Hayden got boned twice in practice and qualifying, and in at least 2 races last year. Any hard luck at all is going to effect the results each weekend and for the championship.

Riders will no doubt choose safer electronics settings and probably pick and choose their passes carefully. All but Depuniet who will go all out till he cant go anymore...Smooth riders that stay outta trouble may outpace the aliens. Especially if the only go a few lapse of practice to save the engine. The extra track time will mean nothing against riders who have good setups and experience for prior years tho

Yes I believe you can freshen the engines but alot of these prototype engines have very exact tolerances and once you start milling away the ctlinders they get week. Heaven forbid you crack the head of block, put a rod into the cyl wall. I dunno what kind of parts are covered either. mean titanium valves and valve springs get used up real quick, crank bearings and pistion pins see alot of abuse at 17000 rpm. Cranks and cams get worn at a frightful pace. Imagine a crank seizing while leaned over at 140?

Well hopefully this means friendlier racing, I hate seeing people get bumped off.
And by that what I really mean to say is I want to Rossi beat everyone with a 30+sec gap fair n square. |

Some of the best racing is when there is bumping!
