Pace and style
Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +1.60% | 1.21–1.95 | 46/54 | 28 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +1.63% | 1.09–2.16 | 41/54 | 23 |
| Long run (practice) | +1.73% | 1.27–2.74 | 43/59 | 27 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +1.26% | 0.82–1.86 | 33/60 | 68 |
Percentage above the fastest rider of each session (median over all their sessions): 0% would mean always being the fastest. The usual range goes from their good quartile to their bad one. Rank: among all riders with enough data.
Style
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency (pace variation) | 0.32% | 0.24–0.37 | 37/54 | 21 |
| Places gained grid → finish | +2.00 | -1.00–5.00 | 37/82 | 73 |
| Hides pace for qualifying | +0.17 | -0.46–0.54 | 12/49 | 21 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.23 | — | 6/43 | 23 |
| Races better than qualifies | −0.48 | -2.61–1.18 | 38/74 | 59 |
| Top speed | 361.2 km/h | — | 25/64 | 2126 |
Descriptive: how the rider has done so far, not a prediction. "Hides pace" is not very stable from one year to the next: always look at the usual range.

Tyres
Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.060 | 0.027–0.077 | 52/54 | 21 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.038 | 0.009–0.056 | 51/54 | 21 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.

★ = chose the minority compound. Degradation includes fuel and traffic: only compare within the same race.
Circuits, team and injuries
Strongest and weakest circuits
Over one lap · Strong at: RSM (+0.62)
In races · Strong at: ITA (+0.52), RSM (+0.37)
Affinity: how much better (+) or worse (−) the rider performs at this circuit versus their own average, in percentage points of gap. Only cases with enough signal are shown.
Against the teammate
| Season | Team | Teammate | Race | Grid | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | San Carlo Honda Gresini | Alvaro Bautista | 1–17 | 1–17 | 43–178 |
Who finishes ahead in the races both started; a retirement loses to a classified finish. With fewer than 8 races together it is only indicative.
