The first salvo was pulled in Austin for MotoGP who betrayed a particularly bumpy Texan track with their behavior. A feature bluntly described as a motocross track by Dani Pedrosa. At Marc Marquez, we simply point out that the track has changed a lot. Is the secret garden of the five-time world champion now too marked by mole holes?
The bumps give HRC drivers a headache. Dani Pedrosa, who got angry last year on the wings of the Ducati, is, this time, back on the corrugated Texan prison which serves as asphalt for Austin: “ the track is incredibly bumpy. In certain places, these bumps are very marked, and in particular at the braking point to take turn 1. In turns five, six and ten, when you switch to the left, it is downright motocross terrain ».
After the razor blades of the ailerons, we can say that Pedrosa has the meaning of an annoying phrase. At the house of Márquez, we analyze the situation as follows: “ the circuit has changed a lot since last year. It is now very dented. We are going to try another tire this afternoon to better work on the settings and cope with these bumps.s ”.
He ends with a detail that is not a detail: “ I feel good on the bike and I did two long sets of laps with two different bikes. One with our known settings and another different. We will evaluate which is best for the rest of this weekend. We did a good job with the worn tires, we have a good pace ". See you this evening to see if so much Márquez, second, that Pedrosa, seventh, were able to progress.
