Kyalami technically speaking according to Frankie Carchedi, James Toseland's Crew Chief
"Kyalami is a high altitude circuit so all bikes are down on power. It's quite a tight and twisty track so no six gear long straights as in Monza so we'll modify the gearbox again for this. It's a very bumpy track so the front forks and rear shock have to be able to follow the bumps to get good traction which makes it smoother for the rider. We need a good qualifying result as it is a difficult place to pass. We tried some different settings at the Misano test purposely for this circuit, we weren't so fast in Misano with them but we're confident they will be perfect for here in absorbing bumps and giving good traction. The main changes are a different link and different fork and shock settings."

Kyalami technically speaking according to Marcus Eschenbacher, Cal Crutchlow's Crew Chief
"After the Monza race we saw that we had reached a good level of performance with Cal to bring here. We know the circuit is difficult because of the grip levels, the altitude and the bumpy track conditions. We will try to make the bike suit this by working on changing the suspension set up to be more comfortable over the bumps, we also need to find a better grip level, maybe we will have to compromise a bit of steering sharpness to get the best out of the bike for this conditions. We'll probably go for a softer chassis set up and softer damping than normal to start with and see how we get on in the first session on Friday."

Les Ducati ont montrées qu'en altitude et sur un circuit sinueux, elles étaient encore là.
Pour le reste : Belle course, mais j'aurais aimé un plus gros paquet en bagarre...

Biaggi fait mieux que prévu, sur un circuit qui ne l'avantageait pas.
Je surveille ça surtout dans l'optique du titre où il faut bien prendre parti pour un Latin face à cette horde d'Anglo-saxon!

Forza el Corsario Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax!
