    Awesome information. You just don't hear this stuff by watching racing on TV. I endurance raced in America for 9 years, and only had a tire sponsorship 1 year. You can just imagine how empty my bank account was after 9 years.Thanks again for the great video!

One notable rider ran in British championship because his dad payed for it, even though he was dead slow. It was a pity although think he dropped to stock thousand this year.

      I agree. Just look how good Simon Crafar is nailing his commentary these days (after a deep end start) He really compliments the other two guys in the box feeding knowledgeable bits of information from pit lane and track side the other two feed off. He's also cool and calm when things go pear shaped. An example I recall was when Michele Pirro had that massive crash on the Mugello straight in 2018. He's also a qualified bike mechanic and worked as a Ohlins Race tech after he retired from racing.

    Do the suspension guys confer with the other suspension guys? most motogp run Ohlins, so there is a lot of information being passed to the technician. the teams are very secretive about how they develop their bikes so i cant imagine they'd want their ohlins guys telling a rival teams ohlins guy their riders setup. I suppose, on different manufacturers the settings arent transferable.

Seems like bike racing has gone the same way as football, all the money is in MotoGP/Premier League and very little filters down.

      Good question! It depends on the team, the official teams will have someone they can contact. Even if they’re in a non factory team and they have a problem they’ll still probably be able to contact someone as it wouldn’t look good on the manufacturer if the bike kept breaking.

    Interesting insight , now why do think that riders like Peter Hickman , Michael Dunlop ect dont do better at tracks because i cant my head around that they are so fast around the tt yet cant seem to transform this to bsb ect .

    • @martynflynn8368
      @martynflynn8368 4 года назад +1

      Yeah, I've often wondered at that, some legendary tt performers were pretty much back of the pack on the circuits. Dave Jeffries, incredible tt racer but never did much on shorts, McGuiness also, Dunlops, the list goes on, to be honest I think Hickman is one of the more successful short track riders.

      It's a difficult question to answer but the easiest answer would be that the disciplines although similar are still quite different.

      In BSB there isn’t any prize money so it just comes from sponsors, I’m not sure how it works in MotoGP on that front.

    How do teams know what rider to have for the new season do teams have rider scouts and how do teams find good talent?

    • @tmac77
      @tmac77  4 года назад +2

      The short answer is they look at last weekends race results 95% of the time 😂 they don't generally have rider scouts it'll just be the team managers decision, if they're picking an up and coming rider it's generally just from who ever is performing well in the class below.

    Why do teams run two bikes and therefore split the budget in two? Obviously exposure for sponsors but if PBM ran only one bike Paul B could employ and attract a better rider/more experienced mechanics etc?

    • @tmac77
      @tmac77  4 года назад +1

      Good question, the answer most of the time is I don't know why. But in some circumstances it's for better exposure for the sponsors or because they don't want to pin all their hopes on one rider performing.

      There’s no traction control, but you can still adjust the engine mapping to reduce power and the engine braking system. As there’s less it’s almost more important that you have someone that can get the best out of what you’ve got.
