Mat Oxley In India riders were breathing air at 50 degrees in the bubble. Try doing that at home: heat the oven to 50 & run like crazy with your head in the oven. Tricky, I know! Anyway, Aprilia is the first to do something about this, with ducts routing 'cool' air into the bubble. 'Cool' air (30 degrees instead of 50!) comes direct through a large screen cutout. Duct is presumably 3D printed. #MotoGP bikes get evil hot: 300bhp engines, tons of electronics, which takes riders to the brink in races. It's like racing a burning hot oven for 45 minutes.

Mat Oxley Alex Rins - aiming for his first race in 18 weeks - is using the duckbill aero on both his RC213Vs. He has one bike with Honda's new aero, one with the old. And one with an HRC chassis, the other with a Kalex. He seems in way better shape than Motegi, where he had to give up.

Öncü takes lap record on Day 1 The Turk finished the day on top of the pile as Moreira and Masia joined him in the top three Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) found an extra gear on the opening day of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia as he went top with a 1:39.855 new lap record. Diogo Moreira (MT Helmets - MSI) was looking very strong as well as he took P2 and was the only other rider in the 1:39 club, just +0.232s shy of the top time. Leopard Racing's Jaume Masia rounded out the top three, but after an slightly more adventurous morning than the Championship leader would have liked with two crashes in P1. Matteo Bertelle (Rivacold Snipers Team) had another strong showing as he found himself in P4 on day 1, ahead of Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna IntactGP) who rounded out the top five. Former leader and still very much key contender Daniel Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech3) was +0.415s off the pace, but ends Day 1 in P6 with his compatriot David Muñoz (BOE Motorsports) bagging P7. Riccardo Rossi (SIC58 Squadra Corse) was just 0.020s further back in P8, and Stefano Nepa (Angeluss MTA Team) lost out to the SIC58 machine by only 0.005. Kaito Toba (SIC58 Squadra Corse) rounded out the top ten.

Acosta tops the pile on Indonesia opener The Spaniard bounced back from a fast Practice 1 crash to steal the show in Practice 2 Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) proved what he's made of on Day 1 at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. The Championship leader topped the timesheets with a new lap record 1:34.456 saw him snatch the top spot as the day came to a close. Before Acosta pulled the pin it was Aron Canet (Pons Wegow Los40) who was leading the way. The Spaniard heads the chasing pack after falling 0.180s short of his compatriot's time, with Sam Lowes (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team) also enjoying life in Mandalika to end Day 1 in P3. Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Team) was another who took well to the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit. The Spaniard just missed out on the top three by 0.091s as he took fourth place ahead of Ai Ogura (IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia) who rounded out the top five. Jake Dixon (Inde GASGAS Aspar Team) had a positive start to his weekend as he bagged P6, ahead of Fermin Aldeguer (Beta Tools SpeedUp). Aldeguer also made an incredible front-end save and was just 0.024s back from the Brit in P7. Albert Arenas (Red Bull KTM Ajo) takes eighth ahead of second in the Champioship, Tony Arbolino (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team). The Italian has some work to do as he finished the day 0.597s away from Acosta in P9. Sergio Garcia (Pons Wegow Los40) rounded out the top ten.

A. Espargaro goes top as title showdown intensifies It was advantage Aleix on Day 1 as he picked his Aprilia out of the litter to snatch the top spot with the championship leader failing to make the Q2 cut The opening day of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia has perfectly set the stage for what is set to be a barnstorming weekend of action in Mandalika. Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) took top honours in Friday afternoon's Practice as he turned his session around with a 1:30.474 after hitting the deck earlier on, and it's his teammate Maverick Viñales in second as he also spent a lot of Friday towards the top end of the timing screens. The headlines kept coming from there on out as a battered and bruised Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) took third despite an FP1 crash AND coming back from recent collarbone surgery, with reigning Champion and Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) more on the back foot after a late mistake sees him heading for Q1. From the gravel trap to the top of the pile With Friday afternoon's Practice session deciding who goes through to Q2, the riders spent the majority of the session working on their race packages before putting in those late time attacks. With six minutes remaining, all riders were in the pits ready to fight for the all-important top 10, and the battle was about to commence with only a few bankers already set. Bezzecchi already had his flyer in and was top of the pile after a heroic effort saw him move the goalposts at the 10-minute mark. But Aleix Espargaro had fire in his belly after crashing out of what was set to be a very hot lap earlier on, in the final five minutes he changed the benchmark time once more to smash the lap record and stamp some authority on Friday's running. With the Aprilia on rails around Mandalika, Espargaro was then joined by teammate Viñales as the factory Aprilia duo took the top two spots to demote Bezzecchi to P3. Another hurdle for the World Champion… Bagnaia was very much in the danger zone after leaving it to his very last lap of the session to put in a hot lap. With the chequered flag already out Bagnaia was sat outside of the top 10 but was motoring on, on course for a personal best. It looked as if the Champ's lap was looking pretty safe until a big moment in the latter part of the lap saw his flyer scrapped, heading off at Turn 15 after a moment – and Joan Mir (Repsol Honda Team) then also crashing out almost in tandem. Now with just a 3-point advantage over his title rival Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing), Bagnaia will be forced to go through Q1 with Martin comfortably sat in the top five just behind Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), who took fourth. Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) was next up in 6th. The Spaniard has been all over recent headlines after his switch to Gresini Racing MotoGP™ for 2024 was announced, but is proving there are still very much six Grands Prix remaining this year for him to keep pushing. Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP™), the rider Marc Marquez will be replacing, finished just behind the eight-time champ in P8, with Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) taking the final two Q2 spots in 9th and 10th. The Q1 battle On paper, it should be an easy enough run through Q1 for Francesco Bagnaia. There's still plenty of competition he'll have to contend with however, as Pol Espargaro (GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3), Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team), and Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) will all be eyeing up the top two spots. Equally with the Aprilia looking like a fine package in Indonesia, the CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team riders Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira cannot be discounted either. And with the whole grid covered by under two seconds, names such as Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team) and Franco Morbidelli (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) can't be ignored either.

