How does Bagnaia deal with chatter? ‘Wait until it stops!’
"It's difficult to predict... But the thing is trying to avoid it by making less corner speed, or trying dif🤡ferent things"

A troublesome weak point for the latest version of the double MotoGP title-winning Desmosedi🍒ci has emerged this seasoꩲn in the form of chatter (vibration) issues.
Chatter - usually triggered when the various weights, stiffnesses and forces on a bike combine to create a resonant frequency - results in the machine shaking through the corners and, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia explained, there is not much a🧸 rider can do about it.
“Wa🅠it until it stops, more or less!” said the reigning world champion, who believes the revised Michelin tyres might be causing the issue.
“It's somethꦺing difficult because it's not a proper chattering, it's more of a vibration that comes from the rear and looks like it is arriving from the new tyre.
“But it's difficult to predict because sometimes it's in [turning to one] side, sometimes to the other side. So it's difficult to know. But the thing is trying to avoid it by making less corner speedꦰ, or📖 trying to do different things.”
Cooler than us👍ual temperatures are forecast for this weekend’s✅ Spanish MotoGP, which should increase grip levels. Could that also exacerbate the chatter?
“Cool condition means [lap] recor🃏ds, so it's good,” smiled Bagnaia. “Michele [Pirro, Ducati test rider] has tested here not so long ago and he didn't complain about chatter. But we will see. For sure this track looks like it could be grippy, not as much as Qatar, but grippy and I think our bike can suit it well.”

After winning the Qatar season opener, Bagnaia hasn’t🐎 been on the podium since, leaving him fif♛th in the world championship ahead of the Jerez weekend.
“Up and downs,” replied Bagnaia, when asked to give a score out of 10 for🎃 his feeling on the ♈bike. “Qatar, 10. Last two race weekends, 6.
“We still have some work to do.♍ I fully trust my team, that I know per💮fectly, and working together will make us great again. Fighting for wins. Like is our level. So it's a matter of time.”
Monday’s post-race official test could be⛄ crucial for Ducati’s hopes of eradicating the chatter, although Bagnaia revealed the revised concessions mean he is taking on some of Pirro’s te🦋sting duties during race weekends.
“They gave or reduced concessions [to each ꧋manufacturer this year] more or less. And to us they reduced,” said Bagnaia, referring to Pirro being unable to make wild-card appearances under Ducati’s ‘A’ ranking for constructors points.
“So Michele can't do 𒉰anymore the job that he was doing before, testing good things or new items in a race weekend.
“For sure in thꦫe Monday test, and already in the race weekend, weꦚ have to try different things.
“I'm trying always different things. And it's not a✤lways easy, but in the Monday test we have scheduled many things to try because right now our situation is not the best. And we have to improve.”
Despite the chatter issue - which all GP24 riders appear to have experienced, as well as some GP23s (underlining that it could be triggered by tyres) - Pramac’s Jorge Martin leads the world c🌌hampionship from Bagnaia’s team-mate Eneಞa Bastianini after three rounds.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc🅰 Marquez’s injury issue✤s.
