absolutely love the content and Simon. Thank you MOTOGP.
Simon understainds so much of his trade, and yet, can explain very well everything presented to the most clueless tech person.
"can explain very well" I'm not so sure about that. He's a top nice bloke but his communication skills are not so polished.
@@lemonjellies4985 Simon isn't a dylan grey but he's doing so much better every weekend.
We need Simon for another 100 more years to educate us about motogp techs which are well kept secrets to the outside world. Man this guy is so good and passionate in explaining things, love him
I love motogp, but love this series more! Crafar is a legend
Love these talks, interesting to learn about the differences between the riders too 😁
Loveeee this Tech Talks, Thank You Simon .... 😃
16:33 Thanks for another awesome Tiktok, Simon! ❤️
Thanks Simon! This is what we want as a MotoGP fan 😁
It's always a pleasure to see and listen to Simon Crafar :-) Thank you dude :-)
you can tell simon is always super pumped to give these talks. He really is passionate about this lifestyle and it shows in his work.
Absolutely love this series. Simon does a fantastic job explaining it to a layperson like myself.
Awesome tech talk again Simon!
Would love a tour of the Alpinestars truck and everything they bring to support their riders for a race weekend.
There is no other guy who is more qualified to do this than Simon. Awesome job here mate!
Thank you my brother. Us motorbike lovers have got to stick together... It's so good to see how our equipment helps when the going gets tough.
Absolutely brilliant Simon! Hope this series continues on, and it keeps getting better and better!
Amazing how he can explain everything so simple, so enthusiastic and also in one shot... No cuts, from start to finish entertaining, informative, and with passion... Amazing all the tech talks, all of these elements are taken for granted, but the technology and research required is top.
Not a MotoGP fan, much prefer BSB, WSBK and roads, but this guy, I could watch and listen to all day. For what he doesn't have in presentational polish, he makes up for 100 times in enthusiasm and knowledge. You almost feel he has sneaked into the paddock and dragged a cameraman with him, it's brilliant.
I love this series, simon you are an invaluable resource to someone like me who loves motogp but doesn't ride. Thank you for being so frank and concise with every topic, thank you and your accent. Wonderful.
he's like a gordon ramsey of motogp equipment
Doesn’t swear as much
No, better...
Love the content.. huge appreciation for all the people working on it.. thanks a lot guys and gals 👌👌
SImon the best ! He prepares so well and explains it in a easily understandable way
Simon, you are the best! I love what you teach us and also how you teach it based on your racing experience. We want more!!
This is so cool, basically my favourite series on UA-cam 🔥👌🏻
RIDING MOTOGP BIKE IS LIKE FLYING TO THE MOON! LOTS OF SAFETY GEAR! SOO INFORMATIVE SIMON!!
Great stuff, Simon! Can't wait for the next one. Cheers
These are so brilliant man and this episode was way better and more in depth than expected. Thank you.
This series is incredible! More Simon please!
another good explanation by Simon, this is the videos that I love the most in MOTOGP, awesome explanation for a layman to understand as always !
I have been binging your videos. Wish I had seen them before. Keep up the great work. You allow to see moto racing / MotoGP behind the mirrored glass. Thank you 👍
Thanks for the tech talk! It would have been nice to have older gear to show for comparison, but you got the point across nicely!
That was so interesting! Thanks for sharing all this. It's amazing how much technology and knowledge is packed into those beautifully crafted suits.
The way that you explain things is awesome.
This whole series is fantastic. Thank you for doing it, Simon. Great episode.
Must watch content from Simon. Good work, thanks MotoGP 👍
Amazing video. I love this tech talk series
One of my fav tech talk!!! 🔝
Fantastic Tech Talk. Thanks Simon, keep them coming.
Simon is a good racer and a better reporter. With Simon
Thank you, informative. Great respect for bike racers.
Loved this, Simon. Thanks for showing us all that!
