Re: Austrian MotoGP track (fheckerduc) Austria added the chicane before turn two after an incident there. Rossi nearly got clobbered by a rider flying over him after Rossi made it through turn 2....Cars, like F1, do not use the chicane.Fred H. -------- Original message --------From: clay velut <v2win.duck@gmail.com>Date: 8/25/23 8:28 PM (GMT-06:00)To: ducati@list.ducati.netSubject: [Ducati] Austrian MotoGP track Did a new "kink" get added to the Red Bull Ring track?  I don't remember the quick right-left being there in last month's F1 Austrian GP.   In any case it doesn't seem to slow Ducati riders. VR46 Racing (Valentino Rossi's) did very well.  I did not realize the team road Ducati bikes.  I thought VR46 was all Yamaha because the team uses Yamaha for the Moto2 support class.  I really don't understand how race teams and factories manage operations for MotoGP and support classes.  I see KTM and Yamaha in multiple classes. Ducati factory team doesn't appear to participate in support classes.
