Only Pol is at surprising place. MM look improving ( Honda bike also improving, I think engineers just needed a bit feedback from MM to address small things )
I just checked the results and I couldn't believe how it just went out of my head that he is regularly inside top 10 in qualifying.
Lin Jarvis has confirmed they have a verbal agreement with Dovizioso to ride on Petronas Yamaha from Misano onwards, while Franco Morbidelli will graduate to Monster Energy Yamaha.
And even that is now considered "old news". Now I think most, if not all, bikes have the ability to lower the rear end while riding which they then use on the exit of corners. Most obvious to see that was in Styrian and Austrian GPs when exiting the final corner as camera was placed perfectly sideways. You could see them squatting down just before riders would open up the throttle.

Also, today in Misano
Do you know it ? Are riders acitivate it manuelly during racing or bike makes it automatically ?
But these rear ride height devices weren’t just helping the riders avoid wheelies during the race start. According to anyone that’s used them, they’re a big benefit during any ‘wheelie phase’, which is any time you’re accelerating hard in a low gear. That’s why you’ll often see the rear of a MotoGP bike squat very deliberately on corner exit. The rider simply presses a button and a mechanical or hydraulic system allows the rear to squat, lowing the centre of gravity. Any additional mechanical grip is also extremely welcome in racing. This means less electronic intervention and, ultimately, a faster lap time. That’s lovely.
