The Engine Rules Start To Bite: Old Engines Dusted Off For FP1 At Misano
Source: MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks - ... that Ducati out of WSBK is almost as big as Rossi to Ducati - Friday, 3rd September 2010, 20:47 GMTEver since the introduction of the six-engine rule in MotoGP, keen MotoGP watchers have been wondering when the engine limits might bite. After FP1 at Misano, the 12th round of MotoGP, the answer seems to be about now. A host of riders were left pulling old motors off the shelf to use to work on their race setup. Six riders went out on their #1 engine, which first saw action back in Qatar, while two more took out their #2 engines. Even the newer engines being used had racked up the miles. Both Mika Kallio and Casey Stoner took out engines for their 32nd sessions, Marco Melandri put the 30th session on his #2 engine, Aleix Espargaro's Ducati Desmosdici engine saw its 28th session, while the Suzuki of Loris Capirossi and the Honda of Andrea Dovizioso saw action for the 27th time. Kings of the high mileage were Ducati. Four of the five Ducati riders went out on old engines, Stoner, Kallio and Espargaro taking the oldest engines, while Hector Barbera's engine had been used relatively lightly, with just 23 sessions under its belt. read more Read article

2010 Misano MotoGP FP1 Result – Pedrosa Crushes The Field
Source: MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks - ... that Ducati out of WSBK is almost as big as Rossi to Ducati - Friday, 3rd September 2010, 13:02 GMTDani Pedrosa's outstanding form continues, the Spaniard crossing the Atlantic after winning in Indianapolis, then setting the fastest time in the first session of free practice for the MotoGP class at Misano. Pedrosa's advantage was sizable, the Repsol Honda rider besting his teammate Andrea Dovizioso by over six tenths of a second. Jorge Lorenzo looked like getting close to Pedrosa's time, but once Pedrosa upped the pace to drop into the 1'34 bracket, Lorenzo could not follow, ending the session in 3rd behind the Repsol Honda pair. Lorenzo headed up a gaggle of Yamahas, finishing ahead of Fiat Yamaha teammate Rossi by just under a tenth of a second, and the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha pairing of Colin Edwards and Ben Spies. Another pair of teammates finished in 7th and 8th, Nicky Hayden ending ahead of a deflated Casey Stoner, who told the press yesterday that he simply could not get any more out of the current version of the Ducati.
