  Dovi's beautiful race, I saw with pleasure that the GP 15 is bringing out the tiger eyes from him, I thought more time was needed but evidently this bike is exciting him, in spite of all those who considered him a loser by chance honda…….

        You're ridiculous, you compliment Ducati Dall'Igna and Dovizioso who made the bike competitive, but remember that when Rossi left there was no valid plan for Rossi to stay and Dovizioso did worse than Rossi in 2013 . Let's take credit away from Rossi for the competitiveness of this bike but if they hadn't replaced Preziosi, do you think they would be at this level today? Not to mention the regulation which, as you know, has facilitated a lot. PS the Ducati ran out of petrol after the finish line. However, I am very happy with the results they are having.

        Rossi had inherited a stoner podium motorbike, after the first time trials they realized that the situation was tragic, he couldn't ride it so they took the only possible path: creating a motorbike with an aluminum frame in an absurdly short time that resembled the one that Rossi was used to driving, it was the only way to go, they couldn't go back to the pylon! They came out of the gates one worse than the other and ducats and precious stones lost face, in my opinion Valentino was a poor gentleman with his statements on TV, it cannot be said for sure that he was a good team man....so I would say no credit for what is there today, the credit goes to Dall Igna and Dovizioso on GP 14 and related evolutions……

        the regulation was approved unanimously, it certainly benefited the development of the old gp 14, the new 15 was born from a blank sheet of paper, a totally new engine, the same goes for the chassis, like the suzuchi, except that ducati did something extraordinary , the regulation will benefit Ducati during the season, but so far we can only speak of an Italian miracle
        regarding petrol, in a lot of races you see people draining petrol after the finish line, Marquez himself is rumored to have run out of petrol on Saturday when he was left stranded, in the case of Ducati we don't know how much he had at the start, he could have the computer miscalculated by a whisker or they are at the limit with the liters required by the regulations, in any case they are not stealing

        Maybe in 2011 Ducati could have been on the podium with Stoner and not always, I also want to give him a victory but if you take Rossi you can't settle for a few podiums, the same goes for Stoner, Lorenzo and Marquez, with these riders you have to guarantee a world championship bike .

        No offense but the ridiculous ones here are you, Tonycart, Alecx and Hr...

        For mentality and expression of a sportsmanship that you don't have...

        You are like comrades on the left: you preach well and you scratch badly.

     Dovizioso and Ducati deserved this podium: sweaty, sought, wanted and obtained.
     Great Ducati and great Dovi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     If I had been Alecx, a Vale fan, what would I have responded to the right celebration/merit of Ducati and Dovi?

     If… Lorenzo hadn't had bronchitis, if Rossi hadn't had his right front tire ruined, if Ducati hadn't had 12 free engines for development, if he hadn't had the extra soft, if donkeys had wings…

     or am I wrong?

     My answer always remains the same: "great Marc, legendary Vale, great Ducati and honor where credit goes to Dovi".

     This is sportsmanship, your chatter always remains in the wind, Dear Sirs!

     Of course the usual ones ;-)))

  I believe that it is not Dovizioso who is superior on all the circuits, but Ducati, thanks also to some advantages, is there in front, although here certainly Dovizioso and Marquez have made the difference, they, as I believe also Lorenzo, have preserved the front tire better.

  Rossi Iannone Crutchlow and others destroyed it, I think those who are extreme in braking destroyed it first, those who are extreme in lean when braking, or in any case with a different setting.

  Thanks to his style, I think Marquez is the one who has best preserved the tire as well as Dovizioso and Lorenzo.

  Perhaps Ducati is the bike that preserved him best in terms of chassis, also given Iannone's recovery in the early stages.

  Then Honda and then Yamaha which seems to me to have destroyed the tire more especially with Rossi who certainly doesn't have the style and didn't choose the set up that would allow him to conserve the tire better despite having chosen a hard one.

  However, I would like to point out the fact that the Ducatis did not finish the return lap with both riders, in spite of those who said that 22 liters were enough and never used more than 21 liters or 22... In Qatar, here in Austin , at Mugello and perhaps also on other circuits with more than 22 they went and are going if they had the chance... if not, how do you explain that 22 wasn't enough while Yamaha and Honda finished just below the podium with 20?

  Remember what advantages Ducati enjoys now, and what Dovizioso did when he didn't have them... and what Rossi did when he didn't have them... the value of the rider hasn't changed, the value of the bike has changed thanks to the regulations and development also of engine and above all of engine that has been possible to do in the last 2 years. Hats off to Ducati, but now they need a Top Rider, someone like Stoner... Because sooner or later they lose ALL the advantages

     MAYBE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, THE GP 15 IS A MOTORCYCLE BORN FROM A BLANK PAPER, IT DOES NOT FIT THE ENGINE OF THE 14 WHICH ENJOYED THE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING IT DURING THE LAST SEASON... SO TELL US WHAT ADVANTAGE THEY HAD IN DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEW ENGINE IF WE'RE IN THE SECOND RACE AND IT WAS ALREADY GOING STRONG SINCE THE FIRST?!!!!!!

