Why was the tire spinning up (Lorenzo's, not the ferret's)? They all had the same rear tire. ECU was programmed differently. Seems impossible that the tire could spin at such high speeds but over 200 HP to the rear wheel, bike weighs ~350 pounds, yes, it will spin. Anti-wheelie and wheelspin controls have to be very carefully programmed. Rider holds the throttle WFO on the straights and lets the computer do the thinking. Rossi's team did a better job of programming the bike's ECU. Not to mention his skill and experience as a competitor.
Anyone would be disappointed after getting spanked in his home court. As young Indiana Jones was advised in the third movie of the series, "You lost this time, kid. But you don't have to like it."
