In 2008 data sharing in the Repsol Honda garage between riders was very limited – at least that’s what Kazuhiko Yamano former team director said at the time.
In 2011 when Honda was fielding Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Casey Stoner, Shuhei Nakamoto and Livio Suppo said that sharing more open than in the past, and to which Suppo added, “There is some data that is more related to the set-up of the bike and set-up of the bike can be more up to the rider.
This can be an advantage sometimes, so it is correct that they can keep it.
”In a team with two riders, the first rule of competitive racing is to beat your team mate and try not to reveal any secrets, but apparently Dani Pedrosa who has never openly complained about sharing set-up data (Alberto Puig has) told Spanish Catalunya Radio, following the Italian GP, that Marquez copied his set-up for the race, which allowed him to run in second before crashing out with three laps left.
.
“Marc’s race was incredible after crashing so hard on Friday, and he was going very strong, but we know that he copied our set-up.
They gave his team all the information that we gathered yesterday [which was Saturday] in order to improve traction and that made things easier,” said Pedrosa.
It sounds like that the veteran Honda rider is a little tired of doing all the grunt work and not getting any praise for his efforts, even if he is currently leading in the standings.
