MotoGP Round02 Jerez/Espagne [01-03/04]

[Texas Terror]

De Jeremy Burgess :

"All this talk about a seamless shift gearbox will not be the reason Honda win races. I can tell you that you would be a mug to think that the Yamaha M1 gearbox is not something special.

"If anyone thinks Honda now have cutting-edge technology, it might be because they have come from a long way behind.

"Yamaha have a very smooth, advanced system. I know how it works and I've also been privy to the inside of some of the trick F1 gearboxes with the top teams.

"Seamless shifting is not an engineering marvel, it is not rocket science. You might save one hundredth of a second, and that's only on an upshift. For sure it's a nice feeling for the rider to have those shifts but it's not the difference everyone is rabbiting on about."