Simon´s Tech Talks is fantastic, please more and more 👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Simon, that's answered a lot of questions I had about that gear. Well done : )
Great video and loved how Simon explained things from his professional-rider perspective! If Alpinestars is reading, I have a question regarding Marquez's crash as depicted in the video (question below):
* I've rewatched many times the crash and it seems Marquez broke his humerus upon the front tire slamming his right upper arm (the impact was enough to actually launched him further so it was a massive hit). It seems to me as though the airbag doesn't reach down that far down to the upper arm where the impact occurred. Could Alpinestars confirm if the airbag did actually shield the front tire impact? And Is there any reason the airbags for not shielding the upper arms (fully down to elbow)? It looks to me like Marquez's hit was bad luck and on the right spot where there was no airbag or armor shielding. Many thanks for any replies!
Excellent information I learned a lot as always thank you .
good that they are adding more Simon Crafar on these You Tube videos. Actually learn something important.
I didn't know they used the Tech Air 5 also on track. I assumed they all used the Race version, which is more integrated. Great video as always.
Incredible insight. Thanks to Simon and Astars!!
Thanks, Simon Awesome overview
Cheers
Keep them coming
These Tech Talk videos and Simon are amazingly cool.
Cool stuff through a racer’s eye, keep on techtalking Simon and thanks yet again!
Really enjoyed that, as someone who had plain leather race gloves once upon a time. Remarkable how far things have come. Also, had no idea Simon was such a fit bastard! Looking forward to more of these Simon
Thanks Simon! Love your work.
Great walk through.
Thank you for all that you do,love you stay safe
Awesome video. More of these, please.
My Z Custom ventilated jacket was among the first to have the arms pre-curved, and at the time I didn't get why. After almost 20 years (and two renovations) later, I still love it. That's also when pre-curved gloves first began to be available. So some racing technology does reach us street riders. I just hope airbag jackets become more affordable!
Fascinating insight, brilliant!
Thanks Simon. Informative and entertaining as usual
Superb! Thank you!
SC's Tech Talks are great, have learned so much- has improved my own bike set-up, which is sound. My crew chief (I can pretend, kind of) is a racing hero.
Have also learned that Simon 'Cray-far' is 'in fict' ''Cray'fer" 'pir min himsilf'.
Look forward to more from the legend,
Kia koa.
That was a fantastic watch 👍🏻
Thanks Simon. Great work
That was a awesome talk!!
Simon the Encyclopaedia of MotoGP ❣️🙏
Thanks Simon. I enjoyed that, as I have always found the evolution of engineering and technology interesting. Doesn't disappoint.
Kiorra Kiwi brother from down under, or just across the pond of ya. Live long and prosper, Simon Krafar.
Thanks for the racin years too bud.
Very detailed video. Love it.
Hearing how old suits were, I feel pretty blessed even having my older generation suit. Its perfectly comfortable on the bike, yet also almost perfect off the bike too. Very mildly tight front but I can walk around just fine, hump isn't great for seats (I doubt they ever will be), but otherwise I could wear it all day. Boots are notably older with the bracing on the outside, squeak and not great to walk in, but all of the safety considerations mentioned are also there for me. Gloves have been tested in a 90mph highside onto my palm, the smallest scuff and I didn't even get a bruise. It sounds like I really take gear improvements for granted.
very informative!
Brilliantly inlightening. Thanks
Fantastic as always Simon👍👍
F1 also need to do something like this. Great video
i love these tik toks, keep them coming Simon
That was *really* interesting, thanks!
Holy smokes, airbags in the suits? Had no idea! That's epic
As always an informative TT from you Sime!
Nice video Simon, thank you for sharing.
Great info and insight, well done
Wow thank you for sharing a right position on racing track sir and also a good motor gear we use as comfortable in race
Another brilliant video.

Thank you Simon. 👍
Love it. These are really cool stuffs.
Top notch stuff, man and equipment
It's amazing how we can watch someone with a face mask on and we no longer even seem to notice, it just looks so natural now. Great talk btw, especially loved the boot 'insert'.
looks fucking stupid. NO NEED... hes by himself FFS
@@mranonymous9355 Sorry. Didn't realise he was filming himself and that the doors were all locked thereby preventing someone coming in.
@@johnforensicman6179 does he wear a codon to Jeremy off too? Lol
fantastic stuff
