| If you believe "mostly crap news", Ducati is less than happy with what Chili is doing with "mixing and matching". Doesn't seem to fit with their marketing strategy. Hmmm, I wonder why that would be...
Still, the real reason Chili won that second race has much more to do with the fact that he gambled on an intermediate rear. Everyone else was on full wets. If Laconi had been on intermediates, Chili would not have won. Simple as that, little to do with the bike.
This doesn't take anything away from Chili's win, but it does point out that (plagiarising from a certain Mr. Lemond) "it's not about the bike".
