Vem spekulerar? Jag hänvisade till en intervju jag läste med någon som har koll, men mindes inte vem. DjDiff visade sig ha bättre minne än jag. Det var Roberts Jr som intervjuades förra året. Var och en får bedöma det rimliga i att han sitter och svamlar och far med halvsanningar.
”Okay, nobody remembers this, but, who rode the Yamaha the season before Rossi? Alex Barros. Remember they gave Barros an RC212V at the end of 2002 and he won three of the last four races on it. So he was very good. And Barros told Yamaha in 2003, 'Hey, you have no torque here. What you need is more power and a flatter torque curve so it has a wider powerband'. And so, when they go to build the new engine configuration, they make it with more torque, change the firing order, a wider powerband and more power.”
