Episode 439: Discussing last lap limits, Pecco's bottle, Yamaha's V4 and more

[@paddockpasspodcast5603]

What's your view on the title fight? Can Pecco come back from here?

[@tellicoadventuretrail]

50/50. Jorge seems to crash often enough when the pressure is on too.

[@peterday3253]

Sure. Mathematically (but not realistically) the top ten riders can win the title right now. When Mandalika is done and dusted, it'll probably be a four horse race.

[@ianjohnson1207]

Of course he can, this championship will to and fro all the way to the end

[@JoeEngineersThings]

I wish every split second of WSBK wasn’t filled with commentary. It’s really exhausting. I mean this respectfully, hopefully it gets heard, this is my first season watching and I don’t think I can handle another. I’m probably not the only one feeling this way.

[@MartinMcMartin]

Pecco's crashes are always "something unusual" with the bike/tyres

[@krip9429]

lol excuses .cant ride when it isnt the perfect

[@sburns2421]

@@krip9429 He is one of the four best in the world with two championships and good chance at three in a row. LOL

​@@krip9429Really? He did finish in Silverstone in 3rd place and Austin 5th place. If you know very well then you only go and ride atleast in Moto3 class instead of passing here comments.😅

[@StefanMedici]

Of course, riders at this level are pushing everything to the limit. So when you feel in your limit and crash it's something unusual. Lucky for riders these days they have a ridiculous amount of data to pour over and find out what happened.

[@StefanMedici]

KTM is a brutal company to work for. Whether you're a rider or crew or back at the factory, every year they reorg, little loyalty and little continuity. They were like that back when they came into 125s and then tried 250s before abandoning that. Just ask Talmacsi, after the team manager at Qatar said live on air that there were no team orders and they were free to race, followed by the aftermath when Talmacsi won.

[@parmijo]

Martin needs a teammate like Pecco does. Enea can take points off Martin which helps Pecco. Morbidelli is nowhere.

[@cdmc012599]

Linn said they'll drop the V4 in when it can beat the incline 4. Right not its not.

[@ianjohnson1207]

He also said It’s still in the development stage, and it can’t be “dropped in”

[@craigbrown8270]

Pecco cannot handle the pressure when things go against him.

[@cdmc012599]

He only went off track cause he was looking over. What a joke to even say! Thats like saying Fabio should be champion cause he only missed it cause of a long lap penalty for running into someone in a corner. There has to be a standard. They need to stop trying to call penalties to play to the points fight.

[@Terraceview]

I like both Martin and Enea but that move was over the 'line'.

[@sburns2421]

It is all our own opinions but Martin left room on the right hand side because of his exit from the previous corner. Maybe he didn't think normally-clean Bastianini would try a hard pass. Had Marquez been behind him he would have closed the door better.

[@philsaunder9690]

Michelin are making tyres for V4 delivery. Simple as that.

[@ianjohnson1207]

Not quite, it didn’t work with the majority of the bikes, which are nearly all V4s It still doesn’t work well with the KTM Too much grip, believe it or not

[@martythompson6509]

Pecco has had 7 non scores. Jorge 3.

[@StefanMedici]

Ignore the sprints and they're even on DNFs. In fact if sprints were considered a separate championship, Pecco would be massively ahead in the traditional championship, and I Martin would win the sprint championship.

[@joedwillyx3d]

What about when Rossi and MM got into it and Rossi went straight across the sand to win? Sometimes it matters if you were pushed off to be above the apex?

[@hmangaralsun]

Enea looked over his shoulders cause he knew he made a mistake and was out of control.. 6:30, Penalty or not should be investigated and issue an explanation

[@ianjohnson1207]

Well if it’s not a penalty, why would it be investigated You’re comment makes no sense

[@countbrapcula-espana]

Neil Morrison has zero charisma and a monotone bore on MotoGP broadcasts during practices and qualifying. No excitement, no humor and no passion. What secret photos does he have on Dorna officials to have that job???

[@wayne79.]

Who pissed in your cornflakes, grow up and have some manners buddy I enjoy Neil’s insights

[@countbrapcula-espana]

@wayne79. I do have manners, just because you speak the truth, doesn't mean anything other than that? Is he your boyfriend ?
