lol I will keep my eye out.

Might have some pretty rare access to team garages lined up so hopefully I can come back with some nice photos to share with everyone.

i really hope jorge has this figured out and out points dovi at the end of the year. ducati will look foolish once again.

on another note WDW will have all their racers on a V4. i wonder if stoner will do it.
 
I have one of the new Ducati official team hats.

Who's autograph would you prioritize??

-Dovi
-Petrux
-Miller
-Lorenzo (Nope)

-Or go for multiple??

for me it would be lorenzo miller dovi petrux

love him or hate him he is a 5x world champ.
 
I lost my Ducati cap on Honolulu last month - makes me sad.
I'd happily pay you for one of those team hats!!
Please!!!

I got mine at Ducati Redmond in Washington. They don't have an online store, but I would imagine that most dealers have them...

Yeah, but I don't love him and his stint was short and without much to brag about. I think I will try to get Dovi and Petrux to both sign it.

Watch him miraculously win the championship on the Duc before he goes to HRC.... :eek:
 
How many engines does each rider have left?

Take a look at how many engines the premier class riders have left for the rest of the season

The regulations in the MotoGPâ„¢ World Championship state that each rider has a total of seven engines per season, with riders who participate in teams with concessions having a total of nine engines. That said, how many engines does each rider have left as we gear up for Round 7?

Tom Lüthi (EG 0.0 Marc VDS) is the rider who has used the least number of engines so far this season, he's still on his second motor. Meanwhile, after Mugello, Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) and teammate Dani Pedrosa have used three engines each, the same amount as Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Johann Zarco.

Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team), Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu), Karel Abraham (Angel Nieto Team) and Xavier Siméon (Reale Avintia Racing) have also used three engines, along with Franco Morbidelli (EG 0,0 Marc VDS), who's second engine broke on Italian soil.

Alma Pramac Racing's Danilo Petrucci and Jack Miller are onto their fourth engine, the same as Tito Rabat (Reale Avintia Racing), Alvaro Bautista (Angel Nieto Team) and Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda Castrol).

Maverick Viñales and teammate Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) have also used four, with Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) also on his fourth engine after his technical problem during Mugello's FP2 session.

Regarding the teams that have concessions, Alex Rins (Team Suzuki Ecstar) and teammate Andrea Iannone have used three engines each, as has Pol Espargaró (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Scott Redding (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini). Bradley Smith (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) have used four engines so far in 2018.

If they get to 7 and have to use an 8th or more, they are permitted to do so but with penalty, correct?

yes that is the way I remember it .

I think exceeding the limit means a pit lane start or back of the grid.

back of the grid would be if there was a crowded pit lane its hard to keep the rules straight
 
i believe as long as the engine is sealed you can reuse it. meaning if you go to engine 3 then to engine one you are fine

Penalty for infringement of this means the rider will start from the pit lane, five seconds after the green light comes on at the exit of pitlane.

Yeah, you can go back and re-use an older engine, you just can't use more than 7 individual engines.
 
Race was awesome near the start til MM decided to play it safe after Dovi pulled DNF. Awesome ride by JL. JL and Dovi now equal on points.
Ducati (I know I know, and Jorge) must be kicking themselves at the moment.

Jorge not kicking himself he's been telling them fools over at Ducati what he need for over a year. Took them over a damn year to make the change. If you remember last year lorenzo was complaining about the seat.
Who is kicking themselves. Lin Jarvis and Yamaha. Won't have a shot for years. Even the big dog himself was at the race the president of Honda.
