They were caught cheating. It's been spelled out for everyone to see. Mladin can say whatever he wants to try and get a rise out of people, but if he wants to be mad at anyone, he needs to get in Don Sakakura's face for allowing his bike to race with a cheater crank.

What would be the competative advantage of these (ilegal) cranks?

Likely longer durability at higher RPMs. It's kinda hard to tell exactly what advantage it provides, but it doesn't matter. Yosh was caught cheating. Every other Suzuki on the grid had a legit, homologated crank, Yosh didn't. Whether that crank provides a big advantage doesn't matter, they cheated (and they KNOW the rules) and they get caught. While it's shitty timing for this to go down, I'm glad it happened. People seem to want to give a free pass to Yoshimura 'cause "they don't run that kind of program," but they do. They've been caught cheating before (BLATANTLY might I add) and they certainly bent the rules on TC as far as the rulebook could handle (and no other factories went down that road - most likely because they KNEW it was violating at least the spirit of the rule), so I don't know why everyone is so shocked to think they might do it again.

I totaly agree with you Daryl, rules are rules, they obviusly thought that they could get away with it given the history of bottom ends not being stripped. They are busted now must pay the price.
I think that the AMA has (is) handled this in a very professional manner. If you have rules then they have to be enforced.
I remeber (many) years ago some NASCAR teams were dipping the bodies in acid to remove metal and thus weight.

Thank God! Maybe this means I don't have to keep hearing about people's cranks. It makes feel all weird down there.
Sucks that Laguna is a parade lap, 'specially after Race 1 at Mattlanta.