        Tony but you want to understand that since the beginning of last year they have been able to develop the engine during the season and they have done so. That they will continue to develop this engine during this season and that they have 12 instead of 5 available.

        You understand that at every grand prix this allows him to push consumption to the limit first with 24 liters in Qatar and now with 22 liters in Austin and that you can squeeze the engines more like in the good old days when they didn't have limits on quantity...

        The Ducati engine is the one that develops the most power throughout the race, and it is also doing so thanks to the extra 2 liters and the extra engines it has at its disposal.

        The gap between Ducati and Honda (Marquez) is 3-7 tenths per flying lap with the same tyres, or at least that's how it was here in Austin, as confirmed by Iannone's Q2.

        They are 2-4 tenths away from the Yamahas with the same tires.

        The GP15 was not born from a blank sheet of paper, it is an evolution of the evolution of evolution.

        This year it certainly underwent one of the most substantial changes in recent years, such as when it went from the supporting engine to the light alloy frame.

        But it is a development of the previous bikes, it combines details and it has certainly improved a lot.

        From what they say, however, this is not the engine of the GP14, or GP14.1 because they said that it now runs in reverse like that of Yamaha and this has given the improvement in cornering.
        I don't know if this already happened on the latest version from last year.

        I don't know if the old GP14s that race with the Satellite Teams also have this engine.

        Don't be offended but technically you are poorly prepared and make comments that contradict each other or are totally incorrect...
        dall'igna took advantage of the regulation to evolve the old 14 in the various steps .1 .2 .3
        it evolved the engine to the extent possible given the architecture, dimensions and chassis where it had to be installed
        completely contrary to what you say, the GP 15 chassis and engine are new, so it didn't benefit from any development last season but rather will evolve during this season thanks to the possibility of intervening and the 12 units available
        just as it is totally unthinkable that the old 14s of the satellite team could have the engine of the 15
        If you don't understand this maybe it's better that you learn something before writing articles...

        14 April 2015 at the 16: 29

        I don't write articles but comments...

        Tony the GP 14.3 had parts of the GP15 also the GP 14.2 had parts of the GP15 and if you want to believe it or not also the GP 14.1 and 14

        And they assemble parts in common even between different houses...
        Suspension control unit... in short, something is left, it's not a blank sheet of paper.

        The GP14.3 was a mix of the previous bikes, but and I believe Dall'Igna said this, it was already fitted with components such as the swingarm of the GP15 or in any case adaptations which reproduced its behavior at chassis level or solutions which were then implemented on the GP15.

        These are prototypes obviously, but all these bikes have details that recur, even if the GP15 certainly made big steps forward from the GP14, but in fact there were the 14.1, the 14.2 and the 14.3 in between but it's not like it's 100% new or different.

        I don't remember if the satellite teams have a GP14.2, a GP14.1 and a GP14. I don't remember well, in theory maybe Hernandez has Iannone's GP14.2, while Petrucci maybe the 14.1 and the others the 14? Possible?

        I agree with you about the fact that the GP14.1 and 14 do not have the current engine and perhaps not even the one from last season that Dovizioso and Iannone had at the end or if they do have it perhaps it is not in the same final configuration.

        14 April 2015 at the 16: 35

        The engine of the GP15 is new, as is that of Yamaha, as is that of Honda, as is that of Suzuki, which can certainly be defined as a new engine given that it has a different configuration from when they retired years ago...

        However, all these engines are evolutions created from the know-how available and from the steps that Ducati was able to take in races during the season, directly on the track.

        Even if the engine is different and runs in reverse and works better, it is still an evolution, it has certainly changed much more than that of Honda and Yamaha, but I don't like to use the term blank sheet of paper, the Ducati GP15 is still always a rearranged evolution of what they did before and it certainly works much better.

        14 April 2015 at the 18: 03

        the only thing they tested before on the 14 is the control unit, for the rest there is no identical screw, they are the same only that they are internal combustion engines...
        but if you are convinced that it is an evolution I will let you believe it

        14 April 2015 at the 20: 37

        Tony, go read Dall'Igna's statements, but in your opinion, did they do the 14.3 just to do something in the tests at the beginning of the year at Sepang1??

        It is clear that those tests were carried out in relation to the GP15 which was not yet ready, but they tested what was ready and also tested future developments.

        Ducati's laboratory bikes have always served this purpose, to build the new bike, but Yamaha and Honda also do the same, building on the previous basis, they don't reinvent everything from A to Z every year...

        They don't change 100% of the details...

     7. Lyon66 said:

        14 April 2015 at the 23: 01

        In fact, Dall'Igna said a week ago that he didn't start from scratch but started from an already existing base...

  ..talking about the braking between Dovizioso and Valentino..
  where they don't lie down for a short time..
  ..on the Gazza Dovi says that this is too risky..that Vale shouldn't have braked like that..
  did I misunderstand?..if they had touched each other since the blame would be on the person in front on the right trajectory..
  ..I hope it's the journalist who reported it wrong..

     Dovizioso said that there are some details to sort out, one of which is the braking
     because of this detail he risked a lot on that occasion and almost took valentino, he said very humbly that it would have been unfair for both of them if an accident had occurred... that's all
