From MotoGP.com:
In addition to fuel, lubricant suppliers provide the teams with race modified engine oil, to lubricate and therefore reduce friction, which produces better fuel economy. This in turn means the bike can carry a minimum amount of fuel.

Don't use the 20W50!
This engine runs better with a 10W40. The hidraulic lifters and chain tensioner are critical in this car, 20W50 is too thick, and mineral oils create excessive sludge for the lifters.
My father was a expert in this cars, working in the 80's for the brand.

Last weekend I run with Motul 300V 15W50 again, definitely starts faster, shift better and clutch runs smooth whith the Petronas 5w40, but only for a short periode.
