Default Dani Pedrosa launch control f*** up!

I only just found out about this. Last weekend at free practice for the Moto GP, Dani Pedrosa stopped to do a practice start. Now either he forgot to switch on the traction/launch control or it never worked

imagine being one of the worlds top bike riders and then that happens
