Isn't this really a case of alien status in the 800cc era?

Pedrosa is Honda's boy with one lucky win for Dovi. So is the Honda a dog and Dani is a mega talent?

Yamaha had two aliens, thus more wins by multiple riders.

Look at who has won races in the 800cc era other than rain type races, and you get the four aliens.
And yes, all four are mega talented.
