that list starts getting longer it says a lot about the direction of the design.
I liked the Revzilla video, it's good to ask questions and point out how complex it's become to set up a bike. It could be easy to hypothesis that with such a complex bike, most people would go faster on a old gixxer. But done right, with the right pilot, the Duc is going to blow the doors off that old gixxer. The thermometer test was pretty funny. Hi Cladio. Fix that.

On a S, would have thought they would be on R's

Also this bike is set up by the Ducati factory crew, not some track day guy fiddling with tire pressure and looking at the washing behind his clear clutch cover go round and round.

They make the most S models so that is what the pro racers are on when training, purely a marketing excerise. They are not exactly S models, they are hooked up slightly for thees guys - no electronic suspension, febur rads, but most visible parts oem. Its smart

If you look closely at all of their bikes they have standard Ohlins forks not S electronic forks.

Hmm very true? I wonder if they did not want to learn or woright around E Suspension it is nice to just tweak it mechanically but its also super easy to to on the V4S electronic suspension.
