That the Honda go like a rocket is something obvious. That have beaten to his rivals, especially Yamaha, we do not doubt it. What we do not know is whether we are facing a revolution caused by the arrival of Casey stoner to the ranks of the Repsol team or simply the racing department, that is to say HRC, He has not been able to enjoy Christmas this winter with his family because Shuei Nakamoto has had them enslaved within the racing department creating the "perfect" bike.

Good jokes aside. In fact, the HRC boss himself appeared before the press because of the rumors that placed the Honda RC 212 V of the official pilots with some supposedly illegal mechanical component.

Alberto Porta, a journalist for Mediaset TV, the chain run by Berlusconi that has television rights in Italy, was chosen to spread the news at the time. Two weeks earlier Porta reported that Honda was using a new clutch and gear change unlike anything seen so far. Then nobody spoke to the respect nor did he deny said news. Already in Sepang, a member of the Yamaha team recognized the journalist that:

It was then that the journalist began to consider the possibility that the clutch carried by the Honda RCV was similar to the one double clutch that carry the Honda VFR 1200 on the street:

If we focus on pure mechanics we will see that when one clutch is acting, the other is already ready to engage the next gear, streamlining much the process. The truth is that Alberto Porta never mentioned that he was the DTC (Dual Clutch Trasmission) that carry the Honda VFR 1200. Thus, Honda has demonstrated its power, specifically, the power of its HRC racing department and of the more than 150 engineers who have been working this winter on the new bike.

On Thursday Shuei Nakamoto denied that it was a DTC because "this would be illegal" although what is true is that there is something in there. We are not saying that the merit of the results of Casey Stoner or Dani Pedrosa is attributable to HRC, more than anything because Pedrosa last year already had a good rhythm from the second half of the season. But if, seeing so many Honda in front, in the racing department of the brand with the golden wing they have not been eating nougat with their relatives this Christmas.
