Then can you explain why when Cluzel ran through at the first chicane on the 5th lap of the 1st race (where they have the barriers that slow them down), taking him from 8th to 14th place, was then also forced to do a ride-thru? And when Rea did the same thing in the same place, falling from 6th to 9th, he was then ordered to drop back 2 places more. Yet when Giuliano ALSO did the same thing at the same place, going from 6th to 10th, no penalty was assessed.

Yes, actually I can. There is a distinct set of white lines that as the rider goes through the wall chicane, must ride through. If the rider goes outside of those white lines, they are assessed a penalty. The lines are about the width of a bowling alley.

So, when they blew turn 1, that was the consequence for going out of those. If you watch the videos, Chaz Davies didn't go out of that. And it is very specifically covered in the riders meeting apparently.

In the turn Tom ran off and back on, there are no white lines. It goes to the rulebook.

in an interview today with GPone at motogp le mans, nakamoto said flat out honda is not coming back to wsbk. its just not happening. they are commited to motogp, working on the for sale racer for CRT teams, and will not do both.

guess those return with a badass v4 were far fetched rumors after all

You are funny. He commits to a "FOR SALE" racer, then you think they won't sell one to the public? Seems like a nice segue to me?

He commits to five for sale prototypes, and Then says Honda isn't interested in wsbk. The motogp sale bikes are neutered prototypes, steel valves, etcetc

They Arebt hopped up street bikes. They are dedicated motogp prototypes thsts why they are only building a maxiumum of FIVE

Probably right, but you never know. Honda does some weird shit.

Yeah, Lucky Jones pointed that out already. But thanks again.
