Overtaking in MotoGP | EXPLAINED

How do MotoGP riders setup a pass and overtake? Why is the start so important? What is out braking? Lets figure it out.

[@davida1679]

I can tell your a real lover of two wheel performance and someone who’s laid down a lot of miles. I’m a long haul truck driver specializing in only oversized yacht transport. I work about 200 days a year, and the rest of the time I’m either on my 2012 Concours 1400 or I’m riding ms April RSV4. I look forward to your next videos!

[@ardianprasetia1455]

nice bike

[@trykozmaksym]

#1 - block-pass - not as noble as the rest but surely used most :D

[@blipco5]

I am VERY consistent rider in all the areas you mentioned. Consistently bad. 😪

[@peepee27]

Saaaaame

[@marcusgeorge1825]

So very true! I like the shot of my old home racetrack (Philip Island). Slipstreams play a big part as it’s one of the fastest (if not the) in both the GP and WSBK championships! Leading, with a bike on your tail, at the last corner meant you’d almost always get overtaken just at the finish line when you were at top speed. 👍😎

KZbin algorithm should recommend this video to more people, more than 24h yet less than 1000 views for more than 100,000 subscribers 🤷‍♂️

[@CautiousCrow]

Commenting and liking increases audience engagement and pushes the algorithm to recommend the video to more people. So good job! Good job me too *pats my own shoulders*

Never stop improving... thanks Mike!

[@temblekec]

I LOVE your videos man. So much info. Thank you so much. 🤟

[@newpuroo920]

thank you for uploading videos from which i can learn something new :)

[@sohanbaskey7165]

This was the best video as compare to other youtubers. Thankyou for making videos like this.

[@jamesk7161]

Your awesome I love listening to your commentary, lol I see a guy racing by and you see how he got there . Keep on teaching us thanks

[@fabzrustrider9838]

Awesome and informative at the best, Great video 👍🏾💯🇯🇲

You do a great job making bikes make sense.

Awesome content!’

[@michaelmanese2228]

Thank you Mike ✌️❤️🇵🇭

[@heydario]

Great vid Mike

[@harrisbrancazio3196]

The outro was sick!

[@kellerkiller1987]

Great video~~~ Dun get me wrong but I was kinda looking for more technical explainations rather than strategies tho. There are some techniques I have used on the track such as block pass, crossing trajectory, late apex... Etc. Obviously you are much much better than I am as a rider and I would love to see your technical explainations on these techniques~~~ Please please make another in-depth video on overtaking~~~ 🙏🙏

[@zubairalam2795]

[@kiariiwainaina8980]

Nicely done

[@Daniel-yp1yi]

great video

[@piplmast]

Hi Mike, thanks for great videos. Can you please tell me are there any special names for overtake techniques in MotoGP, named after riders or so? Some Japanese name on K rings in my head, i can not recall.

[@rahulswrankaar8001]

Frst cmnt bro keep making these vedios Love u bro

[@ivansnegireff3402]

lisn befor say

[@matthewsarich5516]

awesome

[@BabyIshii]

By far slipstream n wearing out tyres are best strategy now days compare to others Out breking wears tyres faster after long straight Chasing n waiting can also make bike slow on some corners before someone behind u overtakes u which is risky Another best way is like waiting for long straight for bikes like Ducati does on mugelo

[@dhafinichsan]

after 10 years watching motogp i finally understand the hard and soft tyre strategy haha

[@philippebleau4809]

Mike, non motorcycle related but, what is your closing theme music? I would like to listen to it in its entirety on Spotify. Thanks.

[@marcelosmarquesdepaula5898]

Me too....

[@hk13_legacy]

Make a video on racing lines on racetrack

[@raeeshalder]

Can we built a track racing motorcyle at home???🤔

[@santhoshgrm]

Is using Moto GP videos allowed? Just out of curiosity..

[@hipsabad]

you forgot to mention No.7: have the luck to be a tiny jockey: then you can out-brake and out-accelerate your heavier opponents. Unlike in F1 auto racing

Wish kawi would get back to Moto gp With a A brand new cross plane crankshaft zxrr...... then do what Yamaha did with the yzr-m and translate that technology to their premier super bikes (zx10r, zx10rr). It would totally reinvent the brand, but it’s never gonna happen.the new gen zx10r is awesome tho....

[@gavinbritt1349]

Where is the next supermoto build video??

Catalunya 2009 - THE PASS

[@rafikusuma9989]

i have a question, why motogp riders make much less defensive manouvers than f1 drivers? i see so much easy overtakes down the inside where the defenders just gave away the position. but i know that theyre aware of the riders behind them because i see a lot of avoiding manouvers on the apex even though they had the corner. so why dont just defend the inside line on the entry?

[@iftekharahmed2872]

Because motorcycle can easily lose balance and once you lose it you are out of the race. Thats why you give in a position to an agressive rider. Its better to drop one position than to drop out from the race. And they are less expensive compared to f1 cars so an agressive rider don't care that much. But in f1 cars are expensive and you wont have to worry about balance or anything. So you can defend your position. And cars are expensive so you don't want to mess up the car thats why attacking drivers aren't that agressive as attacking riders

[@ryanmccomas154]

I haven't disliked 1 of ur vids

[@Lanun-D]

after watching this video, ive become a motor GP rider. and i'll tell my neighbor to do so,

[@youwantmyname9208]

I love soft tires than harder tires more for some reason

[@one-of-us9939]

How do I pass? Mostly with me screaming fear inside my helmet... JK. But really, when I do commit to passing it is my dedication that puts me into an area of uncertainty... I love riding that way. Always improving. Until you do it the 1st time... you cannot do it again.

[@davidmann2988]

Does it really need to be explained?

[@Caiman_dorohedoro]

[@sutrebloggentv756]

I need better tires

[@mohamedmifrah2617]

I can now win at MotoGp🏆

[@ianlanford6922]

Nowadays you cant rely on the bike too much like previous era. All bikes now closer in power, so everyone seek little difference that can improve their bike. Last year honda is just the true example. Even cal said you cant mimic what marquez did. 66° lean angle just to turn the bike. That was outright video games. Not to mention, while other honda suffered, only one man capable doing the magic alone.

[@stpbasss3773]

I've seen Marc hit 69 degrees which is insane

[@ivansnegireff3402]

lisn

[@carmarusso3869]

I can't believe Rossi made that move through the dirt. What a balsy move. Didn't Marquez do that same move the year before?....at the exact same spot?

[@MTBStuff]

No. The overtake from Rossi was in 2004, when Marquez didn’t know how to ride a fucking motorbike, against Casey Stoner. So Rossi did it first. But he had no other option than cutting through the dirt.

[@ido7449]

Are you okay dude ?

[@GiorgiLaluashvili]

Pass by crashing your opponent ✊

[@KeithFlint350]

So what you know from this video is: GO FASTER. You still don't know what are the rules on a MotoGP race regarding overtaking

[@Neighborhood_hooligan]

Can’t believe he used nr to abbreviate number instead of # 😂😂😂

[@neilwells68]

One bike goes faster than another FFS

[@djhinormas959]

or u can just blockpass like 93 does and push the other rider into the dirty part of the track forcing them to stand the bike up. 93 is a rat

[@racetoria3069]

i immediately get road rage & just kick d other rider out.like rossi did to Marquez... haha

[@jdmikeg4]

Rossi can pass by kicking.

[@jerome9606]

The Honda's have a bad stability, it's obvious

[@warriorsheart9102]

Lmao.. Amateurs. I can do this with one hand, here hold my moped
