Just thought I'd add that Duhamel was using the radio this weekend at the D200. Not sure if it was a one off strategy to discuss pits or if he will be using it all season.
yeah i heard that ooost cus when he fell off he told the pit crew wot he wanted doing to the bike. hey wots with the no speed limit in the pit lane? every one was jumping mad wernt they.
Maybe because it's a longer race. I don't think radios at the suzuka 8 hour would be a bad idea, for the rider to talk to the crew, not for the crew to just chat.
