1. No, the RC did not ask me directly. There were discussions with various riders, and feedback (read: rumours) from the paddock which indicated that there was some suspision about Dom's bike. The RC agreed that if there was enough questions being asked then a protest should be made. I was the only person who was brave (read: stupid
) enough to do that.
2. The protest was sponsored and no club funds were used.
3. No - see above.
4. Apologies for those that were stuck in the paddock, but that is down to New Era and the ACU. Remember that the protest rules are there for exactly this reason - to find out the truth and stop rumours - and it could happen at any time on any bike. The same happens at all levels in all classes from us right up to Honda in WSB, and that is why things have to be so tight from a legal and procedural perspective.
