I think most of the bikes have issues running in traffic in regards with overheating the front tyres ()
Afterwards in post race interviews plenty of riders like Fabio mention tyre() pressures going thru the roof.

Well we don’t hear about it from any of the fast riders do we? And could the rotor covers, designed to keep them hot, be radiating heat to the tires?

They're coming! 15KG weight reduction and 7% efficiency increase. The Efficiency improvements they talk about are a pretty impressive. The development of Electric powertrains is far outpacing IC engines now. MotoGP's days are numbered. Enjoy it while we can!

New components and less weight for the MotoE 2022

Energica brought to the test of the MotoE in Jerez a new motor and inverter to reduce the weight of the bike by 15kg; here is a first analysis.

Well that was quite a nerve wracking Q1 and Q2 sooo many slides by all the riders

Fabio did a great job for pole his was the most stable looking machine all weekend so far.

Well done to the Pramac team 2nd and 3rd on the grid.

I like the layout of this track its fast flowing and wide.

Honda boys crying foul over the antique Michelins, Suzuki struggling. Hearing track temps could hit 70c!

MM ejected from the Honda. Biggest high side I have seen since the 2-stroke days! Man 3 sessions 3 crashes, 2 big. Is Honda trying to get out of the contract or something?

[CBXRider]

Let’s hope there aren’t any crashes tomorrow in traffic. The rider at fault doesn't just lose (his) bike but causes others to lose theirs.

MM out with the smack to the head.

Well done Miguel Olivera a superb win in the wet

Fabio did a stellar job for 2nd

Johann Zarco 3rd .

OUCH

Rain always shakes things up a bit, but still a pretty good race. Oliveira looked like Lorenzo out front, just silky smooth! Marquez crash was vicious, hoping he makes it back soon. Lots of racing left ahead but right now look how tight things are at the front! Once again cursing the NBC coverage here in the states!

In preseason Ducati, Suzuki & Honda looked like the teams to beat. What happened? Ducati & Suzuki are way off pace a honda is a death trap to ride fast

Ducati won the first race (granted it was last years bike!) of the season, I wouldn't write them off just yet. IMHO I would wait until they get back to the European tracks to draw any real conclusions about who is going to be in the hunt.

Interesting to see kTM getting another podium.

Naturally I am biased.

Bad news for Marquez. The writing is on the wall. Might be time to walk away while you still have most of your health.

It's like the third or fourth time he's had it. Textbook Cumulative Trauma.

Marquez has nothing left to prove. IMO he should walk away now, there is a big difference between having a bum arm/shoulder for the rest of your life (hopefully 50+ years) or having double vision. I know they have ruled out TBI for the time being but as many shots as he has taken to the head it has got be something to think about. He is still the GOAT, I am a Rossi fan but Marquez like Casey Stoner on the Ducati took something that nobody was able to ride and make a winner out of it.

I still can't believe no broken bones. Haven't seen a high side like that is a long time. Honda has some answering to do! Did they bring Pol in after that. Amazing things could go so wrong with TC. That rear must have completely let go like a snap.

He's a great rider but not the GOAT. That's why he'll be back. But I think he's missed his chance. If he is out half of this year. Even if he comes back he'll be a fool to ride that Honda fast.

I’ll never forget watching this one.
