I wondered how long it would take for this to come up.

My thoughts exactly

This will probably need to be a unanimous decision to change and I doubt very much anyone (other than Rossi) wants this. Lorenzo would likely shut it off immediately.

Oh, shit, I'd pay money to have the audio feed From Cal and Jack.

Any idea why Repsol Honda is sitting out the test? I'd have thought it would be crucial to get data on a new track.

This is all I've seen.

"Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) were two of the bigger names absent from the test having already run at the circuit twice for promotional events on street bikes."

I saw something along the lines of: Since Ducati organized the test, and Honda vetoed wings.... then Honda doesn't get to play at the test.
That may just be bullshite that someone made up.

Where's my hat   I'd say probably because they were just there and are familiar with the layout. They weren't on their GP bikes, but they'll sort it out come race day. (?)
