Marc Marquez Silverstone Crash Analysis

Image
Welcome back to WarmUpLap12 and we are going to be analysing Marc Marquez's Silverstone Crash. It was only eight laps remaining and Marquez crashed out of the British Grand Prix.He was tailing the nine times world champion Valentino Rossi on that lap and he skidded, slided and crashed out. ANALYSIS: Marquez started the race with both soft front and rear wet tyre combination and that is our main clue.The wet tyres cannot remain in optimum temperature as the wet tyres are helped by the cold water on the surface of the track to be cold.As the riders maintain their speeds at at least 210 km/h they can make the tyres become hot. Conclusion: As Marquez was trying too hard to maintain his gap between himself and Rossi, Marquez was not aware that he was making the tyres hotter and hotter then, the grip of the rear tyre became lesser and lesser and Marquez crashed out of the British Grand Prix. -©2015WarmUpLap12-

MotoGP Octo British Grand Prix 2015 Race Review

Welcome back to round twelve of the MotoGP World Championship in England. It was a soaking wet race and a nightmare scenario for the riders.Marc Marquez was on pole position and chasing his fourth win of the season. It was an unpredictable race at the start as the weather was dry with just some drizzling spots of rain.Some riders opted for the wet tyres while others gambled for the slicks. When it came to warm up lap session, the track became wetter and wetter as the raining began.Marshals had given the riders a sign that they could change tyres to the pit lane. It was unbelievable as all the riders went to the pit and changed tyres to wet tyres.So, race direction declared a wet race and a slight delay to the race as all the riders went to make a change to their tyres then, the race had been red flagged. The regulations said that if only there was one rider on the grid, the race would not have been red flagged.The riders could have been even more terrified if the race was started

Hi everyone welcome back to MotoGP 2015 preview of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Grand Prix.I think it would be an outstanding race this weekend. As you have known that it is my favourite circuit in the MotoGP calender.After trying the circuit in the official MotoGP game MotoGP15,I can feel that the teams will need good sets of tyres and a good engine.The circuits layout is different from last year and the circuit is more faster than last year so, I think it will be an interesting race to watch and I think Valentino Rossi will win! ©2015WarmUpLap12 Official MotoGP Website Friend's Blog
