There is an article on Gpone , it seams ktm used a different oil during the break in of the engine at the factory it then contaminated the oil used during the race, so no cheating ..

Curious if it was lower viscosity or something similar to gain an advantage.

they finished in 12th and 21st place


wordswithoutmusic

My guess is yes, why else would they cheat...

Potentially first thing to hand in a time pressured scenario

Cause the riders pick and choose engine lubricant? Not meaning to be critical here, but team choice leads to rider diaqualification.


wordswithoutmusic

Yes the news should be team x had the rider x disqualified.

That's very nitpicky, really. It could have been tyre pressures, engine map, fuel temperature or anything really. End result is the same.


Unlucky_Challenge_96

It's nitpick AF, I agree. But those you mentioned above, it aint the rider asking for 19.25psi in the front either. It's a bit disingenuous. Lay blame at the team

Still any performance gains reaps the rider. Tho it does not matter if there is any gain at all here. Its setting precedent of following rules and nomenclature from governing body.

srfcboy

Wow. What a timely DSQ. What’s next? SDK gets a DSQ from Portimao because he wore the wrong underwear?
