Rossi claims Marquez is trying to help Lorenzo. He came to yesterday's press conference with a chart showing Marc's lap times and claimed MM was trying to give Jorge a big lead by staying back and fighting with Iannone and him.

Is Rossi playing mind games or just feeling the pressure?

When is this GP scheduled? There is one being held in MALAYSIA this weekend.

Cheers

Dani Pedrosa made an interesting comment the other day. He said in the heat the Honda loses some of it's horsepower and makes it easier to ride. It was stinking hot in Malaysia yesterday for qualifying and Pedro's got pole. Coincidence?

I hope you're right. But it may not help at the start before the engines get hot.

 

[the Ferret]

here's what he said

Pedrosa experimented with a number of changes made by his team based on information gained during the pre-season tests at Sepang and revealed that " the hotter temperatures are having a calming effect on the RCV engine".

 

[redbirds_imp]

I would imagine that Dani is referring to the warmer air temperatures rather than the engine itself running hotter. I think all riders would experience slightly reduced power since the warm air is less dense that cool air.

 

[the Ferret]

Yes that is what he was referring to redbirds..air temp.

 

[CB4ME_imp]

Thanks guys. I should have known that.

Aviation has a saying: High, Hot and Humid. All 3 reduce air density and Malaysia certainly has 2 of those factors.

 

[the Ferret]

Holy cow another exciting an event filled race.. Plenty more to come

 

[Cormanus]

What a very naughty Valentino.

 

[the Ferret]

Yep .... not good

 

[Cormanus]

Worse than not good, I think. Hard to believe it wasn't deliberate.

Rather spoiled the rest of the race for me.
