Chapter 92 Reappearance at 68 Degrees

The standard to the extreme launch start, coupled with the GP22 under him, Lin Yan's starting speed reached its peak.

Downshifting and braking into the corner, he smoothly navigated turn one. After a flick, he entered turn two. During the flick, he could clearly feel that the factory bike's agility was significantly higher than the previous Ducati V4 SP.

Qualifying only offered one chance, and Lin Yan could not afford any mistakes.

With his mental focus at its highest, his braking and throttle coordination was also exceptionally perfect. The GP22 under him felt excellent to Lin Yan.

As Lin Yan started, Zhang Mingzhi also stared intently at the data on the screen in the pit box. He knew that Ducati's hope for winning this year did not lie with Rins or Ren Fei, but with Lin Yan.

He smoothly passed the first seven corners. On the main straight of turn eight, Lin Yan pushed the Ducati's straight-line capability to its absolute limit, and then braked hard into turn nine.

With a piercing screech of brakes, the front wheel of the GP22 was just inches away from flying off the track, almost scraping the edge of the kerb as it went.

After exiting the corner, under Lin Yan's aggressive throttle application, the front wheel of the GP22 even lifted slightly.

Lin Yan was indeed the most skilled rider of V-twin engines, his control of the throttle timing on the GP22 out of the corner was extremely precise, even the height of the front wheel lift was calculated with remarkable accuracy.

The front wheel touched down after just one second of being airborne, and immediately after landing, it was the entry to turn ten.

With a sudden grab of the brakes with his right hand, Lin Yan achieved an extreme lean angle of 68 degrees again at turn ten!

This was the second time Lin Yan had achieved such an extreme lean angle since transmigrating to this world.

The 68-degree lean angle data was immediately displayed on the race director's computer. The director, shocked, also gave Lin Yan an extended close-up shot.

The next second, on the big screen in front of the grandstands, the aerial view of the track that was being broadcasted immediately switched to a close-up of Lin Yan's 68-degree, ground-hugging cornering.

"68 degrees!"

"Damn, that's 68 degrees, and he didn't fall?"

"Holy crap, in this world, besides my King Ma, is there anyone else who can achieve a 68-degree extreme lean angle!"

"Perhaps this is the second King Ma."

A fan of King Ma in the grandstands saw this scene with disbelief.

The King Ma he mentioned was naturally one of Lin Yan's two masters.

That person who once dominated...

At first, they didn't pay much attention, but now the fans noticed that there were actually three of Ducati's latest factory bikes on the track!

Furthermore, the GP22 that achieved the 68-degree ground-hugging cornering had the Chinese flag on it.

This excited the Chinese fans. What did the Chinese flag signify? It signified that this rider, number 27, was very likely one of their Chinese riders.

Even with the factory bike, Lin Yan still left a space.

After the three-second close-up ended, the director was about to switch the camera, but the next scene made him doubt if his eyes were playing tricks on him!

69 degrees!

That's right, at turn twelve after turn eleven, Lin Yan achieved another extreme lean angle of 69 degrees.

At the apex of turn twelve, the GP22 under him vibrated slightly, but thankfully it stabilized in the end.

It had to be known that this was a factory bike specially built for racing, not a production model. With ample tire grip, being able to push the bike to this extent indicated that Lin Yan had maximized the performance of the GP22 under him.

At this moment, Lin Yan was giving his all. He was very confident that on this track, with full stamina, he was invincible.

Let alone Marquez, even if his master, the young King Ma, came, he might not be able to compete with him within one lap.

The number sixty-nine appeared on the director's desk. This time, the director, who had been working in GP for many years, paused for a second before reacting, and another extended close-up was given.

"This... this 6... 9 degrees."

"This is too outrageous, a 69-degree lean angle, is this something a human can do?"

"In three minutes, I want all the information on this rider."

"Why do I feel like this number 27 is Lin Yan, who won at the Isle of Man before..."

"Lin Yan? Now that you mention it, I seem to remember too. Lin Yan also achieved an extreme lean angle of 68 degrees at the Isle of Man, and he was also number 27."

Although most of the fans were MotoGP fans, there were always some who, while watching MotoGP, also paid attention to the Isle of Man TT.

At this point, Lin Yan's identity was revealed.

A world champion from the Isle of Man participating in MotoGP was another piece of explosive news.

However, just as Lin Yan was being given a close-up, Rins, who started second, crossed the finish line with a final time of 1 minute 37.974 seconds.

He directly surpassed the previous rider and moved into first place.

After Rins crossed the finish line, Lin Yan, who started seventh, was also not far from the finish line. After passing the last turn, turn thirteen, Lin Yan crossed the finish line.

1 minute 37.489 seconds, leading the original first-place rider Rins by 0.5 seconds, temporarily taking the lead.

As this result appeared, it also broke the fastest lap record for the Shanghai Grand Prix circuit.

If Lorenzo hadn't already started and couldn't see Lin Yan's result, his expression would definitely not have been good, because the fastest lap record for this track was set by him.

"Oh ho!"

There was a cheer in Ducati's pit box. The young master was truly amazing. Zhang Mingzhi excitedly hugged a technician.

With this result, Zhang Mingzhi was confident that as long as Lin Yan's physical condition was fine, he could definitely win the Shanghai Grand Prix, but he also knew that Lin Yan's real challenge lay in his physical condition.

Lin Yan crossed the finish line, and the name of rider number 27 also appeared on the screen panel.

A Chinese name, he really is Chinese!

Following the fans at the Isle of Man, the peak of MotoGP fans also arrived.

Even Rins was no match for Lin Yan, so naturally, there was no suspense for the other riders crossing the finish line.

However, Lorenzo eventually achieved a good result of 1 minute 37.966 seconds, surpassing Rins in second place, but it was of no avail.

Lin Yan successfully secured first place in qualifying, which meant Lin Yan would start from the first position in tomorrow's main race.
