Dani can't get his ... back far enough cause it's been spanked too many times in Albertos bondage sessions

I thought launch control was supposed to be banned? Yet Pedrosa starts blindingly fast every single time. I have never seen him blow the start since Qatar last year when his rocket starts began to happen.

I believe he has something both Dovi & Nicky did not have on the sister bike. If it was simply power to weight ratio then why does Dani not power out of slow corners so much faster than everyone else? The same effect should apply but it doesn't.

I think he has had a launch control for at least the last year and a half that has not been made available to any other Honda rider. It's basically made qualifying irrelevant because even if Dani qualifies in 8th he will more than likely still be in the lead at the first corner.

Well, I think you misread the situation again. Since I have no worries about Pedrosa, I have no twisted knickers. I just don't get why so many others do get themselves into a twisted knicker situation over Pedrosa. And you can't say Pedrosa doesn't phase you cos you already attribute a problem you have with Pedrosa as a problem he is experiencing ........ when clearly that is not the case, indeed Pedrosa is probably somewhat ignorant of your problem with him, Each time Pedrosa wins ..... does he still have "his problem"?

Good point! And that would explain why he has won so many races. I would never have thought of that, thats a really brilliant point. But I never really knew Puig spanked his bottom before races either. I must read more I just have trouble wading through all this new information, probably why I've ner heard that before. Anyway thanks for that info Talpa, I'll google it and find out more about that race preparation technique for sure now.
