Back in the day..simon was gonna qualify on pole, until mick doohan has a last lap superhuman effort to snatch pole. Simon was watching, standing next to the interviewer and responded by saying..”wow, he’s just great !” Simon, you’re a man among men..bravo!
As a Kiwi I cannot tell you how proud I am to see Simon doing his thing on a world scale. So good having someone who knows his stuff and has been there himself explaining this stuff in such a simplistic way. Excellent work.
Simon, when you started out hosting it was pretty rough. But you have become an absolute treasure. I'm glad that you and your employer stayed the course. I hope we get to hear a bit more from you vs last season. Cheers!
Couldn't agree more! Even when it was rough at first, I still enjoyed Simon more than Dylan. Now that Simon's comfortable, it's great! When he cuts in I perk up because I know it'll be something meaningful and worthwhile!
You can tell Simon rides a motorcycle by the way he explains the operation of a motorcycle and his body movements when he explains it. He was in an era of racing that’ll be missed. Plus, there’s some amazing machining work on that steering head.
One of the best things he brings is that the team bosses all love/hate him..cuz if theres a question a team manager doesn’t want to hear, you know simon is gonna ask it straight out. 👍
Finally after months, we are back to this lovely TikTok. What an informatife explanation, Simon! And what a gorgeous bike as well. Can wait to see Aprilia on the podium.
Thanks, Simon. Great video, as always. It's incredible all the things the guys have to be thinking about--tyres, fuel, traction, etc--as they're hurtling around the track.
Fantastic insight. Simon manages to explain the really technical aspects of the technology, and express it in a way so less technological people like myself can understand. Great job. Keep up the good work! 👍😃
Gotta love the Kiwis..I love to see Bruce Anstey being interviewed just before or just after he did 6 laps of the IOM TT course lapping at over 130mph..
As always, phenomenal work Simon! Would love to hear more about how race bikes are started since they don't have their own starter, and how the batteries in these bikes are kept topped off
This is so much better than the rubbish on F1 cars. Here we have Simon who was a top class rider, who is passionate about bikes, and who explains things in terms that even a non-rider would understand. And he gives us examples of what is happening as you ride it flat out on the track. I just learned that these bikes are unbelievably technical and far beyond a road bike, but I also learned very specific things. Simon's commentary at each race is also excellent. Please don't add an idiotic Martin Brundle pit walk and just do what you do.
@1:30 I finally confirmed MotoGPs gear/shift pattern and that it requires a leverl to be actuated to get into neutral. Thanks for englightening me about this once and for all
Please do a Tech Talk on the track limit sensors. Where they're placed, how they're triggered, are they adjustable for sensitivity, etc...? Should broadcast it at one of the races too!!
Fantastic stuff Simon! Technical stuff made simple.👍🏼 Only a few days ago I watched that brilliant qualifying lap of Mick Doohan, kicking your “Assen” in Assen!🤣 Do you still have nightmares?🤭 Cheers from across the Tasman!🇦🇺 Love your work! 👏🏼
I thought most engine braking was from the vacuum pulled , i would like a clearer understanding how the exhaust butterfly's effect engine braking . Great post ty

Love these Tech Talks with Simon. He really knows his stuff and has a great way of expressing himself.👍👍
He's for MotoGP what Joylon Palmer is for F1 haha
@@stefanoe.m.1540 Simon won races for Yamaha. Jolyon did not win anything, Jolyon just have a rich dad.
@@TheAslakVind I mean because of his role and character 😂👍
He's great, isn't he? 🤩
@@TheAslakVind Haha what a savage
Man I can listen to this guy for hours. More of tech vid pls!!!!
We've got an entire playlist on our channel of Simon's previous Tech Talks! There'll be more coming this season too 🙌
@@motogp great insight that we don’t normally get to see.
amazing tech talk! Simon Crafar really know how to describe all these technical terms in a clear, lovely and passionate way. Thank you!
That APRILIA is gorgeous, and i love the FAUSTO name on the wings.
Back in the day..simon was gonna qualify on pole, until mick doohan has a last lap superhuman effort to snatch pole. Simon was watching, standing next to the interviewer and responded by saying..”wow, he’s just great !” Simon, you’re a man among men..bravo!
"Oh dear. This tyre is letting go terribly."
The most polite rider feedback ever!!!

So good having someone who knows his stuff and has been there himself explaining this stuff in such a simplistic way.
Excellent work.
Simon is the type of bloke who is universally likeable, irrespective of nationality, because of his passion for the sport.

@brett..spot on 1000%
You can tell Simon rides a motorcycle by the way he explains the operation of a motorcycle and his body movements when he explains it. He was in an era of racing that’ll be missed.
Plus, there’s some amazing machining work on that steering head.
He still teaches riders how to go fast at many of the top tracks throughout the world
These are always some of my fave moments from MGP weekends - love Simon's explanations!
Really enjoy listening to Simon on these tech talks. You can feel the years of experience come through.
One of the best things he brings is that the team bosses all love/hate him..cuz if theres a question a team manager doesn’t want to hear, you know simon is gonna ask it straight out. 👍
Simon starts this season the same way he finished the last one, at the top. Very interesting and well explained.
Simon surely makes the MotoGP season a little more exciting
Finally after months, we are back to this lovely TikTok. What an informatife explanation, Simon! And what a gorgeous bike as well. Can wait to see Aprilia on the podium.
Hahaha, I heard him say tiktok too!
@@Motosapien46 Wasn't just me then!
Complicated technology presented in simple way to audience. Bravo Simon
Really enjoy Simon's Tech Talks! Makes watching road racing much more enjoyable.
Good to see him back.😁
Thanks, Simon. Great video, as always. It's incredible all the things the guys have to be thinking about--tyres, fuel, traction, etc--as they're hurtling around the track.
I love Aprilia.
I ride Aprilia.
I love Simon.
I respect Simon...
in that exact order.
Was expecting you to say you also ride Simon 😂😂
@@Josh-mk7ok 🤯🤣🤣🤣
Truth be told, I think love is just
honor+respect. So when I say
I respect Simon, I'm repeating myself.
Love his engine sound effects lol
These are really great. They help fans to stay engaged.
Well done, MotoGP.
VR46 in 4th, man he's something else, nobody can even match the potential of what this man is capable🙏🙏
So nice that MotoGP let Simon have his tech talk in and around their advertising agency.
These Tech Talk videos are truly awesome, so great to have you back Simon, well done!! 👍👍
Fantastic insight. Simon manages to explain the really technical aspects of the technology, and express it in a way so less technological people like myself can understand. Great job. Keep up the good work! 👍😃
Simon is such a great guy!!! Best man for Tech Talks!!
Simon is a straight beast … keep it up one can recognize that voice anywhere!
great info Simon, but you forgot to mention map 4.. you know, the map that slows the bike down until another Ducati overtakes it.
