I found this picture and noticed something different... check out the swingarm and rear disc on Pedrosa's bike... ?!?!

Haydens been testing all the new parts (for next year) from HRC all year.  I read somewhere that there's even a bit of frustration on his part because it distracts him from concentrating on the championship and sometimes keeps him from using parts that they are familiar with and they know work.  Tough life being the top dog.

 I read somewhere that Hayden's larger rear disc is as big as it is to compensate for his heavy rear braking.. It's been said that he has a bad habit of braking too hard because of his experience with dirt track.. Supposedly his rear brake setup consists of a huge rotor with a smaller piston so his rear brakes don't bite as hard.. That's as far as I know, anyway.
