[kropotkin thinks...] - Barcelona MotoGP Friday Round Up: Grip Gone Missing, Espargar

----------------- Barcelona MotoGP Friday Round Up: Grip Gone Missing, Espargaro's Mindset, And Why The Ducati GP24 Is Suddenly Better Than The GP23 It is almost a ritual. After the first day of practice at Barcelona, the riders all complain about a lack of grip. Though the track was resurfaced in 2018, the grip of the new surface disappeared very quickly. The reasons for that are complex, including the chemical composition of the asphalt and the sheer amount of use the track gets. But whatever the reason, the riders discover every year that the track has no grip, and have to figure out a workaround for that problem. This year, at least, the track is no worse than last year, perhaps helped by the fact that the new Michelin rear has a softer edge to it, giving more grip in the many long corners around the track. But the change to the composition of the compound means it is also better able to handle heat, making the tires marginally less susceptible to overheating. David EmmettFri, 24/May/2024 - 22:57
