Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

It cannot be said that all the drivers of the gp24 have been defeated. Peco is in the front, in the third position, only behind Qin Chuan and Ma Wang, which can be regarded as retaining a little face for the Ducati factory team.

As for the Beast, he dropped out of the top ten directly, and Martin's position was also very bad, coming in ninth.

Both of them came to the bottom of the rankings.

Xiao Zhang knew that the ranking in this practice session was not important. He estimated that in the second practice session, even if all these drivers did not make it, they would at least have no problem getting into the first group. It would be a joke if the gp24 could not even get into the first group.

With the waving of flags, the second training session officially began.

Many drivers who used to focus on adjusting the car rather than paying attention to lap times during practice began to speed up. For a while, the whole track was filled with the roar of racing cars. The most obvious ones were Beast and Martin. Their lap times were increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were setting lap times like crazy almost every lap.

I have to say that the Ducati team and their drivers' abilities are still quite good.

Ever since they started to make efforts, their ranking has been rising continuously, and they are showing a trend of breaking into the top five.

At the same time, the competition for the first and second place in the second practice began. Ma Wang's lap time gradually increased and he had surpassed Qin Chuan many times. Since the start of the second practice, Qin Chuan was no longer obsessed with setting lap times, but began to look for the best cornering route and continuously optimize his own route.

The route is not just about pursuing speed, but also about considering more things, such as how to save tires and how to avoid excessive front wheel heat. These are all things that drivers must consider.

Seeing Qin Chuan drop to second place, KTM seemed a little anxious.

In the p room, Pedrosa watched the eight-time champion's cornering video and analyzed it frame by frame.

They are old drivers and quite experienced. They believe that they will not lose to the eight-time champion in experience. However, they lack in one thing, that is the bike. Although they are experienced old drivers, they have not been in contact with racing for a long time, especially the factory bikes in recent years. Factory bikes are not only complicated, but also updated and iterated very quickly. Today's factory bikes are very different from the ones they rode back then. Pedrosa is okay, but Stoner has never touched one.

In this situation, it becomes extremely difficult to find an excellent racing line that can match the eight-time champion.

This is embarrassing, they have experience and can find the best route based on today's racing cars. They have Qin Chuan's experience with cars, and they have human experience, the two cannot be combined together.

Seeing Qin Chuan falling into a disadvantage, the boss and person in charge of KTM did not look too affected. Although Ma Wang was strong, he would not affect their chances of winning the championship this year. He was much less threatening than Peko and Martin on the standings.

As long as he doesn't threaten the championship, they are open-minded. What's the harm in letting him lose one game? As long as the championship is secured, it's enough. Of course, it would be even better if they can win.

ktm has been waiting for this world championship for too long.

With this mentality of the ktm senior management, the atmosphere in the ktmp room is tense but not depressing.

“Qin Chuan is still fighting hard. He is trying to learn the route of the eight-time champion and try to be faster than the horse king.”

"He followed the eight-time champion."

“He stopped trying new lines and started following other cars to break lap times!”

On the field, the two cars gathered quietly, and Qin Chuan followed behind the horse king, using a tactic that many drivers despised but really liked: following the car!

Qin Chuan just ran many routes, but he didn't find the most suitable route. The one that saves tires is slow, and the one that runs fast is not tire-saving. His lap speed has reached his current limit and cannot be broken through, so in the end he chose to follow the eight-time champion.

There is only one best way to learn a route, and that is to follow the car.

Before the two cars converged, there were drivers following behind Qin Chuan and the eight-time champion, in order to learn their cornering routes and then try to imitate them.

Qin Chuan has also embarked on this path now. He wants to see if following the eight-time champion can help him break through a little bit in lap time.

On the field, racing cars were roaring. An RC16 was following a cement gray GP23. The horse king noticed that Qin Chuan was following him and decisively chose to let him go.

Want to follow me? Sorry, no!

"In Turn 5, the horse king ran wide and let Qin Chuan pass. Qin Chuan also ran wide. Neither of them wanted the other to follow the car!"

"The whole circle of both of them is wasted!"

At the end of the second practice, when the car entered Turn 5, Ma Wang, who had been closely followed by Qin Chuan in front, suddenly ran away and took the initiative to run an outside line to let Qin Chuan pass.

