Issues with torque and braking too late were the key contributors to Marc Marquez's crash in the MotoGP finale at Valencia.
The Honda rider crashed out of the title decider on lap 10 of 27, having been running in fourth before sliding off at Turn 8.
The six-time MotoGP world champion says braking is one of the key areas which needs improving for next year's bike, with late braking on the current bike causing added risk. "From the beginning today, already from the start, I realise there was some problem, because if you check my stats during all the year, I start always good and today I lose positions. I immediately felt something.
"I was fourth, I saw that every tyre was more far from the podium, at one point I said okay go, and I was braking too late."It's normal, when you're braking too late, you can make time for one lap, for two, for three, but 27 laps pushing you have a big chance to lose the front."
