According to Miguel he experienced fuel pump issues. Convenient that both riders had the same problem on the same lap.

Whatever happened, it was terrible. I don't know if Honda's trying to cover up a massive screw up by saying it was a part failure when it wasn't or everyone's just saying it was fuel without knowing the facts. Irrespective of that, it wasn't good to have 3 out or 4 bikes out of the race and nearly the 4th as well.

That is a funny pic.

And being that it's FX, they would be allowed to run them legally.

Aparently Honda says it was venting issues in their quick-fuelling system which was an aftermarket item.
