They programmed a clutch slip algorithm into the Repsol ECU. Didn't see that option on your poll.

I'm not gonna touch that poll!

But c'mon, why didn't they just put a slice halfway though one of his tires? It would've looked a bit less obvious.

Re: Repsol @ Brno: You call it.
All I have to say right now is for making this thread. I was at work, having not seen the race yet, taking my lunch and jumped onto the .org to see what was going on and planning on staying away from the spoiler thread.

And look, some creates this thread, with that title. Made it kinda obvious to me that Nicky would be finishing behind Pedrosa. Thanks for ruining that for me... Keep it in the spoiler thread for a bit next time.



Ok, end of rant.


And Nicky really fubar'd the race this time. 9th? what the hell is 9th? Hopefully this was just a fluke because he needs to get his ass up on that podium for the remaining races to end the year like a champion should.

just imagine if capi didn't have a super day, rossi wins the race and nicky has a DNF. nicky would be on the ropes with rossi on his tail and pedro right next to him. nicky better be careful next race (he has to win or finish second) or the championship is over for him.

Hmmm, would Honda let Dani beat Nicky on old tech, despite Repsol?!?!

Quote:
Hayden's Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa did not test today. The reigning double 250cc World Champion, who holds second place in the MotoGP title chase, will not race the evolution machine this season. Pedrosa prefers to race the conventional RC211V he has campaigned all season.

Re: Repsol @ Brno: You call it. **SPOILER**
why would nicky be testing a "new revolution RC211", when there are 6 races left? why not stick to the machine that has put him at the top of the championship list? isn't it a little too late to be testing a new frame/engine? i do feel that Repsol is trying "help" Pedro win the championship by pressuring HRC to give Nicky "new" machinery to test. If (And thats a big IF) Nicky looses the championship, he should come back to AMA and ride a Kawi with his brothers!

He's been riding it all season, in one form or another. The only benefit will be his ability in the future to communicate with his team to get a desired result, I guess.

Why would Rossi and Capirossi be testing new equipment for their teams?
Why on earth would any team have their top riders testing new stuff and giving feedback on it? Especially when these new parts will directly translate into performance next season?
This is an outrage.

if you wre skydiving, would you want to test "new" equipment while free-falling? there is a time and place to test equipment, especially when there are 6 races left and u r in the hunt for the championship. im sure nicky has time to test new equipment after a race or after he "wins" the championship
