That sucks...I really wanted him to stay in the race for the championship.
Jims crash looks more epic...Jim even walked away from his.
yea, Jim's is 'fly by wired'

Puig should have thrown his body under him to break his fall.
Putting his hands in the air, like he just doesn't care.

Did Toyota design that part?

Hmmm....the article mentions a 'throttle cable'? Is the Honda 'true' fly by wire, or does 'fly by wire' include some sort of cable?
A PROBLEM WITH the throttle cable on Dani Pedrosa's Honda RC212V has been attributed as the cause of the Spaniards crash in this morning's first free practice at Motegi.
Repsol Honda MotoGP issued a statement surrounding the crash, part of which reads:
'A small problem with the throttle cable didn't allow Pedrosa to close the throttle when he came to brake, an issue which has already been investigated and resolved.'
"A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.”

Fly by wire still has a cable. there's a computer in between the throttle and the butterfly.

gotcha...figured something like that.
Wonder why they do it that way? Certainly they could have designed FBW without a cable...

Dunno, but that's the way my bike is and the throttle doesn't feel good. Gimme an old domino assembly with heavy carb springs any day. FBW sucks and is car technology IMO.

Honda will probably blame the crash on the existence of 2-strokes.
