While the debate of the Rossi-Lorenzo data sharing occupied the pages of various forums, Repsol’s Honda Team Director Kazuhiko Yamano has admitted that like Yamaha riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, Repsol riders do not share data information: “So, at Repsol Honda, since 2008, data has been separate in the pit garage.
But development side the data is still shared.
Yamaha is starting this year, but we started in 2008.
”The only novelty in this so called revelation is that the usually tight lipped Honda management has actually gone public with something, albeit with something we’ve already known.
Can anyone forget the Alberto Puig and Nicky Hayden media handbag fight back in October 2008? Just to refresh your memories, Albert Puig told MotoGP.
com: “All I can say is that Hayden may be bothered because now he can’t access information and telemetry data from Dani’s bike.
With this information he was able to improve his riding, as he had all of Dani’s references and now he can’t use that any longer.
He was simply copying as he never knew how to set-up a bike.
