Checa was the faster rider at that point, but I think he was at the apex too fast and maybe braking too long into the turn. If it had been only he alone it would have been only his problem, but to take out what would have the race winner was what I feel, a very bad mistake, especially for a rider of his caliber and experience.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes.johnghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524000221802996700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23035169.post-48622636914788400532008-04-07T21:54:00.000-04:002008-04-07T21:54:00.000-04:00Before watching the video, I was under the impress...Before watching the video, I was under the impression that Neukirchner had been t-boned, indeed Checa took the inside of the turn that the Suzuki rider had left open while trying to make it to the end in the fastest fashion. Unfortunately Checa low-sided criss crossing the other rider line. Going back, I am sure that Checa would have approached the passing in a different manner, but, as Jimmy pointed out, it was the last turn! Also, it's my opinion that it's very risky to pass much slower riders going into a turn because they will end up "suggesting" brake and turn points too aggressive for the faster incoming rider.Alessandro Matteucci aka Alex 555https://www.blogger.com/profile/09285774918099928601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23035169.post-66215141313771849392008-04-07T17:37:00.000-04:002008-04-07T17:37:00.000-04:00The trouble was that Checa was lapping much faster...The trouble was that Checa was lapping much faster than Neukirchner and caught him on the last lap, so it's not like they were racing closely and Checa went for a gap.

Last weekend he had an amazing weekend, totally at home with his Honda and taking down the leader of the race seems to be more an accident than anything else. Supposedly in both races he was the protagonist over several amazing overtakings, and we know that in motorcicle racing a small mistake often leads to a crash. Also they were in the last few laps and I am sure that lines and brake markers had become very aggressive leaving "less room" for passing. Anyhow the worst part is that the Neukirchner ended up with a broken collarbone. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sQpqifDTZc&eurl=http://www.motoblog.it/" REL="nofollow">Valencia highlights race 1</A>Alessandro Matteucci aka Alex 555https://www.blogger.com/profile/09285774918099928601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23035169.post-87643384988368431172008-04-06T22:53:00.000-04:002008-04-06T22:53:00.000-04:00Talking aggressive racing...

Personally, I think Toseland's riding has been simply aggressive racing and taking what is available to him when he can take it. Passing in Motogp is getting more difficult and if and when an opening happens, one has to act or lose it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I sure am glad racing is in full swing again and I do hope James T. doew well. This is a big oppertunity for him and he is very committed. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes Alex!johnghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524000221802996700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23035169.post-60889581432168575562008-04-03T15:34:00.000-04:002008-04-03T15:34:00.000-04:00Well, Yamaha seem to have arguably the best motorc...Well, Yamaha seem to have arguably the best motorcycle out there this year, so they must have a good mix of power and agility.

Supposedly it gives the rider more stability under heavy braking, so higher entrance speed approaching corners. Also, in cornering a lighter feeling allows riders in "arching" more versus "squaring off". In the last couple years the extra corner speed has been really an edge for Yamaha even though it didn't translate in a real supremacyAlessandro Matteucci aka Alex 555https://www.blogger.com/profile/09285774918099928601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23035169.post-45351596460745491532008-04-03T13:35:00.000-04:002008-04-03T13:35:00.000-04:00I don't know what Loris is complaining about, he's...I don't know what Loris is complaining about, he's a raving lunatic!<BR/><BR/>According to one TV commentator, Toseland and Edwards had the highest corner speed of anyone on track. I reckon this means Toseland has no option but to pass where he has an advantage, since the steel-spring Yamaha is so slow on the straights. (He's supposed to be getting the air-spring engine next time out.)<BR/><BR/>Do you think the other riders might be taking lines that compromise the corner speed so they can get the power down, while the Tech 3 boys have to maintain as much corner speed as possible?Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02698874857574769025noreply@blogger.com
