slipper clutch. when they downshift they go down straight to the gear they need in one pass regardless of the revs and speed. the clutch will slightly open to slide and avoid the engine overraving. so they can kick the S out of it, the clutch deals with it. that's why the clutch is open to air becasue it slides a lot when the ydownshift like this so they have to run them open to air. they also change it every day of running.

[@italianstallion399]

Yeah as radracer was saying, the graphic is either slightly off because on upshifts the bike gets out of first gear at 100 mph/162 kph (check turn 11 exit for a clear picture) or they have the mother of all slipper clutches bringing it down at a fraction until it's below redline. Insane. I know they like to get downshifts done early but wow!

wow, using engine brakes on the 1st gear, gearbox and transmission should be solid

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Danke fürs online stellen! Wirklich sehr interessant! Wenn es auch die kameraposition eigentlich nicht wirklich ist. Aber die eingeblendeten Daten. Zum Beispiel bei 1:19 sieht man wie er aus 342 die nächste Kurve anbremst und dabei routinemäßig und überhaupt ohne noch weiter nachzudenken oder weiter nachdenken zu müssen einfach alle Gänge von 6 nach 1 zurück runter schaltet, eben weil die nachfolgende Kurve eine Kurve für den ersten Gang ist. Und da ja in die Kupplung zum Runterschalten ein Überholfreilauf eingebaut ist, schaltet er ganz einfach alle sechs Gänge runter - ohne sich dabei um das richtige Drehzahlniveau zu kümmern. In der Folge kann ich gut sehen, dass er mit dem Runterschalten bereits im ersten Gang angekommen ist, obwohl die Geschwindigkeit noch 261 km/h beträgt - und der erste Gang hoch nur bis ungefähr 160 reicht - eigentlich. (Demnächst also wohl so vermutlich auch auf der Straße?)

[@irsancarista7785]

After seeing this video, I can analyze why in the previous race Aprilia had problems with the transmission gear, it turns out this is how Vinales rides... In my opinion it's no longer aggressive, but more rough... That's purely my opinion... Maybe that was the reason first Yamaha kicked him out because in the Austrian race he tried to damage his motorbike... Luckily when he was still at Suzuki, he never had engine problems or transmission gear problems, yes we all know how proven Suzuki engines are... Just look at the endurance races, Suzuki is the one who has won the most... Hopefully Suzuki can return to MotoGP in 2027 to further increase its competitiveness in MotoGP...

[@TheJonix46]

Dude, the gearbox problem was caused by a human error from a mechanic. This was confirmed by Aprilia. Nothing to do with Maverick
