    On MM's youtube channel there is one of those STON93R videos from after the testing. He said that, and he also said that the bike was like 2 notches slower - but I am not sure that comment wasnt about the last race (the 2 notches one I mean)

    Fabio and morbidelly were shocked that the 23 yamaha motor was as slow as the 22 one.
    Which begs the question, did yamaha pull a swifty by giving fabio a "sprint" motor for that earlier test in order to secure his signature on that contract extension?

    Excellent. Another season of Ducati trying to lose the championship by letting it's fleet of riders steal points from each other.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    MM was also upset that his bike was slower, although Crash reckons that there might have been some gamesmanship going on there - reving up the engineering team, and also not letting the opposition know just what is going on..
    Apparently Crutchlow (and he is the tester) still thinks the yammy has more power and is faster, so its quite possible FQ is doing something similar.

    always a problem with dream teams. Its why dani was the pefect team mate ussually in a high finishing place but behind the no 1 rider and every now and then he would destroy everyone

    Exactly. Ducati may live to regret ditching Jack Miller for that very reason.

    He should have done that in his first season in WSBK, the cross-eyed muppet.
