Hi mec,
Sorry I missed you. Spend a lot of ours in the F1-pit area. Like the endurance bikes even better than the GP bikes. How do you explain the speed of the MG compared to the more powerful fours?

maybe we will meet next year!?
speed of the MG: there are many facts that make the guzzi ultrafast.
# first of all, its the rider that makes the speed. the motobel and segarra team are racing all over the year, many races, since many years. they do have a lot of experience tuning the bike and winning an endurance race (spare parts, mechanics, rear and front lights, alternator or not,......).
# the MG does have a small lack in engine power. the big four do have ~ 145 rear wheel hp. but no one knows if they will see the chequered flag. this causes that there are a lot of competitors that compete with stock engines. our guzzi passes these bikes and the moderat modified bikes with ease.
# our MG race engine delivered 116NM torque. even the most powerfull fours aren´t any better.
# when you take a look at the frame of the MG (motobel, dynotec, our bike), you will see that the frame geometrie is heavily modified giving modern frame numbers.
# maybe a guzzi race bike does have better aerodynamics.
# there is a great number of MG competitors