M. Marquez to team up with World Championship winning Crew Chief in 2024 The #93 will join forces with Frankie Carchedi at Gresini Racing next year, who helped Joan Mir to a MotoGP™ title in 2020 Unless you've been living in complete isolation lately, it's hard to miss the recent buzz surrounding Marc Marquez's move to Gresini Racing MotoGP™ in 2024. The eight-time World Champion and Repsol Honda officially announced their parting ways just a week ago. Just before the Indonesian GP, Marquez confirmed that he's making the switch to Ducati machinery for the 2024 season. As soon as this news broke, one of the most pressing questions on everyone's mind was who would take on the role of Crew Chief for the #93 in 2024. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long for an answer. Gresini Sporting Director, Michele Masini, has confirmed that Frankie Carchedi, a Crew Chief with a World Championship under his belt from 2020 with Joan Mir, will be teaming up with Marquez in 2024. “I can confirm Frankie Carchedi will be Marc’s Crew Chief next season. We are still talking about the mechanics, but we will power up the team with one figure more,” Masini told MotoGP™ Pitlane reporter Jack Appleyard. Carchedi is currently partnered with Fabio Di Giannantonio, who is enjoying a fine run of form, while he experienced plenty of success from his collaboration with Mir during his time at Suzuki, including a memorable title-winning campaign. With the news, another piece of the puzzle falls into place for Marquez, as he gets set to embark on a new adventure following an 11-year stint with Honda.

“That’s not true” - Oliveira clashes with RNF boss as Honda links heat up Contrasting statements over the Portuguese rider's contract details came to the fore following HRC's rumoured interest The largest piece of the 2024 rider market puzzle fell into place on Thursday, with Marc Marquez confirming a switch from Repsol Honda to Gresini Racing. It means that the Japanese brand are now scrambling to find a replacement, with Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team) mooted as a leading candidate. The Portuguese rider failed to quash the rumours either, stating that “anything can happen” on Thursday at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, while he alleged that comments made by Team Principal Razlan Razali denying the existence of a release clause were simply “not true.” The Malaysian was quizzed about the possibility by MotoGP™ Pitlane reporter Jack Appleyard during Practice in Mandalika, and stated that Oliveira would be there next season, as there was no clause in his contract allowing him to leave to Honda. "He has a contract with Aprilia, a solid one. So he will still be with us in 2024. There's no such thing as a clause that says that if he has a factory offer, he can leave Aprilia or RNF. There's no such thing. As far as we know, he's staying with us next year." During his debrief with the media after the end of Friday’s runs, Oliveira was asked about Razali’s comments, to which he bluntly replied: "That's not true." Whilst RNF Boss Razlan Razali did entertain the concept that anything can happen in MotoGP™, he remained very confident of keeping Oliveira in his team. "He said to media anything is possible…Well, by saying that, yes, anything is possible, but as far as we are aware, he's with us next year." Razali explained that there is currently no 'plan B' if Miguel does decide to part ways, but said "if it does happen, we want to be very heavily compensated with everything." "As Miguel said in his interview, Honda approached him but Honda said it was Miguel that approached them. Then the story remains as crazy as always. That's what makes MotoGP exciting. That's just the way it is, I guess." "Honda is a big manufacturer. They're a big company. It's only right for them to go and approach whoever they want to approach. Saying that we don't have a backup plan and it's Honda, they can go and knock on anyone's door and they have to do it because they're such a big brand. They need to rise up from where they are now, so I don't blame them for that approach." With rider and boss seemingly at odds over a supposed clause in the contract, it feels like we haven’t heard the last of this one as Honda begin their search for Marc Marquez’ replacement.

From a Deckchair on the Iceberg If you ever need a picture of what the term 'Diffusor' means, here's your reference: An expanding duct (contracting duct = Nozzle). Air enters at V1, P1. Expanding cross-sect area reduces V->V2 and increases P1->P2 at exit. P & V = ALWAYS inversely related.

Mat Oxley Bezzecchi didn’t plan to come here, planned PI. Changed his mind Tuesday. Asked about today’s crash. “I burned my ass to save my arms.” Asked about racing here. “For sure champagne is a very good pain killer.”
