A week ago, people asking “Who will win Silverstone?” were being given the answer, “Anybody!” The weekend was a thing of rags and tatters, as Ducatis struggled for front feel, the wind complicated everything, and both Márquez brothers crashed and remounted to finish third and fifth while Marco Bezzecchi on Aprilia won by four seconds over Johann Zarco‘s improving Honda.

When there’s rain, all bets are off. Serious-faced Johann Zarco kept wet tires on his factory Honda while others, expecting the rain to stop and the dreaded mixed conditions to prevail, switched wet for dry bikes. After abating, the rain returned, and soon Zarco was eight seconds clear of Marc Márquez.

Long ago I was a partner in a little Kawasaki dealership outside of Boston: Arlington Motor Sports. We started racing Kawasaki’s 500 production racer, the H1-R, in 1970, and in the fall of 1971 we wanted to know if the company would now produce a 750 for racing, based on the new H2.

Álex Márquez, after his brother Marc fell on lap 3, knew there was opportunity for the taking, even though he remained where he’d started, fourth, for two laps. By lap 3 the order was Quartararo, Bagnaia, and Álex. Some have hailed those early laps as “race of the century” level. But we know that experienced riders accept extra risk for the great prize of leading rather than overheating the front tire in the hot draft of others.

Marc Márquez on factory Ducati has done it again, regaining the point lead from brother Álex. Before practice Marc was reserved about his chances. He said, “I have only won one year here.”This has two basic causes: The track has fast right-handers that are his weak area, and his strength in his best years has been in “small” point-and-shoot corners that favor his brake hard, get turned early, and blast off riding style. Not many in Qatar.

If you look into a parts book or bearing catalog, you will see that bearing dimensions are basic: What is the OD, ID, and thickness of the bearing? The bearing type is also specified. A basic “Conrad” ball bearing is usually supplied with a two-piece press-formed steel ribbon separator whose purpose is to space the seven balls so that they cannot rub against each other. Cage halves are usually riveted together, but may also be joined by spot-welds or fold-over tabs.

At present it’s impossible not to notice the aerodynamic devices on MotoGP bikes, but 10 years ago there was no such thing; fairings were as smooth and free of “gadgets” as they were in the days of “One man, one cylinder, a Lucas magneto, and an Amal carburetor.”The first step (around 2016) was to try something that had been tried years before: little winglets on the lower sides of the fairing nose, short and stubby like the “turbulators” once seen on the upper surfaces of B707 wings.
