Lin Yan wanted to cultivate this kind of confidence in Rysna, and this kind of confidence was actually easy to cultivate; the more you fall, the more you get it.
When Ren Fei and Lun Si were practicing, they occasionally fell, but Rysna hadn't fallen once in these two days. In terms of stability, Rysna was still very strong.
Of course, Lin Yan didn't know that Rysna was simply unwilling to fall. Who wouldn't feel the pain if this car fell?
If the boss said it would be deducted from his salary again, he would probably be heartbroken.
Lin Yan would definitely not let Rysna compensate, and Rysna knew this. He simply couldn't bear to part with the car.
The speed was extremely fast. After Lin Yan gave up his position this time, Rysna's defense became even tighter, but his cornering was still not good. This was Ducati's disadvantage, and for Rysna, who was just getting familiar with the race car, it was even more of a disadvantage.
Turn 4, another late brake, Lin Yan was here!
As Rysna entered the corner, he noticed the movement beside him and leaned his body slightly to avoid it.
He really couldn't compete with Lin Yan in late braking.
He decisively gave up his position and waited for Lin Yan to go wide. Although Rysna couldn't fully adapt to the race car yet, his awareness was still at the level of a world champion.
With this angle of entry into the corner, Rysna predicted that he would definitely go wide, because his braking was also late enough. Ducati cars were fast in a straight line, but fast in a straight line meant that their braking was normally later than other cars. This was also Ducati's unique riding style; braking must be late when entering a corner.
When Rysna first rode this car, Lin Yan told him to enter the corner late and exit quickly.
Rysna remembered this clearly. He had already entered the corner late, and Lin Yan was even later. It was impossible for him not to go wide.
The predictions of professional drivers were very accurate. Even Lin Yan could not break this rule.
Although Lin Yan was strong, he was not an alien after all.
When braking late into the corner and tightening the line, Lin Yan indeed left a gap to the inside line. Rysna decisively seized this gap and squeezed in. The race car roared past, a standard cross-line defense.
The engine roared. Although the overtake failed, Lin Yan did not give up. The exit of the new race car was stronger than the old one.
Rysna held onto this point and twisted the throttle to the limit, preparing to shake off Lin Yan.
Below the pit box, Viñales emerged from the pit box. He couldn't miss such excitement.
The battle between these two could be said to be the most technically demanding battle in MotoGP currently.
The two cars chased each other back and forth on the track. Ren Fei and Lun Si, to avoid collision with the two, had already silently slowed down and moved behind Lin Yan.
They were quite skilled at reading the situation.
From the tail speed, although the engines of the two cars had not changed, the aerodynamics of the GP23 were clearly better designed than the GP22. In the straight line, Lin Yan could not get close to Rysna in front because of the small wing at the rear of the car. Even slipstreaming was not possible, so he could only try his best not to be pulled away by Rysna.
Rysna finally experienced the joy of being a "horsepower dog." What was fast in the corners was not as good as being fast in the straight line.
The two red race cars flashed past the main straight of the finish line. The late braking zone of Turn 1 was clearly the place they would fight for on this section of the track.
However, Viñales guessed that Lin Yan might not be able to compete with Rysna at Turn 1.
On this straight, Rysna's race car had already pulled away from Lin Yan by a small distance. This distance would make even late braking very difficult.
Lin Yan also knew this, but it was meaningless not to try.
He twisted the throttle to the limit. After the car passed the braking point, he flicked his feet twice and pulled the brake lever with his right hand, his body suddenly straightening up from the car. The engine, wind resistance, and brakes were all engaged simultaneously for braking.
Rysna next to him made the same move. In terms of braking, the two were almost identical.
With an extremely powerful heavy brake, Lin Yan pulled up next to Rysna's car. At this moment, Lin Yan's rear wheel had completely lifted off the ground, becoming a unicycle.
The two cars entered the corner shoulder to shoulder. From the braking perspective, Lin Yan still had a slight advantage, but the specific outcome depended on whether Lin Yan could brake successfully.
From this distance, Viñales estimated it was unlikely.
After braking, Lin Yan moved the race car as close to the outer edge of the track as possible to squeeze Rysna's entry line, then tilted his body and began to enter the corner, following the standard outside-inside-outside line.
The two cars entered the corner almost at the same time. After entering the corner, Rysna immediately avoided Lin Yan and moved to the inside line, a standard counter-press action after being overtaken from the inside, still using the versatile cross-line.
However, this time, it was unknown if Lin Yan would go wide.
It was impossible not to go wide. With this degree of braking into the corner, not to mention Rysna, even Lin Yan himself predicted that he would definitely go wide, but his defense was very clever.
Skid!
He did go wide, but it was the rear wheel that went wide, while the front wheel remained firmly on the inside line, performing a two-wheel drift. Lin Yan put all the force of going wide onto the rear wheel.
The front of the car was on the inside of the corner, and the tail of the car swung out slightly to the outside, leaving a black tire mark on the track.
Lin Yan also had a knack for skidding.
Rysna didn't expect Lin Yan to do this. His race car had already swung into the inside line, and he was about to enter the corner, when he found that the road ahead was blocked by Lin Yan's front wheel.
In a real race, others might have crashed directly to force their way through, but Rysna wouldn't, especially since this was his boss.
He squeezed his right hand and forcefully braked inside the corner. In one corner, Rysna was outmaneuvered by Lin Yan again.
Of course, this move could only be used during practice. In a real race, it was not only dangerous but also likely to draw criticism.