When Qin Chuan realized that the Horse King had disappeared from his sight, he decisively rushed off the track at Turn 6 and also left him behind, trying to let the eight-time champion pass again and then continue to follow.

However, his wish was not fulfilled, as the horse king slowed down directly in the buffer zone after throwing it out.

Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran were speechless after seeing this scene. Could you two be a little more thoughtful?

The two of them together have eight hundred ideas in their minds, so even if they are acting, they can at least act somewhat similar.

These two people have already started acting in order to avoid being followed by the other party.

The two of them then ran away several times. Finally, Qin Chuan saw that the Horse King really didn't seem to intend to let him follow, and would rather not run himself than let him follow. Qin Chuan had no choice but to give up and started running on his own.

The time he followed was a little short, but he also learned something.

The two fought many times in the last few laps of the second practice, with their rankings constantly alternating, turning the practice race into a qualifying race.

In the end, Qin Chuan was slightly inferior to the eight-time champion in the second practice and finished in second place.

"Chuan, have you seen how this guy runs? Do you have any insights?"

Back in the P room, Pedrosa came up to ask first, and Stoner also rushed over anxiously.

Qin Chuan took off his helmet, took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then glanced at the two of them and felt a little confused. Why were these two people so anxious about the results of his following the car?

He first glanced at Pedrosa, then shook his head. "No, I can see his running style very clearly, but it's hard to imitate. We can't follow this path."

He had just been following the eight-time champion for a few laps, and the way he ran could only be described in two words.

Radical and desperate.

The horse king's riding style is very aggressive. The so-called desperate riding does not mean fighting hard blindly, but that he can turn over earlier than others in some corners. If others turn over like him, the racing car obviously cannot withstand it, but he is fine.

Some routes are very dangerous. Others dare not take them, but he dares to take them and can maintain a very high speed.

This is the opponent's desperate way of running, a desperate run with skill rather than a blind run.

Qin Chuan tried to imitate his opponent's running method and the timing of using some tricks, but his car could not withstand the opponent's driving style. He believed that his car control level was not inferior to that of the eight-time champion.

The problem lies in one place.

That's training!

Every rider has his own unique riding style, and each style corresponds to his own tuning. For example, riders like him and Qin Chuan who like the suspension to bottom out must have special settings for the front shock absorber. Even so, there must be other differences in the tuning of his and Peco's bikes, so they are not exactly the same.

Rumor has it that the eight Ducati riders can all look at each other's data, but no one can learn the essence of the other's running style through the data of the eight-time champion. I guess that's where the problem lies.

The route can be learned, but the style and riding method cannot, so he chose to abandon this route and go on his own.

After listening to Qin Chuan's ideas, Pedrosa and Stoner both nodded. They had to say that what Qin Chuan said made a lot of sense.

They were indeed curious about how their old rival was adapting on the track, and they could accept the answer they heard.

If it comes to style, it is indeed not suitable to be imitated.

"How about this, the three of us will study it at noon to see if we can find a better route."

Pedrosa finally made the decision.

The entire afternoon was spent in a tense and busy atmosphere inside KTM.

Everyone is thinking about the fastest way to run this track.

In this tense atmosphere, the first qualifying session of the afternoon began.

"Welcome everyone to the Stan Grand Prix of MotoGP this season. Next up is the first qualifying session."

"Twenty drivers from Group Two are coming out!"

Xiao Zhang's voice was heard in the stands, and the last twenty drivers came out to compete for two promotion spots.

Qin Chuan sat in the P room to rest, waiting for the start of the second qualifying round. At this moment, his mind was quickly flipping through the secret book given to him by the system.

He is indeed not as experienced as the eight-time champion, but the ten-time champion is definitely more experienced than the eight-time champion.

Qin Chuan's style is similar to that of the legendary driver recorded in the secret book in a certain sense. If I have to say, it is probably the difference between a master and an apprentice. The ten-time champion has never run on the Stan Station track. Qin Chuan is wondering if he can find a hint of inspiration in some of the tracks that this great man has run on.

To be honest, at his current level, there aren't many things that can improve his strength, but this secret book can always give him surprises.

After quickly flipping through some places, Qin Chuan didn't find anything useful.

But he was not discouraged. He had read this secret book many times. It would be strange if he could find something useful right away.
