Yesterday's little quiz presented you with an accessory recently introduced in MotoGP.
It was necessary to respond to:
- In which subject ?
- What's the point ?
- Which team?
Clue given: revealing object.
Everyone obviously answered the first question correctly, carbon being known to everyone today.
For the second question, a few were misled by the circular shape of the objects and turned to the disc covers mounted on the bike to keep the discs at the right temperature. But a handful of you nevertheless gave the correct answer; trays to place the “front disc-caliper” assemblies when they are dismantled, which happens every time the driver fits a new front tire.
Finally, for the moment these custom-made bins can only be found at KTM (official team and Tech3)(Congratulations to Kenny Millot, Orel Grelier, Nuno Nuno, Marc Balabaud and a few others!), the other teams simply placing the discs and stirrups on the carpet on the floor or in any bin, generally too small. This confirms the attention to detail already mentioned by Guy Coulon (see here) who also gives us his opinion on these bins.
Guy Coulon: “It’s very good and the mechanics really appreciate it. There are carbon trays to place the hot discs, pads and calipers, which means that we don't burn the carpet, which is already not bad, and that the mechanics avoid getting burned or walking on it. . There are lots of things like that.”
