Explained: What is the ‘chatter’ blighting Jorge Martin’s Ducati?
Analysing the 'ch🐽atter' problem in Jorge Maꦕrtin's Ducati, and why it is so frustrating for a MotoGP rider

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s weekend at the Qatar MotoGP was blighted by chatter problems.
The Pramac rider somehow still qualified on pole position, won the sprint r🎀ace, and finished the grand prix on the podium.
Without chatter issues, Martin rec✅kons he can soon become unbeatable.
What is chatter?
“Chatter is, essentially, a frequency of vibration through the 🏅machine,” Michael Laverty explained on TNT Sports.
“It can start from the rear tജyre, it can start from the frontಌ. It is a frequency.
“It is so frustrating, as a rider.🅰 Y✤our handlebars start to oscillate.
“You don’t have g✤rip from the tyres, they are skipping really fast on the ground.
“Ducati have a mass damper in th♉e seat unit, that does dampen out the🍒 frequency but it doesn’t seem to be doing enough right now.
“It can come from suspension, damper adjustment, t🧸yre p𒊎ressure…
“There are lots of ways to dial it inꦆ or try to make it better for the rider.
“But there is no scientific🐽 method of how to eradicate 🐻chatter. It can be such a frustrating problem to have.”
Martin complained after the Qatar grand prix: “At the moment we have vibrations. I cannot use the rear brake and there a𝔍re some points that are my strongest areas of riding which I cannot use.
“Let’s wait and let the engineers work. I have done my🥃 part, now they need to do🐠 theirs.”
He added: “I’m not riding 100% of the package with the new bike.𝄹 If we improve I guess we can be much more꧂ competitive.”
Martin said after the Saturday sprint: “I don’t want to speak a lot about the problem because I don’t know if I can. But I had so🥀me issues which were the same as in the test.
“During the weekend it was quite okay but today it wa♐sn’t so we need to understand well and make a step.
“As soon as we solve that problem I can be much faster. It is what it is but let’s try to take t🔴he maximum out of the situation.”
