Yes I was wondering about that - but I assume the engine allocation is race only - ? Yamaha and Tech 3 seem to talking about switching engines without any sense of it counting.

I was wondering about that too! Ie if they leave Sepang after another wet day tomorrow, with a batch of unused tyres, surely the factory would think about trying to get a day or two somewhere in Europe, so that's it not all down to the the third and final test at Jerez.
