#Waru does (and fails) to do stuff

[42bakery]

All of you are very aware that my brain gets very obsess with the most random thing even in MotoGP, and this time is not different. This time, it's about the rider's heigh and which is the talles team in the grid. It was prompted by Aldeguer coming to MotoGP and wondering if Honda or Gresini's line up was on average taller.

First of all, we need to see who is the tallest and the shortest rider on the grid. The tallest is Luca Marini with 184cm and the shortest one is actually shared by Jorge Martín and Enea Bastianini with 168cm each. Below there's a table with all the riders and their height according to MotoGP site*

Now, the next step is to look at the average height of the teams. Below the table with the results.

Turns out, that Honda has an average height )of 182,5 cm, which is 2cm taller than Gresini (which was my initial tough. It's also a contrast to the 2018, where they had the shortest line-up. Well in General Honda is know to be a pretty small bike and difficult to handle for taller riders, so... it's surprising they choose such taller riders. In one particular occasion, Dani confessed he even struggle to properly fit on the bike (I think it was the Honda with an 800cc), which is telling on how small they managed to do that particular bike/model.

On the oposite side of the spectrum, Tech3 has the shortest line-up, and KTM has the second shortest one.

This promptly me too look at the manufacturers data. In the current MotoGP era it isn't as important as it used to be. Before the development of the aero, the ideal height of a MotoGP rider was around 170cm (or 175cm, not a lot higher than that). With the aero, came more stability for the bikes, which allowed the manufacturers to make longer bikes, therefore taller riders come to play.

As expected, KTM is the bike who has on average the shorter riders, while Honda, despite LCR being on the on the short side of the spectrum (ranked 4th), has overall the shorter line up. (And if anyone is wondering if there's a difference between the riders riding the Desmosedici (Ducati) GP24 and the ones riding the GP25, yes there's one. The average height of the riders in the GP25 is 174cm and the ones in the GP24 is 179, which makes them the tallest in the grid).

Right now, none of this is really important, but the riders height does have small paper in the riders performance. Height do play a role on the ergonomics, and for taller riders it makes it more difficult to fit on the bike, but as I said before, aero did change that.

* We all know that the site is a bit wrong in this cases, but it's the official site and the one containing all riders' height (or most of them). So if anyone wants a beef about a particular height, please do it with MotoGP/DORNA. Also if someone has a more accurate site that contains all riders heights, please share so I can update this if necessary.

Summary of the San Marino GP Sprint race

[42bakery]

No one asked for this, but it came to my mind, so all of you will see this. Also sorry for mixing WSBK and MotoGP but I won't do the whole grid.

So here it is, Riders competing in the Summer Olympics

Maverick Viñales and Toprak Razgatlıoğlu both as Artistic Gymnastics. I think they will do all around events, but Mack will be a floor especialista and Toprak floor and parallel bars.

Franco Mobideli in skating. Do I need to explain myself? I also think Mig could be okay in this event. Oh and Nicolò Bulega is in there too.

Aleix Espargaró in Road cycling or Mountain bike because I'm not sure what's the difference between them.

Raúl Fernández with some martial arts, maybe Judo.

I can't explain it, but Álvaro Bautista is competing in boxing and he's a menace in it.

Taka is competing in some equestrian event with Michael Ruben Rinaldi. I haven't seen them much so I'm going with vibes and I'm saying dressing, but I could be wrong.

Danilo is in weightlifting without a doubt.

I feel like Tito and Michael van de Mark will be okay in the Sport climbing and for some reason I can see Tito being more sucessful in the speed one while Van der Mark being better in the combined

Fabio Quartararo, Álex Márquez and Garret Gerloffwill be in athletics. Fabio is marathon, Álex pole vault and Garrett throws hammer or shot.

For Iker Lecuona, I can seem him success in Triathlon.

Going for the aquatic sports, Axel is competing in canoeing in the Slalom modality. I can feel it in my bones. That or double sculls

Luca Marini in sailing, but hear me out. He'll do Single-handed Dinghy, unless Mig is with him, then Double-handed Dingly. Is that or archery.

Álex Rins swimming I'll say 100 or 200m free style or butterfly. Maybe even in 4x100 relay or meddle relay.

That's all (for now). Remember this is just for fun and games
