Elias on a full factory kit... hmmm
Who bettter to test for a sprite little man than another sprite little man! Elias won't be the test mule though- Nakano will.
Nakano has the speed and the experience to translate it into development for the bike. Elias will confirm it with his 50kg weight. Pedrosa doesn't have to do lap after lap anymore.

Strict team orders? Based on the way all the Honda riders raced each other throughout the season its hard to imagine that it was all just a show. Have you got some evidence or is this another conspiracy?

Dovi is far more appropriate as a tester mainly because ELias' style is obscure and individual.
