Heard an interesting comment from one of the race commentators on Sunday, he was talking about how Lorenzo lost an engine at Assen and how that could have been prevented if they ran the mercury tilt switch they run in practice.
Reason they don't run them in the race is so a remount is possible if the engine is still running, but that's entirely optional.
Wonder if they should be made spec all the time in the interests of safety?
Wouldn't be the first time a throttle has jammed open with a bike in gear and down in race, a pretty dangerous condition.
