    Which in order to swap out, they have to break the seals on the engines. Will be interesting to see if the other manufacturers allow them to.

    Why would they have to break the seals? Is the pipe sealed too?

    I imagine a design/quality issue, so all of them?

    For that sensor ? I doubt that they would place a sensor that can fail even if new in a place where the seals need to be broken to change.
    Plus, where would they place a exhaust temp sensor inside the engine? It’s more than likely placed on the header and should be easily swapped out.

    Yeah, I would think it’s gotta be a port or a bung in the header pipe. If it’s something else, really no harm in tearing one of the two suspect failed ones and taking a closer look for anything. Not like they will use those ones again anyway. They just can’t make any changes to the others but at least they can gain some piece of mind etc.

    You would think that if the flywheel can be made external, an exhaust sensor is swappable.

    It's part of the ECU more than the motor.

    Soooo. Am deserved a gp ride cause he was a moto2 champ? Hes so good that he hadn’t even raced yet and he was demoted. No other team had interest in him. Zero. If you think his brother didn’t have anything to do with him getting that ride you are nuts.

    Eighth place in standings but somehow doesn’t belong.
    We’re running out of moths.

    Serious question: Riders with Moto2 (or 250CC) world champions. Do they belong?
    Zarco- 2 Moto2 World Championships, does he belong?
    Morbidelli- 1 Moto2 world Championship
    PEspargaro- 1 Moto2 Championship
    Rossi- 1 250CC championship
    Rabat- 1Moto2 Championship
    Bagnaia- 1 Moto2 Championship
    MMarquez - 1Moto2 Championship


    Riders with ZERO Moto2 Championships... Do they belong?
    Dovi
    Petrucci
    Vinales- Moto3 Championship
    Quartertaro
    Lecuona
    Nakagami
    Binder Moto3 Championship
    Crutchlow
    Mir Moto3 Championship
    Smith
    AEspargaro
    Rins
    Miller
    Oliveira

    Basically I am asking what YOUR criteria is? Right now, based on actual facts, not your emotions, I don't see your logic.

    Of the listed riders with Moto2 Championships, hes sitting higher than Zarco, Morbidelli, Bagnaia and Rabat. Only PEspargaro and Rossi, who also have middle class titles are ahead in points.

    He was NEVER going to be there more than this year. They had NOBODY else available to give the ride to. I don't see what is so hard about that.....

    Are you guys are seriously taking his bait? There is no new stupid he can bring in here that hasn't been addressed over the course of 800 posts. You guys are double-clowning him by addressing him like a normal human adult, right?

    Right?

    Johnny Rea deserves a factory MGP shot over AM. Other than that I got nothing.
