Anyone hear anything about what happened to his bike in the first moto? It sure looked like a chain. He looked down on that side after he crested that little hill and then the bike coasted very easily for quite a ways. If the motor let go, you'd think it would have shown some signs like smoke or locking up at some point. I would also think he would have at least tried to kick it over but he knew for some reason that it was a lost cause before he even stopped rolling.

When I talked to someone from PC, I asked if it was fuel (because it was late in the moto) or engine. They said engine, when they could have taken the easy route and said fuel. I’m sorry that answer wasn’t adequate for you.
Thanks for all you do GuyB! Most of us appreciate the info.

No smoke or evidence of a piston failure or lock up.
Word from the team it was an engine failure.
An Oregano on the sideline eating a bag of dicks.
sounds like a transmission failure with a side of cock in mouth to me
Why don't they have a second race bike, fully set up ready to fuel up & go?
Deal with the blown one on Monday morning..?
Maybe thinking along the lines that motors will be less 'delicate' if they're designed to last two motos?
either that or the mechanics day is a stressful one.
