Oh dear... This isn't going to be another FP1 is it?
Gorgeous machine, brilliant idea, sounded great, built by Suter... Abject failure, unfortunately.
Not really. Petronas were reportedly interested in sponsoring a satellite Yamaha with Jorge as pilot. Jorge is no longer available but Pedro might be and last I read there is, as yet, no Yamaha satellite team. So you can see why a magazine might add 2 + 2 and possibly get 10?
Yamaha have been pushing hard in South East Asia and Petronas is based there, so there are reasons why such a marriage might appeal to both parties. If something is going to happen though it needs to happen in the next coupla weeks or so.

In the early days of synthetics, the oil manufacturer's tried to outdo each other by making wide viscosity oils. Mobil used to do a 0W-50 from memory.
But on a bike, you want shear stable oils without viscosity improvers (VI) so that they don't get chopped up in the gearbox. So most motorbike synthetics are more normal viscosities like 10W-40 that don't need much or any VI's.
An extra press conference has been included in the schedule for Barcelona. A Dani Pedrosa solo press conference.
