The fact that he always explains these with so much passion just makes me even more passionate about the tech of MotoGP, not just the racing.

[MartinMcMartin]

Simon is a legend giving us this series.

This has to be the best video on the Internet explaining slipper clutches and engine braking correctly! Simon, you are a treasure! Thank you, you make MotoGP better!

[Its_motion_media]

I dread the thought of MotoGP without Simon. His trackside insight and these Tech Talks are honestly my favourites

[LittleDarkOne]

Crafar is one of the best things to happen in motogp commentary. His passion and knowledge is incredible and he gets better every year. Please keep these going.

Thank you Simon, I love these tech talks from you.
So much hidden gems in these machines.
You are the GOAT.

These concepts while they can make perfect sense in one's head can be very difficult describe to someone else. Great job explaining it Simon you are a legend 👍

[anthonykhoo]

Simon Crafar is is such a legend.. My experience of watching MotoGP elevates to another level because of his presence. You can feel how passionate he is about the tech stuff. I wish I had professors like him during my Engineering days. Simon, we love you. Thank you MotoGP for this series.. Greatest show on earth!

Well done and thank you Simon, you always add colour to the complexity of this technically challenging entertainment sport

[Haunter_Vlogs]

wow! This is the best tech talk so far by Simon. The sheer amount of tech that goes into the motorcycle is unbelievable.

[speedilab]

for the people who understand how the mechanism on bike working they will understand what Mr Simon Crafar trying to explain but for those who are still learning how the bike operate will struggle to understand.I hope #MotoGP give Mr Simon Crafar the right tools or support to make the video more understandable on the future.

What would we be out here without Simon giving us the talks we need 🙏

[XO]

Dude! That's fascinating. So much balance. Bikes are awesome. Makes cars look stupid. Watching these guys ride just keeps blowing my mind. From 100-350km/h I'm half a straight? Fcking insanity! I love it. Makes me realise how little I know about riding my own bike.

[rodfernandez]

Excellent, thank you for this. F1 has been doing this for a while, and they take their time to explain the tech, the reasoning behind them, even the specialists and what they do with that tech. I think MotoGP should take a leaf out of the F1 book and this Tech Talk is a great start. Simon is just a master at explaining these things and his "specialist ear" hearing the clutch slip on gear change - just awesome. Please keep them coming.

[mkoehler]

My eyes lit up when I saw another Tech Talk with Simon. Ride On!

[bpg]

No it didn't get confusing because you explained it so well. Fantastic Tech Talk from Simon as always 👍

[JakeBarlow]

I've been curious about slipper clutches but never expected to find such an engaging explanation! (See what I did there?) This was legitimately fascinating!

[markg]

Can't get enough of Simon's videos. The best!
