MotoGP: Pneumatic motor for Pedrosa at Mugello

By Visordown News

Factory Honda riders, Nicky Hayden and Dani Pedrosa will have to wait until after this weekend's race to try out pneumatic engine

DANI Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden will not have the new pneumatic motor fitted to their Hondas for the French round of the MotoGP championship this weekend - but will test it immediately after raceday before deciding if the new lump will be used at Mugello.

Even though the factory said that the pair would get the motors for the last round at China the duo were left without the extra-power, higher-revving and more responsive engines.

The new motor has been going through an extensive series of tests in Japan in the hands of Tady Okada and according to paddock insiders, reliability with the motor is not a problem.
