WSB + Pirelli...whats the difference???

Two recent articles I've read dont seem to sit too well with me regarding the change to 'control' tyres in WSB.

First was Colin Wrights comment that it inst cheaper to move to Pirellis and that infact it would cost his team up to £20,000 MORE than if they stayed with Dunlop.

Second - this weeks comment that Pirelli actually produced a tyre almost specifically for Foggy Petronas to help reduce the chatter on the bike ??? Eh ???

Dosn't this go against the principal of having 'everyone' on the same tyres!

Dont get me wrong - I'd love to see CW on the podium every race but this does not seem quite right somehow.

I just wonder how much Pirelli payed for the 'priviledge' of suppling the tyres.
