[kropotkin thinks...] - Silverstone MotoGP Friday Round Up: Why Grip Creates Complica

----------------- Has the resurfacing of Silverstone been a success. Judging by the reaction from the riders, you would have to say yes. "I don't think you'll speak to another rider today who doesn't have a smile on his face, because the asphalt is amazing, the grip is amazing," Jack Miller raved, echoing the thoughts of most riders. The timesheets proved that they were not just saying that at the behest of the Silverstone PR people. It took Marc Márquez 4 laps of the track to beat the best time set during FP1 in 2018, his time already faster than the existing race lap record. By the end of FP1, Fabio Quartararo was within a whisker of the outright lap record set in 2017. That record was beaten first by Valentino Rossi at the end of FP2, then destroyed by Fabio Quartararo five seconds later. Quartararo's best lap in FP2 was over seven tenths quicker than Márquez' pole record from 2017.
