If the part broke in race 1 I imagine it must have been replaced with a new one. For it to brake again in race 2 seems like lightnig striking twice at the same place. Seems odd to me.

I agree it seems likely the same thing happened in race 2 but the team were too embarrassed to say so! I used to race an FZR400 btw Thanks for the insight.

All of the reports I've read say '3 seconds' but it was a lot more than that, probably 6 or 7 seconds by my "one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc." count as they came past me. FWIW, the word we got at the Ducati tent from someone with Ducati NA was that the 'throttle motor in the fly by wire system refused to respond', not that a wire itself broke. I'd almost bet the same thing happened in race 2. Checa certainly had a huge lead in race 1.
