It was a fairly heart stopping crash,Melandri looks to have been dragged along under Pedrosa's bike too. One of the comments discussed by Randy Mamola and the other commentators was that launch control systems were putting most of the riders into these corners at the same time,whereas in the past, human input and judgement generally spread them out a bit more.I wonder if this might not lead to Dorna looking at the whole question of allowing these 'robot' systems and returning control to the rider in the interests of safety. With the next race in a few days Ducati will be short of at least one if not both riders,who will they get to replace them in the short term? Whos out there?,...McWilliams? anyone else? |
