I quoted your words when I answered you, that's where you said it with your brlliant similes of the fox , the farmer, etc.
About being tiresome, excuse me Kesh, but it is you and Mental inflicting on everybody this obsession that Ducati cheated etc. etc. And you still insist even if it's clear that all the rest of the world has understood since ages that there is an agreement and it's all ok, and nobody could care less. How would you call that kind of attitude.
I told you long ago that there was a verbal agreement that would be ratified at Estoril. It is now confirmed beyond doubt. It's time to let this issue die, believe me Keshav.
Me...? I let it die a while ago. Some while back I said that it looked like you're right. What kept me feeling suspicious for a long time was the fact that Ducati released a video with no sound - which made me wonder if in fact fact they were testing the 800 under the guise of testing the 1000. And strictly speaking - the bike they tested (as per their own PR) was the 2012 engine in the 2011 chassis - which strictly speaking - does not constitute a 2012 bike. This is what Gavin Emmet was chuckling about because in essence they were using this outing to work on improvements for the 2011 chassis - which is illegal. Since the bike was not gone over by scrutineers - we'll never know.
