    Engineers, Designers and Professional Teams aren't perfect, they don't always get it right. Sometimes it takes doing something dumb to shift things along. Bolting lead to it may have made it worse, or it might not have. The point is those Engineers, Designers and Professionals have spent the last few years not getting it right and something needed to happen. They'd gone well past the point of doing things the way they're normally done.

    It happens in my line of work. I'll sometimes get to a point where nothing I do improves things no matter what I try but then I'll try some things that are out of left field and they show results that move things in a different direction.

    When what you're doing isn't working do something else.

    as I said before shane, if the experienced proffessionals could not get it write in 2 years of trying, there is and was NO hope for the Ducati ( Since Stoner left) he could ride there old 800 ( Less tourque from the 800 MAY have helped) as he can be a flat track rider, ie rear wheel stearing, rossi is a centimetre perfect style of rider, ( He also can rear wheel ride, but not as aggressively as Stoner) Heyden unfortunately is past his very best, ( although still extremelly good) so the combo was up shit creek from the get go.

    The Motor angle is wrong, as they cannot move it forward or back enough to keep the weight ballance, and cannot rotate it forward or back enough due to height and other reasons
    The Carbon is to rigid giving no flex for turn in and feel
    The carbon swingarm again to rigid, giving not enough flex to get traction down
    The different length swingarms over the last 2 years was to try and overcome this problem.

    As discussed many times, the position of the motor is totally wrong for weight balance and tourque inertia , so NO WAY would a hunk of lead be of any use, if it did give a gain, there still would have been a loss, most probally highlighting the lack of flex giving the rider the lack of feel.

    Of course my opinions as yours are purelly based on shite I have read

    What interview?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Without doubt Bill, Vale could easily give Stoner microphone lessons. While there he should give advice on handling himself as World Champion. (but that's all pointless now)
    Stoners gone now, MM will fill his shoes nicely.
    Today is Vale's first ride back on the yamaha, will he click right away ?

    Great rider, but ?
    He was home schooled from about age twelve, might have missed a few units.
