Factories tune motors..rarely race teams do (Roberts was the exception i guess)
Other than a bit of twiddling ignition and fueling comp and timing and gear ratios its out of the mechanics hands.
That why it took so long for Honda to come right.
They were to obsesed with sexy dyno readings. Lawson and Spenser won championships i believe in spite of the bikes (NSR500) not because of the bike. Gardner won his on pure determined grit alone.
The championships are pretty much decided on set up and rider talent the difference between the different bikes are not that large now i believe.
Burgess it is said was a master at getting the set up right, so the rider had confidence in the bikes.

Not a betting man myself , but come flag drop next March/April Pol will be the No 1 by a margin.

Some more interesting tidbits... this time from JB.
Never, never give in.
Hey, thanks for that.
Makes sense and interesting to read: "No longer was it him alone who made things work or not, and that process of the individual becoming overtaken by the committee has accelerated in recent years "
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Too early for Smith/Laverty bets in 2015?

Smith's 1:30.598 compares to Lorenzo's fastest lap of the entire weekend of 1:30.577. Whichever way you slice it it's a fucking quick lap. He should probably retire on the strength of it
