A rise of falls in MotoGP 2011

Stats for the 2011 MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc seasons...

By Matt Zollo

The 2011 motorcycle grand prix season may not be remembered as one of the greatest, certainly not as far as MotoGP is concerned, but it will go down as one of the most accident-packed: There were 894 crashes in all classes during the 2011 season, the highest number since records began in 1997.

Falls per Year (all classes)

Season total falls

2011: 894
2010: 825
2009: 642
2008: 876
2007: 672
2006: 647
2005: 737
2004: 706
2003: 705
2002: 646
2001: 634
2000: 633
1999: 565
1998: 468
1997: 496

It would be easy to lay blame on the introduction of bike-packed Moto2 grids, or the high corner speeds of 800cc MotoGP bikes, or the tricky warming-up procedure of Bridgestone's control tyre for the high 2011 figure. But analysing the data doesn't indicate that any one factor specifically is to blame.

For instance, the second highest number of falls recorded over a season, at 876, was in 2008, two years before Moto2 bikes were swamping grids, and before the control tyre was introduced – although it was the year of Michelin's disastrous campaign, which may go some way to explaining it. Similarly, during the first year of 800s, in 2007, only 672 falls were amassed; lower than the 2003/4/5 990cc seasons.

More likely, the high 2011 figure is a combination of all three factors mentioned, along with what seemed to be an unusually high number of meetings with rainfall.

It must also be noted that until 2004 there were only 16 races per season, but 17 and then 18 per season thereafter (though 125cc and 250cc/Moto2 classes have never visited Laguna).

Falls per Category

MotoGP: 157
Moto2: 421
125cc: 316

No surprise to see Moto2 with the highest number, and MotoGP the lowest. This might partly be down to the differing experience levels of the grids, but in the main it is simply a result of the size of them: there were more than twice the number of Moto2 bikes than MotoGP bikes in 2011.

Falls per Rider

Calculating the average number of falls per rider in each class (based on the number of riders on each championship's 2011 entry list) gives a fairer picture.

MotoGP: 9.2
Moto2: 10.8
125cc: 9.9

Over the whole 2011 season, a Moto2 rider suffered on average only two more falls than a MotoGP rider (who admittedly did compete at one extra round).

It is interesting to note, then, that although still influential, large grid sizes and large speed differentials (often a handful of the slowest Moto2 riders post fastest laps some three or more seconds slower than the fastest riders) perhaps don't have quite as large an impact as feared.

The risk is there, however, and when Crash.net spoke to Franco Uncini, the MotoGP Riders' Safety Representative, about concerns over the potentially large speed differentials in MotoGP next year, he was well aware of the potential for problems.

“We will have big differences between the CRT and the prototypes on MotoGP, but we will monitor it. We expect a much better situation at the middle of the season,” he said.

Falls per Session (all classes):

FP1: 130
FP2: 127
FP3: 100
QP: 179
WUP: 71
Race: 287

Unsurprisingly, most falls happened during a race, and the least during warm-up (it being the shortest session will have a bearing on this), the same in each class. But while qualifying has the second highest crash rate, on average, for both Moto2 and MotoGP it was FP2 that saw the second-most falls in 125cc.

Falls per Circuit (all classes):

Assen: 78
Jerez: 71
Sepang: 71
Valencia: 69
Estoril: 68
Brno: 54
Catalunya: 54
Sachensring: 51
Phillip Island: 50
Silverstone: 49
Le Mans: 47
Indianapolis: 45
Motegi: 45
Misano: 38
Losail: 37
Aragon: 31
Mugello: 25
Laguna Seca: 11

It's no surprise numbers were high at Assen, Jerez, Valencia and Estoril, as all four rounds suffered inclement weather at one point or another – although Silverstone was also a wet weekend, yet features only mid-table.

With only the MotoGP bikes visiting Laguna Seca, that circuit's low figure is easily explained. Excluding Laguna, the average per meeting was 52.

