In the states some teams use dry ice either directly in the fuel (not my choice) or running the fuel through a fuel cooler.with dry ice surrounding the radiator that is cooling the fuel. This would be a must for Thailand and I can imagine possibly India next year.
Anyway, if you want to hear KTMs approach from Pit Beirer.

"Beirer: I think the problem was related to the heat in general, and the fuel started to boil on top of the hot engines. Our engineers found a great balance between performance and engine heat, which means we don’t run our engines on their maximum power level in these conditions, as it keeps them very healthy and cool. It looks like this idea paid off for us!
The fuel that we used in Thailand was very similar to the race fuel we use in Europe, so our bikes did not react strange at all. I really don’t understand why other bikes had these dramatic problems; all teams got the spec sheet for the fuel before the race, and nobody had any doubts looking at the data."
For what it's worth.
Camerawork from mxgp-tv or mxlife or even back in freecaster have always been shit. I dont know how they do it but the AMA Cameraguys somehow catch everything relevant on camera. If RV crashes in 13th place, they will show a slowmo a few mins later.
In the GPs it seems like all cameras are fixed on one rider or a battle, or just waiting for that one rider to come by...

Before the start of the second MXGP moto, Adam Wheeler had just started to describe what he saw when Searle crashed, and he just got the words "Engine Bog" out of his mouth when the producers cut him off and went to the starting line reporter Brit girl.
Normally Wheeler and Malin ramble on about nothing, but when he was going to report significant info they cut off his mic? Why?

Its kind of like if I went to the Seattle Supercross and the only food the vendors were selling were dried prunes and baked beans and it was required that each spectator ate a helping of each. Now I have a cast iron constitution but some of the "Wet-Siders" are more likely to be delicate, so I would have an unfair spectating advantage and before you know it my cheap seat tickets would be exchanged for upper 100 level tickets.
I say, cancel the points from this round and let everyone keep there trophies etc.
It happens. Sometimes it is Yamaha, sometimes it is the Honda's starts, it happens, no need to make a drama.
Back to the Thai GP, I guess it is a learning curve & the organizer was not lucky with the current political issues, next year(s) the issue will be solved. Racing a GP in Thailand is indeed not like going to Milestone, yes exotic GPs are more complicated but it is necessary for the sport. We must understand the BRIC or ASEA are the future, not Europe or the US.
Taking about sport now, I feel bad of course for Searle & the riders who had issues.
