But of course it can't be true, Lorenzo and Pedfosa are both Spanish, they must be lying and collaborating against Rossi.
On a side note, think back to 2010. At the start of the season Rossi insisted that data sharing was banned in the Yamaha garage. Lorenzo streaked away winning race after race, opening quite a points lead, all of a sudden Rossi and Burgess were demanding to see Lorenzo's data.
Wonder why and why Rossi is happy to share data now? The guy NEVER does anything that won't benefit HIM. If he thought his data might assist his team mate, he'd have it hidden from him immediately.
Conclusion: Rossi regularly made use of Lorenzo's setup data, as indicated by both Lorenzo and Pedrosa.
Reg data sharing, both factory riders seems to benefit from other's. Even lorenzo told tat he corrected his corner exit based on the feedback from his suspension engineer, who in turn got the impression from Rossi. Similarly, Bradley used to tell that satellite riders are also giving tons of data to the factory riders, however the reverse is not happening...

Rossi in turn used to follow lorenzo to get his speed up in the qualifiers. All the above three instances of using each.other were clearly documented from the lorenzo film and bradley's interviews.

If Ducati are smart, they'd keep Iannone, give him a factory bike with satellite badge.

True, however there was a top secret plan to lure Pedrosa to Ducati if negotiations failed to secure Lorenzo.
This picture was hacked from the Ducati Course engineering department. They planned to show it to Pedro to entice him. Ducati pointed out Rossi is going to be an ....... for 2 more years, which had the unintended affect of Pedrosa extending with Honda. The upshot was that convinced Lorenzo to sign with Big Red. The Pedrocycle 2.0 project code named Little Red is now in the scrap yard.

Lorenzo did indeed get the idea of picking the bike up slower like Rossi from his suspension engineer Patrick, who noticed this ON THE TRACK. Not by overnight perusal of his team mates' setup data. The allegations claimed that Rossi's setup data veered ever closer to Lorenzo's as the weekend went on...

Now VR has Viñalez to follow around for a tow.
He's been doing it all season, since Lorenzo sat in the pits, looking back at him during qualifying in Qatar.
I'll give him his dues though, he managed Jerez on his own.

100% agree with your thoughts on Ktm. I just think they are going to come ready to fight in top 10,,,,

In addition, Lorenzo during last year string of victories, told that his team after Argentina uses 2014 race data as a base setup and worked over it. Tat approach has calmed him pretty much and evolution based approach also prevented them from making radical silly mistakes. For a fellow rider, this gives u a pretty clear picture of what changes helps u in making grounds. However, their riding style won't allow them to have a similar setup

Data sharing can be accepted. However, when it neutralises your edge over your opponent, as a rider the frustration is understandable. Even the satellite riders deserves atleast some sharing of these knowledge. Bradley voiced the same last year.

Are you jerry burgess? Turned out he knew nothing about setting Rossi's bike up too!
Seriously no, I'd never knock JB, the guy performed wonders for years, I'm convinced his wife's health had a big part in his fall from grace.
It's the same bike, the same track, same time and weather. Does Rossi ride it backwards or side saddle? (Don't answer the latter)
Of course the settings will be similar, the media banged on endlessly how Rossi had to reinvent himself and ride like the others to keep up...
