all italian podium
the track
mugello. one of the fastest, most challenging and most entertaining race tracks in motogp.
the circuit layout gives honda and ducati a little advantage. see, bike with more horse power and solid chassis is the winning formula. mugello's fast corners and swerving chicanes are honda's favor. while on the main straight, you can drag a ducati over 340kmh! unfortunately, this is not the track where kawasaki riders can show off their talent. the new big-bang engine doesn't have enough horse power to compete for podium.
to run at mugello, set up should be lower front spring, medium to high rear spring, medium front and rear tyre compound, medium braking power, and stiffer rear suspension to compromise acceleration.
the race
amazing stunts were performed by motogp riders. like we saw a carbon copy of 125cc race, just powered by a lot more horse power. it was all italian: valentino rossi, max biaggi, marco melandri and loris capirossi who made the italian grand prix very entertaining. they change places a lot. man, i couldn't recall how many overtaking maneuvres performed by these men.
but where's sete gibernau anyway? the so called championship contender? heheee... he lost rear grip. he's race was over earlier. compared to team mate marco melandri, sete scored less points. now honda should reconsider who's number one rider? is he gibernau? biaggi? or melandri?
