Maaaaaaaaybe of course. But the same one over and over? Branch out a little.....

News sources are nice to look at.

I don't work for the MCAustrailia folks, but I like their work so link it often.

Rins versus Vinales: Why did you stay on track if you didn't have the brakes and you knew it?

This was my question as well. MV said he was adjusting them the whole time until there was nothing left to adjust. I get putting around to get some points but clearly he didn't slow enough to change the outcome. To me he should have pitted and told Yamaha the brakes are done. Save him, the bike, possibly other riders and not cause another red flag. Not sure what his crew would have said to him if he parked it but these guys are the best in the world, they should be trusted to make that call when the other 3 yamahas already had the same issues the week before and changed to Brembo's new cooled calipers. It was a known issue and to me should have been dealt with better.

Yamaha just announced a limited edition Petronas R1. https://www.rideapart.com/articles/440642/yamaha-reveals-yzf-r1-petronas-replica/

Nice timing!

Is this the same one that Fabio got reprimanded for? Yamaha: it was within the rules, it was a filming day for marketing. :laughing

I remember when Lawson lost his brakes at Laguna when the retaining pins were left out. He had to jump off at around 150 into a dirt embankment in turn 1. No air fences back then. The tech responsible was in tears

In "DAZZLE" camouflage, no less. Yeesh!

This was my favorite race of the season so far, just for that last corner, last lap.

Covers up the massive kidney grills that are the hallmark of new BMWs.

If I got handed a new M4, fugly grills or not, I'd drive it....

Where are the ugly girls in that picture? (Don’t get it :dunno).

I assumed that was a wrap. Is it a legitimate paint scheme? Screams late 1980s.

Didn't the 80's bmw m1 special editions have a similar paint job? I think they are where called art cars or something

No, that's camo because the car has yet to be "officially" unveiled. It was in the presser and the subsequent articles.
