My feeling about this year is that Tertre Rouge felt more flat out than usual.
Using the pretty unscientific measure of how visible glowing brake discs were at night it looked as though there was a bit of a dab at the start, near where big screen on the outside is, and then it's flat all the way through - hence a lot of speed being carried through.
That said, was that a factor in the Simonsen crash? Would shaving a bit of speed off when he speared left have made a difference? To my, again unscientifically schooled, eyes, the issue looks like angle of impact, point of impact, at a speed which would have had to be a lot lower to make a material difference.
