Imagine sitting behind that while it was delaminating.
Would be like following a 500 2stroke throwing rocks at you. :D

I was just saying last weekend how they are always talking about problems with the tyres in MotoGP but nothing is ever mentioned about the tyres in Moto2. I know there is a big power difference between them, but Dunlop appear to be doing a much better job of it at that level.

Control tyres puts everyone on equal terms but it does take away competition.
