Another thing which just hit me is the politics involved by Ducati Corse etc Renegade are effectively at a point where GSE were a few years ago, and were privvy to various data and new parts, but when I was at Assen and chatting to a few peeps in the Renegade camp it came to light that Ducati had stopped Haga having the tyres he wanted for race day, as they didn't want a non factory team to win the championship, as you can imagine, and at that point in the championship it was a 4 way battle still 2 factory bikes, a privateer bike and a Honda.... Ducati have no control over Honda, but take the privateer 999 out of the equation and voila 2 factory bikes against one Honda |
