YES ! A Racing question! This is not funny.....?

Question

I know that Yammy are using a new seat unit, but there is no way that can kill lap times "This" badly.

What is going on here?:http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_news.htm?menu=news&news_id=21315&championship_id=3&section=1

Answer 1

Rossi said they were trying new things on the bike but I thought that it will bring only good results! I was hoping for Yamaha to start showing some progress! They are embarrassing themselves and their riders!

Hope they remove all the problems. I really want to see Edwards and Vale in the first 5 positions...

(I'm gonna miss the race because I'm traveling both on Saturday and Sunday, but I really want to see some good results when I come back! This season is almost over so I thought a few wins would make Valentino happier...)

Yamaha will have lots of work during the break between the two seasons!

Answer 2

I think Colin sums it up nicely

I'm riding PRETTY hard out there.

that's not flat out

is it  ?

Answer 3

Owch, ok things can't be that bad purely because of a seat so what's going on.  I read that Rossi has told Yamaha to get things sorted or he's off, might not be a bad idea given this story.
