Jeezus, he's got GP mechanics and it takes them three races to fix a sticky throttle?

Bring it round to my shop Marco, I've got some WD4O

I agree Monster.

Surely Marco isn't saying that the grip is spinning on the throttle tube, or the whole tube is rotating on the clip on?

Are we mis-reading? Does it mean he can't get full throttle as the position sensor is moving or something like that? This is crazy!

Personally I read it as the grip is moving on the tube.

Shame for the issues for sure but really Marco? You're SURE you would have been fighting for the podium? That's a bit much...

That was one of those thing on the ride-by-wire technology. I think it will soon be phased and replaced with ride-by-bluetooth... :)

"You're SURE you would have been fighting for the podium?" - Previous wet races would suggest it is possible... think back to Le Mans and Mugello. Whilst wet Marco was more than capable of running at the front.

I guess the hair spray they used to hold the grip in place became slick in all the humidity. Use some type of epoxy next time! Sheesh.
