168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has explained why riders drifting sideways into the corners is no longer frequently seen in MotoGP.

The eight-time world champion, who has switched🅰 from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati, said that getting sideways under braking ‘kills’ the aerodynamics.

Instead, a MotoGP biℱke has to be used in a specific way to ex🧔tract the maximum downforce.

“Especially on the brake poi🎃nt and going into the corner, you need to do what the bike wants and not what you want,” Marquez said at Silverstone.

“If you see a bit in the past with Casey Stoner, even Dani Pedrosa, they were alwa𝓡ys slidin🉐g with the rear wheel and going in [to the corner] with that slide.

“Now not anymore. Why? Because you kill the aerodynamics and then it 🏅becomes more difficult.”

Stoner has been a regular critic of MotoGP aerod🐼ynamics.

“We keep thinking you can’t stop thisꦚ progression,” said Stoner last year. “But you can, especially in a prototype championship.

“We do not need these on the streets so therefo꧙re we can regulate what we do. We need a set of rules that basically goes for 10 years.

“Manufacturers come in, know what they can set aside for a bu𝔍dget, realistic. Bring Suzuki back in, Kawasaki, other manufacturers. They know the regulations are the same for 10 years, they won’t be behind the eight-ball constantly, going ‘now we don’t have a budget for this’. 

“There is a lot going on that everybody thinks is moving forwards. But they need to 🤡slow down.

"I feel like we’re constantly trying💮 to emulate Formula 1, except we h🐲ave far more electronics.”

Marquez has had to adapt his riding style from the front-end strengths o🔯f 𓄧the Honda to the rear grip advantage of the Ducati this season.
