At which point did CSS make him fast???

Did they make him fast or did their assistance in some way help him to stay on the bike by changes (possibly only minor) in technique ?

I seem to recall an old adage "you have to finish to win" or "to come first you first have to finish"

Fair point Paul, but I later found out that this 2004 season that Luthi was such a crasher - he actually didn't even compete at the first 7 GP's due to pre-season injury - so not like he fell off 7 times, he wasn't even there!

Then the last 8 GP's that he did do - he finished every race!! Most of them in the top 10.
