You got that anywhere lol?SectorOne wrote:The coolest shot of the year was probably Lorenzo while in a high speed corner, looks right into the camera.
I think it was Phillip Island.
Thanks some very good info there. I hope Bradley Smith is a good enough match for Pol. Pol is a very fast rider.eniacon wrote:With regard to the testing this week at Valencia. Honda, Yamaha & Ducati factory teams ran the the 2013 & 2014 prototypes, the 2014 prototypes in black livery to try and prevent any photographers from getting good shots of the aero tweaks. The Aspar team ran the 2014 Honda production bike in black with Nicky Hayden and Hiroshi Aoyama onboard, Nicky looked so much more comfortable on it than the Ducati he rode over the weekend.
Cal looked to be wrestling with the new bike, the front end is so different from the Yamaha, have to say I was hugely impressed with Bradley Smith and Pol Espagaro on the Tech 3 bikes. PBM also ran their 2014 bike during testing, Michael Laverty reporting much better acceleration from it.
With regard to the MotoGP video pass, its so worth the money..!
Yeh pretty amazing, if I can, I think I will go to Silverstone next year for the bikes. Should be awesome.Shrieker wrote:

Note the exhaust and the tail section moving about acting as a mass damper to make the rear end stable
I checked youtube but found nothing, it was a strange feeling because it felt like he was watching you sort of.JimClarkFan wrote:You got that anywhere lol?SectorOne wrote:The coolest shot of the year was probably Lorenzo while in a high speed corner, looks right into the camera.

No problem, I think Bradley is quite underrated at Tech 3, especially if you consider that he'd been riding the 2011 spec M1 all season alongside Cal with the 2013 bike. From what I hear though, Pol will be getting all the new developments next season ahead of Brad. Pol has a Yamaha contract, whereas Brad has a Tech 3 contract so that kinda sucks for him, so don't be surprised to see Pol ahead after a couple of races.JimClarkFan wrote:Thanks some very good info there.

I remember seeing it, now that you've mentioned ! It was as if he was looking through you rather than towards you. Was an awkward feeling, I went like "what the ?!?"SectorOne wrote: I checked youtube but found nothing, it was a strange feeling because it felt like he was watching you sort of.
Then he blinked and focused on the track ahead. It must have been a split second but the slow mo camera is fantastic.
I´ll see if i can dig it up.
I like Brad a whole lot more after finding that info out, and he never moaned or mentioned it once.ChrisF1 wrote:Thanks for the info about Brad, I thought that he was on a 2013 spec bike - good effort for a rookie season really.
Pretty sure it was Motegi, through turn 1 & 2. May be wrong though. Anyone find the video of it ?SectorOne wrote:The coolest shot of the year was probably Lorenzo while in a high speed corner, looks right into the camera.
