Repsol Honda 2011 structure revealed

More details of the enlarged three-rider 2011 Repsol Honda MotoGP team structure have been revea🐽led.
HRC vice president Shuhei Nakamoto stated that, contrary to some previous rumours, all riders - Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and new signing Casey Stoner -😼 will ride from one pit garage.
The only exception will be f൲or purely practical reasons.
"We will have three riders in one♏ box. At maybe three races we will have a small box, so we will have to think about that," said Nakamoto.
"So at the moment it looks like at 15 races༺ we will be able to have one huge garage," confirmed HRC's communication & marketing director Livio Suppo, "Just in some circumstances it may not be possible because of the pit layout.
"And no wall."
Nakamoto and Suppo also explained that data sharing between the team-mates, whilst more open than in previous seaso🎶ns at Repsol, will have some limits.
"S🍎ome of the data will be shared but not all. This is because our three riders are te൲am-mates, but also competitors," said Nakamoto.
On the subject of why data is not fully shared, Suppo added: "There is some data that is more related to the set-up of the bike and set-up of the bike can be more up to the rider. This can be an advantage sometimes, so it is corr🐭ect that they can keep it."
Honda𒁃 will be the only factory team with three riꦰders this season, but Nakamoto insists HRC is more than prepared.
"We have enough resources to adapt to all three riders,"ꦕ he said.
So Hondﷺa will make tꦐhree different factory bikes if needed?
"Each rider always has a different machine [in some way], but the base is very similar for all three riꦬders," Nakamoto replied.
The question of team orders was also raised, with Nakamoto asked what will happen if one𒉰 HRC rider is clearly ahead of the others at the middle of the sꦕeason.
"If this case happens I will think," he said. "At this moment I think we have three riders who can fight for the title until the end of the seas෴on. This is what I hope and believe."
This season, each Repsol rider will have two electroniꦛc engineers.
