@_JackAppleyard A lot of people are overlooking this but a reason for Pedro’s dominance in Austria apart from his skill is that the Red Bull Ring is KTMs home GP. They test here the most and probably have a lot of data and a very good setup for Pedro.
@TBNN93@Kaldrinx@matoxley Well, they can’t develop as much as other manufacturers because of Concessions. Ducati have improved a little bit nearly not as much as Aprillia.
@WayneHeenan@matoxley It’s their jobs to make speculation. They have to talk about something. But before pointing the arm out, any sane person that watched this weekend would point out that the tire doesn’t work well with the Ducati not the arm.
@LeQuickest@matoxley With front brake issues, yes. Remember when he went wide in T1 and lost positions to Ogura and Aldeguer? That was because he had no front brake, similar issues persisted with him and other Ducati’s as well over the course of the GP.
@aikotsuba@matoxley The special tire was introduced in 2025. It’s not that Ducati got slower, everyone else got faster; notably Aprillia and KTM because they have concessions and can actually develop their respective bikes. Meanwhile, Ducati have had their hands tied behind their backs.
@dirtlxrd Stupid penalty, Pedro was wide and the gap was there. There was minimal contact as well. And then people have the gall to leave racist hate comments for Ai.
Maybe Pedro you shouldn’t have overriden your bike and chewed up your tires 3 laps before the race ended.
@bikesontnt Martin tried to ride around the outside of Raul even though it was Rauls corner. Completely Martin’s fault, and in the end he ended up taking both of them out. There’s a reason why Ogura got a penalty and Raul didn’t.
