Also news coming from that incident between the honda team-mates at aragon where Marquez possibly unsettled Pedrosa under brakes which led to the highside lose by Pedrosa is that all Marquez but really Honda loses is 25 points for the manufacturers championship as there was no riders' points deducted.

Good news I would have thought as there wasn't much in it. A racing incident really and Honda can afford to lose the 25 points. Lorenzo doesn't think the same though

Why would they take point's of the Manufacturer? Doesn't make any sense to me, If they were going to take point's it should have been the rider, Even though I don't think there was anything in it anyway.

It's stupid but tbh i thought it was a racing incident that didn't warrant any points being penalised, so a manufacturer's penalty which is meaningless anyway given Honda's lead in the manufacturer's championship is the second best thing.

Yeah like you say, It suit's Honda perfectly as they have better scoring potential with Marquez and Pedrosa, Than Yamahaha with Rossi and Lorenzo. Pity HDT wasn't around to take the piss out of

Don't worry about taking the piss out of HDT, he like Lorenzo would be pissed off that Marquez didn't get any points deductions.
