A lot of riders do this at times.

Rossi was always hopeless in the wet, as was Pedrosa.

Fogarty had a crash at Donington in 1993 and that made him useless in the wet for years afterwards.

I think its tyres more than anything to be honest

Chunder you should remember that ride in the wet in the British GP in 05. The only one who could have stopped the Doctor was the Doctor himself, who did one of the best rides ever that day I remember

Current MotoGP riders are not allowed to ride a MotoGP bike anywhere or at any time other than races and test days designated by DORNA/FIM. Only designated test riders are allowed to ride the bikes at other times.

The best they could do would be to send him out to do 1000 laps on a wet track with a high powered road bike, which would likely make little difference due to the performance difference and different tyres.

Interesting comments regarding wet track riding. Moving the subject on a little, what on earth triggered Romano Fenati's fit of pique which has seen him sidelined now? Yoof of today, given such an opportunity...

I love the way it is not a good old predictable and boring series this year and a lot of the unpredictable and close racing is a great breath of fresh air and I look forward to the next few weeks of the title

I just see the similarities between the MotoGP and the WRC. The fact that we have so many people who are winning after years of the sport being won by the top three or four men and we are not wondering if the British can end the drought in either anymore

THe last time we had 8 different winners in a season was 2000 - Roberts Jr, Rossi, Biaggi, Barros, McCoy, Capirossi, Abe, Criville.

However this year we have had 8 different winners in 8 consecutive races. This has never happened before in the history of Grand Prix racing. (Since 1949)

Great ride by Marc Marquez on his way to win the Motorland Aragón round, thus moving away in the championship. He has now a 50+ points cushion against Rossi and Lorenzo.

A Marquez DNF in the next couple of rounds, and the championship will be open again...

...but, then the opposite happened: DNFs by both Rossi and Lorenzo in the Japan GP just handed the 2016 championship to Marquez!
