Silverstone bumps

[Zarco]

I'd like to see them at Snetterton. Then we could compare how well Crutchlow and LindunR1 take the bumps.

Now who’s playing the idiot? Read my two posts again that I’ve requested for you to help you get your head around it. I’ve even highlighted the relevant parts. That should clear it up for you, or maybe you can tell me how perfectly smooth every other track on the calendar is.

Look at BSB today at Snetterton. Really bumpy entry into the 1st corner. I raced there last week it’s a fast, fast corner. It’s not causing the end of the racing there. You just ride around it / set your bike up to cope. I’m a rank average club racer with no support team and a few spanners, MotoGP are the creme de la creme with multi-million pound set ups.

They’ll cope, despite your hyperbole.

As has been said earlier the only ones you hear whingeing are the underperformers, and no, that doesn’t mean that I’m better than him. If his multi-million pound team are dumbfounded by bumps then maybe it’s time to go back to drawing board, after all he’s not the only rider riding that track and the others all get a billiard smooth track.

Maybe he could complain about some of the corners being too tight as well, or not enough run off, or the tarmac being too old, or something else that he’s whinged about in his time.

Having done about 3hours of riding today around Silverstone, I can whole heartedly say that the new surface is really good
There'a a few bumps at the end of the Wellington straight and into Brooklands, but the management team are aware of those and they'll be fixed in the next couple of weeks
The rest of the track is perfect, smooth and extremely grippy

No, no, no, no, no. It’s lethal. Any track that has even the slightest hint of a bump or undulation isn’t fit for purpose and should immediately be dropped from the calendar. You can’t expect multi-million pound factory teams to cope with that sort of stuff.

Graeme, on that basis, if as it sounds its still a BMX track in disguise can you suggest some suspension settings, it sounds shocking ..... ;-)

Or should I just cancel next Weds ?

I suspect you're better off on Roller blades or a Micro Scooter
Save you a fortune on tyres too
