From the results link "The race was really over for me before turn one because the clutch overheated off the line. It was no one’s fault; we checked the data and my practice starts are identical to my race starts. We checked the clutch and there is nothing wrong with it, it just overheated and took over two laps to cool down enough to give it 100%" Let the conspiracy theorists go wild again. Coincidence is one thing. Repeated coincidences on the other hand... Poor Ben Spies.

The Yamaha has a single cylinder bank so the crank case is wider but that seems to have no negative effect on handling. The Honda just has more power, Yamaha has almost always been a step behind them in that area. Technically, they are both V configurations so far as firing order and primary balance is concerned.

He did make the final pass in the curves. Before anyone jumps on my comments about the speed of the Honda, I also want to give Pedrosa the credit he deserves.

I'm impressed. The Honda's clear speed advantage may give him the edge he needs to win the championship. Today's race was the best I've seen in a couple of years. Let's hope the remaining races are all like this. Pedrosa is definitely riding his best ever. I’m impressed. The Honda’s clear speed advantage may give him the edge he needs to win the championship.