MotoGP - Falls per Rider

Abraham: 22
Simoncelli: 15
De Puniet: 14
Crutchlow: 12
Rossi: 12
Spies: 11
Elias: 10
Bautista: 8
Aoyama: 7
Stoner: 7
Edwards: 6
Pedrosa: 5
Lorenzo: 5
Capirossi: 5
Dovizioso: 4
Barbera: 4
Hayden: 3

Moto2 - Falls per Rider

Most falls: Axel Pons (20), Ricard Cardus (19), Kenny Noyes (18)
Least falls: Claudio Corti (1)

125cc - Falls per Rider

Only full time, contracted, riders who competed the majority of the season included.

MotoGP - Falls per Manufacturer

Ducati: 60 (average per bike = 10)
Honda: 48 (average per bike = 8)
Yamaha: 34 (average per bike = 8.5)
Suzuki: 8

Again, no surprises here: Ducatis suffered the highest number of falls during the season, both overall and per bike. Although 48 of the 60 falls were accumulated by Abraham, De Puniet and Rossi alone, which shows Capirossi, Barbera and Hayden (the only one of the three to campaign every round) in a particularly good light.

Jerez to host 2012 Spanish Grand Prix

Tuesday, 27 December 2011
An agreement has been reached that ensures the Circuito de Jerez will play host to the Grand Prix of Spain again in 2012. Continued negotiations will aim to ensure the inclusion of the event on the MotoGP calendar for a further four years, as is desired and anticipated by all parties concerned.

The popular Spanish venue traditionally marks the first European GP on the calendar, and Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta is pleased to have arrived at an agreement with the city of Jerez for the upcoming season. "We are delighted to confirm that the 2012 Grand Prix of Spain will be held at the Circuito de Jerez, a very special locale for the MotoGP World Championship.”
“I'd like to thank the Junta de Andalucía and Jerez de la Frontera City Council for their support in working toward securing this iconic event,” added Ezpeleta. “We'll now look ahead to the future of the event and focus on working together to reach an agreement up until 2016."

The camera angle seemed to 'dull' the actual force of both impacts on Marco.

With the frontal area of a MotoGP bike and the speed that both Colin and Vale where traveling at, it would have been like getting struck by a Mack truck at 100ks.

I am not surprised something on the helmet failed, there is only so much impact force they can take, and this time the capability of the helmet was exceeded as helmets are designed to take a direct blow to the shell, not an impact between the helmet and the riders body which is where Vale's front wheel connected with Marco.

MotoGP is much safer than it has ever been but **** still happens, sadly its all part of the game.]]> Phillip Island Possible Spoilers karter@v8central.com (karter) http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=35748&REPLY_ID=671378 Motor Cycling Thu, 20 Oct 2011 07:48:54 +1000 http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=35748&REPLY_ID=671378 Quote:

Stoner is currently in a class of his own.


He's pretty much been there since 2007. He'll never admit it out loud, but it must amaze Rossi that Stoner could get anything from the Ducatti.


....and to me that shows just how good a rider Stoner really is!

The stats just don't show it.


Take a look at Valentino's stats this year compared to Stoners last year. Theres your proof

Not that, I mean if he was on a Factory Yamaha or Factory Honda sooner then he woulda won alot more races and possibly more Championships, he had to ride that bike to the end of it's limits which is why he was crashing so much all the time plus they (Ducati) didn't give him what he wanted alot of the time like they did again last year, He's the only rider to be able to ride like he did and push it really hard then also to do it sucessfully, And win a title plus a heap of races, 22 races or so he won with the Ducati, he now has the most in the modern era (800cc) so it shows when he's on the right bike he can dominate, But he woulda won more if they didn't stuff him around and not listen to what he wanted. He would have won alot more i bet.

Because they clearly are the two best bike's to be on, Honda is right now, But it was the Yamaha last few years. Good to see he left Ducati though.

