If you check most pro bikes, they'll have a zip-tie around the transponder/trandponder mount. Olly Stone still has a habit left over from his GP days of wrapping it in electrical tape instead. Why? Over there, if a rider had a bike problem during qualifying, they'd leave it and bring the transponder back to mount on the backup bike so they could log a time. Obviously that's not the case here, but some habits die hard.
