So you live by the credo, " if someone on the internet said it, it must be true". Like I said you obviously were not watching. Rossi did not show up to work one day to find Bridgestones on his bike.Dorna is the one that went out and got them for him.
Riders are nothing but tools for factories. They give input and engineers tweak to their liking. Riders cant put random parts on bike because they feel it would work better for them. If this were the case, Cal would probably be sporting frame sliders. Riders can lobby for change but in the end its up to the manufacturers
Fixed it for ya
