MOTOGP » Elias critical of Ducati support.

belly, as you astutely said "who was behind the rule change?" As you hint it is accepted fact that Ducati blackmailed the rule change thru. So it is just semantics to argue that they were only "following the rules". Bottom line is they make an inferior performing machine cc for cc and need more cubes to be competitive. I've heard all the arguements before about twins deserve this and that but it's all rubbish. If so why is there not different rules for v4's v inline 4's etc etc. Sorry to all for highjacking the thread, but the ducatista rubbish annoys me & many. PS - I also ride a beemer (amongst others) so I'm neutral as well

I love how the Ducatista drop out of the trees whenever there is a shread of critisim directed at a Ducati machine. If they for a minute opened thir other eye things would become much clearer. Just watch what happens when I say that they had to cheat (+200cc) to make a compettiive superbike!!!

Elias has to be the most dissapointing rider in Motogp. Claims the "parts dissappeared" are absolute rubbish, he has a proven history of bludging as soon as his new contract is signed. And as far as a "factory bike" goes - good luck Tony! ask Marco what Honda provides vs what is promises to satellite teams. They are a bunch of .........s.
