MOTOGP » Pedrosa, Honda abandon Brno test

A R - they could have tested numerous things on the bike. You don't have to be going at race pace to test the bike. The proof of this is the test riders times, none of them ever go anywhere near the race pace yet they are still being productive, are they not? They can test the durability/longetivity of the pneumatic engine for a race distance, can test new electronics, etc., etc. There are many things to test besides tires and besides trying to find a good setup for corner entry and what not that you mentioned.

I am told that there was no general agreement of control tires at Brno, and that both the FIM and the factories are annoyed at Dorna, the commercial rights holders and nothing more, calling a meeting to discuss this kind of changes in the sacred name of "safety." If Dorna want a control tire they have the right to propose it as a "commercial" matter and they have the votes to get it passed, but Ezpeleta doesn´t want to rile the factory teams that chose the right tire. This sounds like Dorna trying to get the right tires for Dani and Repsol Honda. Last year Dorna could have pushed the single tire deal through, but finally Bridgestone agreed to supply Vale and Dani, but Honda said no.

Dani Pedrosa we love You!!!!!
You are the best!
