"I’m a bit disappointed but I’ll probably go and speak to him at Sachsenring and see if we can resolve it and improve the situation.”

Electronics. The word the fans love to hate, and the factories love to use. Electronics have become immensely important in MotoGP, though not perhaps in the way that many fans think they are. With a strict limit of 21 liters of fuel (the 21 litre limit is staying when the 1000s return from 2012), electronics strategies have become crucial to making a competitive MotoGP bike. The key here is conserving as much fuel as possible, to ensure you have power throughout the race.
Saving fuel and improving traction is done primarily in two places: in corner entry and on corner exit. Though the fans all complain about traction control on corner exit, the biggest gains - and the biggest revolution in MotoGP riding styles - has been on corner entry. Bikes now enter the corner still perfectly in line, the electronics working with slipper clutch systems to allow bikes to be pitched into corners fast and carry a lot of corner speed, 250-style. From mid-corner on, traction control systems take over, but they are dialed back as far as possible to save fuel. The rear can spin, but only a fraction, just enough to put pressure on the front and help turn the bike faster. The more successful a rider is at doing that with his wrist, the less electronics need to interfere, the less fuel there is wasted, and the better the drive coming out of the corner. Use a lot of traction control and you end up losing drive and acceleration; use very little, and if you have the throttle control, you get the maximum amount of traction and drive, while also conserving tires.
