So is this http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2016/Jun/160602a.htm mumble speak for there were no engine failures, but the rev limiter system let the engines over rev until the engines failed, but repeat there were no engine failures lol, just wrecked valves and pistons, but again I repeat there were no engine failures , just because the valves and pistons were wrecked it didn't mean they failed.

Both the Race Director and Technical Director believe the story.
Mike showed me a clip from Race Direction video of the moment that they believe Rossi's bike hit the bump, got out of shape and over-reved.

Watched Rossi talking about it at the press conference. $1 part, electrical problem, inaccurate rev limiter and a very wry smile. It was the leetle jump that did it.

Yeah, but what I'm smiling about is there was still an engine failure, no matter what the cause was in the first place. That's why Soup were also tongue in cheek headlining it as "Rossi Lorenzo Engine Failures Were Not Engine Failures"

Might as well pull them out of a hat though. Still, looking forward to Q2 and the race.

Yamaha's YZR-M1 project leader was quite happy to use the failure word.

Not too many other words you could use really. Apart from the trusty kumara I guess...

Believe it or not that is what I thought happened, although I put it down to a failure of the seamless gearbox system. ie not slipping enough and over revving the engines on deceleration. Though on reflection I guess the electronics should have picked that up eh?
