Actually, I think the kid was telling dad to ease up on the chain tension on the 41, too bad Barcia's mechanic didn't have that kind of advice.

Love to see kids in that mode instead of whining about staying inside wanting to play video games IMO he looks like a very bright kid...

Someone here said mechanics were getting younger, but I thought they were full of BS! My bad.

I think it would be so bo$$ if the Factory Hondas had gold rims.

So is the final consensus that it wasn't a rock, but it was instead a Lego?

Rumor has it that after the race the diminutive chain tech was so distraught he went right to the bottle.

What's the difference between Canard/Barcia's bike to that of Bobryshev/Nagal's bike?

I'm guessing to protect the disc. Those brakes probably aren't cheap.

Protect your skin from what? The guy was asking about the covers on the spare wheels not the disc guard on the bike.

My guess would be that he meant protect the skin from the mechanics hands when he's changing the tire!

Yup, they're just there to protect the rotors and sprockets from dings in transport. And also to keep them from scratching other things as well.

Except a 250 East SX title and having more bikes in the entry list than any other manufacturer.
