I don't really understand 34 degrees 'out of place' - but I've not found anything to say exactly what he had 'done' (maybe didn't look hard enough!)

Right. That makes sense now - the description, not that it happenedYorick wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 6:21 pmImagine breaking a pencil. Twisting it through 34 degrees.

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
If MM hadn’t had that slide on the last corner there’s every chance he’d be on pole, damn impressive anyway. Cal going ok and proving Yamaha have issues with all but one of their riders

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
FQ needs to ditch that slow Yamaha, lots of yellow flags in both qually sessions which is taking too much away, not a lot they can do about it, thoroughly enjoyed it though

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
No one can say MM is afraid of a crash! I think he only knows one way to ride.

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
Saw something on FB about an incident in Moto3 qualifying - was it as I've read, the mechanics of the neighbouring garage prevented the other garage's team leaving the pits?? Surely that can't be right??

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
Yeah that’s correct, they stood by him and as he went to leave they stepped in and flicked his kill switch. They’ve been given a two race ban I believe.

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
The question is, why did they do it? They wouldn't have without being told surely?

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
Biaggi has condemned it and they’re his team members. I’d ban them for life tbh as it’s a dumb move

Biaggi is an interesting chap.
But he wouldn't stoop so low.

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
Cal is faster than the all-time record holder.
Hmmm
Maybe those hole shot devices and suspension lowering thingies are shit?

Re: Marquez is Back At Aragon
Exactly this! I’ve been thinking the same and can’t fathom why they’d do it off their own backs, and 3 of them by the looks of it. The initial two who you see approach the bike and then when they walk away there seems to be a third mechanic appear and walk over almost laughing it off, just as the KTM mechanic has a go at him.
I hope it’s being investigated.
If I were the mechanic I’d have kicked the fuckers in the balls.
