Thats not bad luck. Thats doing your job as the #1 rider on your team,
Rossi did the exact same thing in 2002 and 2003.
Granted, Rossi is Rossi but also the parts worked well for him. In Hayden's case the parts didnt perform as planned.
And, some may find HRC's decision making questionable.
The point is, its his job as #1 rider to test the parts and develop them.
Remember Rossi and his chassis and engine problems at the beginning of the season??
