Summary
Jack Miller blames ride-height devices for the big crash at the Catalan GP that sidelined Johann Zarco, arguing they’re destabilizing braking consistency—especially at Turn 1—and forcing riders to brake simultaneously, creating chaos. With the Italian GP looming and Zarco recovering from knee surgery, the debate heats up. But not everyone agrees: Bagnaia, Bezzecchi, and Di Giannantonio say it’s more about the sheer speed and pressure of first corners, not the tech. They insist riders are all on equal footing and that braking from standstill is inherently tough—even on superbikes. While Miller sees the devices as the root cause, others believe the danger is baked into MotoGP’s DNA. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
