Explained: What is the ‘chatter’ blighting Jorge Martin’s Ducati?
Anꦺalysing the 'chatter' problem in Jorge Martin's Ducati, and why it is so frustrating for a MotoGP rider

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s weekend at the Qatar MotoGP was blighted by chatter problems.
Th💯e Pramac rider somehow still qualified on pole position, won the sprint race, and finis𝐆hed the grand prix on the podium.
Without chatter iss☂ues, Martin re🐽ckons he can soon become unbeatable.
What is chatter?
൩“Chatter is, essentially, a fre🍬quency of vibration through the machine,” Michael Laverty explained on TNT Sports.
“I𒅌t can start from the rear tyre, it 🔴can start from the front. It is a frequency.
“It is so frustrating, as a rider. Your handlebars start to 💮oscillate.
“You don’t have grip from the tyres, they are skipping really fas﷽t on the ground.
“Ducati have a mass damper in the seat unit, that does dampen out the frequency but it doesn’t seem to be doing enough right now🎐.
“It can come from suspension, dampe🅷r adjustment, tyre pressure…
“There are lo🔥ts of ways to dial it in or try to make it better for the rider.
“But there is no scientifiಞc method of how to eradicate chatter. It can be such a frustrating problem to have.”
Martin compla🤡ined after the Qatar grand prix: “At the moment we have vibrations. I cannot use the rear brake and there are some points that are my strongest areas of riding which I cannot use.
“Let’s wait and let the engineeꦇrs work. I have done my part, now they need to do theirs.”
He added: “I’m not riding 100% of the package with the new bike. If we improve I guess we can be much 💖more competitive.”
Martin said afteꦅr the Saturday spriܫnt: “I don’t want to speak a lot about the problem because I don’t know if I can. But I had some issues which were the same as in the test.
“During the weekend it was quit🦹e okay but today it wasn’t so we need🎶 to understand well and make a step.
“As soon🍰 as we solve that problem I can be much faster. It is what it is but letꦯ’s try to take the maximum out of the situation.”
