I do admire the effort that Yamaha are making and getting another team to get more data. As much as I love Ducati, it is quite sad to see what is happening with Honda. When I was a young lad, I was a huge Doohan fan.
 
You have to give him his due. He hazes the rear, recognizes that he has a hot sticky rear, blows by clusters in the first half lap while the rear is hot but starting to cool down right? I just watched the race from his fork cam. Awesome.
 
This was the first rain race where I thought Pecco's braking looked like dry track Pecco. Rear waving in the air as he starts to turn in. I said to beautiful watch as the fuel load comes down at about half distance Marquez is coming by. Then he crashes. If Acosta had a better start he probably would have been second. Impressive rain skills for a rookie. Jorge's style doesn't really work in the rain. Hope it keeps raining.

The DNFs doomed Pecco.

There's still 62 points left. Go back and watch the race from Pecco's fork cam. In that corner the pavement has been patched. It appears his line was just slightly wide and he catches the edge of that patch at full lean. And clearly the Pramac launch software/set-up is better than the factory's. Jorge has launched better in the entire second half of the season. Pecco was faster, it would have been different if he had led from the start.
 
Doesn't matter, the points have been lost. Pecco was/is faster as evidenced by the Q2 session.

Unless Jorge make an epic mistake during Sunday's GP, it's likely a done deal. I mean, never say never, as one can't predict what the final race will be since there's so many variables, but I wouldn't be putting money on Pecco to retain the title right now, even as much as I want the factory team to retain the title.

I don't know if your software/setup argument holds-up though. They have access to each other's data, as do all of the GP24 teams (I don't know if the GP23 teams are excluded from that sharing). If there was a setup advantage, surely the factory Ducati team would know about it and use it as well.

I think MM has it next year though. On a year old bike he manages to finish 2nd in today's sprint. He's clearly not afraid of crashing and has a lot of race experience to draw on.

If Pecco had finished 6th in the 8 DNFs he's had (assuming an even split, 4/4, between GP and Sprint races) he'd be 29 points ahead as of right now.
 
What a RACE!
Pecco had big balls, but Martin even Bigger.
I will thank this hero for a long time!

Ain't over till it's over. 2 (?) of Pecco's DNF's were thru no fault of his own. The patch gets Frankie, Martin stands the bike up and runs wide to miss the edge of it in the GP which is what let Pecco clear off again. I agree with you about Marquez he's got another championship left.
 
Jesus. 🤣 This is like when you were writing about your bike having "AI" or any post that mentions "ETV." No ...., search "etv map." It's hilarious.

When you select the on-board camera when viewing from a browser window, you merely select "OB1" or "OB2" etc., with the numeral being each respective rider. You don't get to pick which on-board camera. Typically its the tail camera, unless they're using one of that rider's three cameras for the commentary feed.

Yes you don't select the particular camera. But I note the front camera is typically on when the riders close and chasing. Did you actually watch from Pecco's feed? Probably not. Anything for an insult right? As far as the ETV stuff I've been steadily attempting to get you all to understand that everything you feel from a "tuned bike" is really the changes to the ETV maps. The one thing that's clear to me is that you are so slow you couldn't detect the actual handling issue on your SF. Stone hands. So, I've learned all the mapping (and change it as suits me). Sorted a chassis that truly screams at you that it's wrong. And now I'm blueprinting an 1103 from which I will get more power, greater reliability and more rapid acceleration (more than one way to get a motor to spin up faster other than power). And you've learned or accomplished what?
