What do you mean an 'agreement not to claim'?

Do the engine manufacturers have to supply any other team on the grid if they ask?

CRT stands for Claiming Rules Team. Basically in order to stop a factory entering MotoGP on the cheap any CRT team could claim an engine from any other CRT team for €20k. This was designed to prevent exotic materials and to keep the CRT bikes a great deal cheaper than a proper MotoGP bike.

whats with redding lately, he seems to have lost it big time, only 13th fastest today

They said at Misano he was suffering from arm pump and had it operated on last week, not sure how much effect that is having on him but they say he has 19 stitches in his arm at the moment. He does seem to be very up and down though, some times he's very good and others he just seems to be off the pace.

From what they were saying in the commentary its 19 staples down the entire forearm area and the leathers and compressing it due to swelling but they didn't want to take the risk of it getting worse with the 3 races on the bounce later in the season so had to do it after the last race.
 
MotoGp 3 is about to start on the BBC.

MotoGp 2 is now on. The first race was ok hoping this race is better.

Scot is already in second place from 13th! 17 laps to go

A good 4th place for Scot... well done great race. Love to know were Terol got the speed from to finish 1st?

I think what happened was Danny felt how close Marquez was on the way into the bend so gave it loads to get a good exit & high sided. From all the angles BBC2 HD showed it didn't look to me if he was even close enough to touch him.

Good race though. :cool:
 
Quite enjoyed the race for once, good start, fast forward to Dani's crash then fast forward to the last 5 laps :D

Just goes to show how much they rely on TC when Dani is claiming theres nothing he could do because the TC was broken lol :D
I don't agree Marques was coming in too hot, not on that line, looked like either Pedrosa or Lorenzo had backed them up into the corner.
 
Video popped up confirming the cable got cut

http://www.motogp.com/en/videos/2013/Sepang hearing arranged after MarquezPedrosa touch

It's really hard to imagine him cutting the cable there as it would have to be with either the clutch or bar end. Really really stupid if he gets a penalty for it to be honest, we see fairing rubbing in all the good races it would be a shame if they start penalizing riders for it. Not like he intended to do it, or if he did then that's some damn fine accuracy! :D
 
pedrosa moaning like mad about marquez today. ''too agressive''

for me its called racing... think how many times dani has held him up this season despite him being faster in every way. even lorenzo knew when he was beaten yesterday

like stoner and lorenzo previously pedrosa just isnt used to being passed and obviously doesnt like it one bit
