Careful, according to Heuwen the riders are unloading in the corners. Must be a weight reduction solution.

Why do they use the old pit lane/start line and not the flashy new complex?
Not enough space for MotoGP, 2 and 3.

Because, under terms agreed with F1 / Bernie up until now (this was last year of that "old" deal, don't know about the new Liberty deal), other, specified series that "competed" with F1 on the world stage, were banned from using it. More specifically designed to keep MotoGP out of it.

Stupid, childish bks.
MotoGP has used it

He went wide at the penultimate corner to square it off and get on the throttle earlier, then went wide into Woodcote again to cut back to the inside. I think it was deliberate but worked because of Marquez spinning the rear up as he got on it to the line.

He has only ever had a team mate to work data with once, last year on the undeveloped customer KTM. First year on Speed Up and the other 2 years on Kalex he's had no one to pool data with. It might work, or he might push too hard keeping up with Marquez.
