The main topic at Mugello for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix is brakes, with a focus on Francesco Bagnaia’s brake disc change in Aragon and the debate around the benefits of larger disc sizes. Although opting for larger brake discs can enhance feeling and performance, it also brings potential drawbacks like increased weight to consider. Brembo’s Andrea Pellegrini highlighted the challenges faced at Aragon and how Mugello poses a different scenario in terms of braking requirements. Managing temperature is crucial for MotoGP bikes, impacting braking efficiency and overall bike handling, especially when switching to larger discs like the 355mm option. It’s important to note that the factory Ducati riders, Bagnaia and Marquez, have different brake disc specifications at Mugello to cater to their individual temperature management needs and enhance bike performance.