He was great on the Ducati and it shows how good he really is/was on it. It's great to see he come from a Dirt tracker background in riding Dirt Bikes when he was younger.[:D]

To have a bit of a bad race and get a 3rd is great for Stoner. Thats what builds great seasons, and he seems to be doing this well, as when the bike is good enough, he dominates, and when not, he still is close to the win and picks up decent points. Will be tough to beat.


I wouldn't class it as a bad race, I mean it was a race in two...excellence to begin with and sub-par towards the end. He had a 4 second lead with about 8-9 laps to go and it was dwindled down by Lorenzo when Stoner started to lose rear grip and was beginning to spin his rear tyres from each corner. Hopefully, this isn't signs of things to come for Stoner as to how his tyres will perform against the Yamahas.

I certainly hope it is of things to come, Nah i hope they can atleast battle the Yamaha of Lorenzo until the finish of the Championship, of course with Lorenzo winning! haha [:P]

But if this continue's it is looking quite good for a underperfoming Yamaha ey? they are nowhere near the Honda on the Straights, But they look after their tyres alot better.

And Rossi will be without Jeremy Burgess at his home grand prix.
Due to family reason's.

===============================================================================

Rossi without Burgess for home race

"I'd like to wish good luck to Jeremy, who won't be able to join us this weekend due to very important personal reasons" - Valentino Rossi.

Valentino Rossi will face his first home Italian Grand Prix as a Ducati rider without crew chief Jerry Burgess this weekend.

A statement from Ducati explained that Burgess - the most successful crew chief in motorcycle grand prix history and at Rossi's side ever since his 2000 MotoGP debut - "has returned to Australia to be with his wife, who must undergo a series of medical exams and a possible urgent surgical procedure."

Burgess, who has won world titles with Rossi (7), Mick Doohan (5) and Wayne Gardner (1), is expected to be back for the following German Grand Prix at Sachsenring.

“First of all I'd like to wish good luck to Jeremy, who won't be able to join us this weekend due to very important personal reasons," said Rossi. "We'll miss him very much in the garage, but we look forward to seeing him at the Sachsenring."

At Mugello, the role of Rossi's crew chief will be filled by Max Bartolini, who normally works as the team's Technical Manager.

That place will in turn be filled by Fabiano Sterlacchini, who is usually the Technical Manager and Track Engineer for Pramac Ducati's Loris Capirossi, who will miss his home race due to injuries at Assen last weekend.

“We're very sorry not to have Jeremy with us at Mugello for our home race, where we'll have many fans in the grandstands," said Ducati team manager Vittoriano Guareschi. "We're with him in spirit, and we're awaiting his prompt return.

"In the meantime, we've revised the working structure in the box with the addition of Fabiano Sterlacchini, a very experienced Ducati engineer who normally looks after Loris, who is unfortunately injured.

"We thank Paolo Campinoti and the Pramac Team for making Fabiano available to us so that we can fully support Valentino for a very important race."

Rossi broke his leg in practice for last year's Mugello round, but had previously won his home event on no less than nine occasions.

The Italian has taken just one podium finish so far this year, although he holds fourth in the world championship.

The Italian Grand Prix will be Rossi's second race with the GP11.1 motorcycle, which combines the 2012 Ducati chassis with a new seamless-shift gearbox and an 800cc engine.

Yeah the power down was the thing Yamaha have been having alot of trouble with at the moment but if the Yamaha did have the exact same power as the Honda it would make the Yamaha alot more faster because of the power and that's what Yamaha need at the moment and Casey Stoner and Dani Padrosa was just flogging the Yamaha of Lorenzo down the straights which shows that's what they need.]]> Atlanta Reed V Stewart Trickyonne@v8central.com (Trickyonne) http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=34345&REPLY_ID=627151 Motor Cycling Wed, 02 Mar 2011 07:45:28 +1000 http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=34345&REPLY_ID=627151 Quote:
